Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) in Napa, CA | Dwight H Murray Jr, MD

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

The natural aging process, significant weight loss, and other factors can cause skin along the upper arms to lose firmness and become inelastic. This accumulation of excess skin can be challenging to improve through exercise alone, making arm lift surgery an effective solution for achieving a more toned appearance.

Arm Lift Procedure Details

Medically known as brachioplasty, arm lift surgery involves carefully removing excess, sagging skin while tightening the remaining tissue. The procedure is designed to create smoother, firmer upper arms with minimal visible scarring.

Key Procedure Characteristics

• Discreet incision placement to minimize visible scarring
• Removal of inelastic skin
• Tightening of remaining skin tissue
• Optional liposuction to reduce fatty tissue

Recovery and Expectations

Arm lift surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. Most patients can resume normal daily activities within one week, though patients must avoid excess strain on the arms for several weeks following surgery.

Candidate Considerations

Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery include individuals with significant skin laxity in the upper arms who have maintained a stable weight and are in good overall health. A comprehensive consultation will help determine the most appropriate approach for each patient's unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
