Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address loose skin and excess tissue in the upper arm region. Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg offers this transformative intervention for individuals struggling with persistent arm skin laxity that cannot be resolved through diet and exercise.

Who Benefits from an Arm Lift?

  • Individuals experiencing significant weight loss
  • Patients with age-related skin loosening
  • People seeking improved upper arm contour
  • Individuals experiencing discomfort from excess skin

Surgical Procedure Details

Arm lift surgery is typically performed under anesthesia, with careful incisions made from the elbow to the underarm. The procedure involves removing excess skin and potentially employing liposuction to address stubborn fat deposits. Plastic surgeons Dr. Howard Heppe, Dr. Harold Bautista, and Dr. Pejman Aflaki ensure precise, discreet incision placement to minimize visible scarring.

Key Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

  • Eliminates stubborn hanging skin resistant to exercise
  • Reduces skin friction and associated discomfort
  • Enhances body confidence and clothing fit
  • Provides long-lasting body contouring results

Procedure Considerations

Patients can often combine arm lift surgery with complementary procedures like tummy tucks or liposuction. The typical recovery period spans approximately one week, with initial costs starting around $5,200. Surgeons will provide personalized post-operative care instructions to optimize healing and minimize scarring.

Comprehensive Arm Lift Consultation

Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg offers comprehensive consultations to determine individual candidacy for arm lift surgery. The medical team develops customized treatment plans addressing each patient's unique anatomical needs and aesthetic goals.

Scarring and Recovery

While surgical incisions will result in some scarring, the surgeons employ advanced techniques to minimize visibility. Patients are advised to follow post-operative care instructions, including using recommended healing ointments and avoiding UV exposure during the initial recovery period.

I am so pleased to share my enormous respect and admiration for Dr. Heppe and every one of the staff members at this medical facility. I was there to care for my friend having surgery. Not only was she treated compassionately and professionally during the entire experience, I was surprised that I, too, was given the same courtesy as her care partner. The appointments were on time, thorough, and informative. We were prepared with important information and immediate responses to any potential concerns we raised. When my friend experienced a difficulty, Dr. Heppe went beyond all expectations to assist her promptly and appropriately. We were reassured and comforted to know that every patient is treated "as the center of attention." I highly recommend the services of this extraordinary medical facility. We offer our highest gratitude for the way every one on the staff kindly contributed to make this time so amazing.

Dr. Bautista performed a breast revision in order to decrease persistent neck/back pain and other associated complaints. Dr. Bautista understood that I was interested in gaining my health and strength back by relieving pain. He did not try to convince me to undergo added procedures for “cosmetic effects” during my consult as other surgeons had. I appreciated his understanding and support for my intention. Extremely satisfied with results. The office and nursing staff were very supportive and kind as well.

Update: my mother still has staph and Heppe refuses to release her file to CDC. She has tried to get other local docs to help her but they are not willing to touch her case. Original: Dr. Heppe did a tummy tuck for my mother and left MANY stitches inside of her that still have not dissolved, two years post-op. She continues to battle staph infections and fevers yet he has told her twice that she is now "cured." Today she wakes up with a stitch literally poking out from her abdomen

I’ve got the Fraxel preformed on my face with Kristine and she made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire treatment. Dr. B prescribed me a prescription to prep as well as a numbing cream for the day of. I arrived one hour earlier than my scheduled time to allow the numbing cream sit and settle. Then, I had the Fraxel laser pass over several times and thankfully I had a cooling tube right by me which made each pass, at the more painful setting, much easier to tolerate. I’m still in the recovery phase, but it’s not as bad as a chemical peel. I have slight flaking, and it just look like I’m more flushed than usual. Looking forward to see the results over the next few months and can’t wait to go back for maintenance. Just make sure you follow the pre and post instructions to a T
