Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) Dallas, TX | David E. Morales MD

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Upper arm skin can become permanently overstretched and sag due to aging and lifestyle factors, especially weight fluctuations. As arm tissues loosen, they can create hanging "flaps" that swing with movement. Diet and exercise often cannot correct significant tissue and skin laxity in the arms.

What is Brachioplasty?

Brachioplasty, commonly known as arm lift surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reshape the upper arms. This surgical technique tightens underlying arm tissues and eliminates excess skin and fat to achieve more youthful, toned arm contours.

Key Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

• Remove loose, hanging arm skin
• Eliminate excess arm fat
• Create more defined, muscular arm appearance

Arm Lift Procedure Options

Incision Techniques

Dr. Morales offers three arm lift incision approaches:

• Limited-Incision: Smallest incision within the armpit
• Standard-Incision: Extends from armpit to elbow
• Extended-Incision: Includes additional contouring along the torso

Recovery and Results

Patients typically return to work within three to seven days. Initial results become visible within two to three weeks as swelling subsides. Final arm contours may take up to six months to fully settle.

Candidacy for Arm Lift Surgery

Ideal candidates are individuals with excess upper arm skin that does not respond to diet and exercise. Patients should be in good health, maintain a stable weight, and have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.

Combining Procedures

Arm lift surgery can be combined with other body contouring procedures like thigh lift, tummy tuck, or as part of a comprehensive Mommy Makeover transformation.
