Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Excess loose skin on the upper arms can occur due to aging, genetics, or significant weight loss. While exercise helps improve muscle tone, it may not fully correct skin elasticity concerns. An arm lift, or brachioplasty, removes excess skin, fat, and tissue from the elbow to the armpit, reshaping the upper arm contours.

Reasons for Arm Lift Surgery

• Desire for shapely and well-defined upper arms
• Improve upper arm to forearm proportion
• Address hygiene issues related to excess skin
• Enhance physical comfort and appearance

Benefits of Arm Lift Procedure

• Reduces sagging skin and excess fat
• Smooths wrinkled or crepey skin texture
• Enhances tone and upper arm contour
• Improves self-confidence

Arm Lift Procedure Details in Ashburn

Dr. Larry Lickstein performs brachioplasty as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. The surgical approach involves making an incision along the inside of the upper arm. Liposuction may be used to remove additional fat, creating optimal arm contours. Absorbable sutures close the incisions, and a compression garment supports healing.

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients experience reduced swelling and discomfort within one week. Dr. Lickstein provides personalized post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing. Patients are advised to arrange transportation and assistance for the initial recovery period.

Candidacy for Arm Lift Surgery

Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery are non-smokers at a stable, healthy weight with good overall health. The procedure is suitable for individuals seeking to address excess skin and improve upper arm appearance.

Combination Procedures

Arm lift surgery can be combined with other body contouring procedures such as tummy tuck, body lift, or as part of a comprehensive mommy makeover.
