Understanding Arm Lift Surgery: Sculpting Confident Contours

Significant weight loss represents a remarkable personal achievement, but excess skin can often remain a challenging aesthetic concern. An arm lift procedure addresses sagging upper arm tissue, helping patients achieve more defined and toned arm contours.

What is an Arm Lift?

An arm lift, medically termed brachioplasty, is a surgical body contouring procedure designed to remove excess skin and reshape the upper arm's underlying supportive tissue. This transformative surgery targets loose skin that doesn't respond to exercise or diet, creating smoother, more proportionate arm profiles.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

Suitable candidates for arm lift surgery typically include individuals who:

• Have significant upper arm skin laxity
• Maintain a stable body weight
• Possess realistic surgical expectations
• Are in good overall health

Surgical Approach and Technique

Shenita White, M.D. customizes each arm lift procedure to address individual patient anatomy and aesthetic goals. The surgical technique involves carefully placed incisions to remove excess skin and tighten underlying tissues, typically requiring one to three hours under general anesthesia.

Recovery and Results

Most patients return to normal activities within seven to ten days, with complete healing occurring over several weeks. Compression garments and detailed post-operative instructions help optimize surgical outcomes and minimize potential complications.

Long-Term Arm Lift Benefits

Patients can expect improved arm contours, enhanced body proportions, and increased confidence in their physical appearance. Maintaining a consistent weight and healthy lifestyle supports long-lasting surgical results.

Potential Risks and Considerations

Like all surgical procedures, arm lifts involve potential risks such as scarring, changes in skin sensation, and healing variations. A comprehensive consultation with Shenita White, M.D. will thoroughly discuss these considerations.
