Arm Lift - Brachioplasty in Newport Beach | Cruise Plastic Surgery - Joseph Cruise, M.D.

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a specialized cosmetic surgical procedure designed to address loose, sagging skin in the upper arm region. Ideal for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or age-related skin laxity, this procedure removes excess skin and reshapes the underlying supportive tissue.

Who is a Good Candidate for Arm Lift?

• Individuals with significant loose skin in the upper arm
• Patients who have lost substantial weight
• Those experiencing age-related skin elasticity reduction
• Individuals with minimal subcutaneous fat in the arm area

Procedure Details

During the arm lift procedure, Dr. Joseph Cruise employs a comprehensive two-part technique that involves:

• Removing excess skin along the upper arm and armpit
• Re-suspending underlying tissues to restore arm contour
• Minimizing potential future sagging

Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

Patients who undergo arm lift surgery can experience numerous advantages, including:

• Elimination of hanging, loose skin
• Improved body proportions
• Enhanced clothing fit and style options
• Increased self-confidence
• Reduction of skin irritation and discomfort

Recovery and Expectations

Arm lift recovery typically involves:

• Approximately 10-14 days of initial recovery
• Gradual return to normal activities within 4-6 weeks
• Potential permanent surgical scars (strategically placed)
• Compression garment wear for optimal healing

Potential Risks and Considerations

Like all surgical procedures, arm lift surgery carries potential risks such as infection, scarring, and changes in skin sensation. Dr. Cruise emphasizes thorough pre-surgical consultations to assess individual candidacy and potential outcomes.
