What is Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)?
Brachioplasty, or an arm lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have sagging or loose skin on their upper arms due to aging, significant weight loss, or genetics. Dr. Wentworth uses the latest techniques to ensure safe, effective, and natural-looking results.
Benefits of Arm Lift
Arm lift offers numerous benefits, including:
- Enhanced Contour: Achieve a more toned and sculpted appearance in your upper arms.
- Increased Confidence: Feel more confident wearing sleeveless clothing and enjoy improved self-esteem.
- Elimination of Excess Skin: Remove loose, hanging skin that cannot be addressed through exercise alone.
The Arm Lift Procedure
Dr. Wentworth utilizes advanced techniques to ensure that your arm lift procedure is safe, effective, and tailored to your goals. The process typically involves the following steps:
- Incision Placement: Dr. Wentworth will start by making strategic incisions on the inside or back of the arms to keep scarring minimal. The length and pattern depend on the amount and location of excess skin.
- Fat Removal and Contouring: Using liposuction, Dr. Wentworth will remove excess fat and contour the arms for a smoother, more toned look.
- Skin Removal and Tightening: Dr. Wentworth will excise the excess skin and tighten the remaining skin to improve the shape and firmness of the upper arms.
- Closure: Dr. Wentworth will carefully close the incisions with sutures and apply dressings to support healing.
