Arm Lift Anaheim by Saba Motakef, MD
Arm Lift in Anaheim Hills, CA
Understanding Arm Lift Surgery
Loose skin on the upper arms can be challenging to address through traditional methods like diet and exercise. An arm lift (brachioplasty) offers a surgical solution for individuals struggling with excess skin from the elbow to the shoulder. Dr. Saba Motakef specializes in removing "bat wings" and creating more toned, contoured arms.
Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery
- Removing excess, sagging skin
- Reducing unwanted fat deposits
- Tightening and toning arm contours
- Improving overall mobility and comfort
- Enhancing self-confidence
Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift
Candidates for arm lift surgery typically have:
- Significant loose skin on upper arms
- Loss of skin elasticity
- Stable, healthy body weight
- Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
Surgical Procedure Details
Arm lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes two or more hours. The procedure involves carefully excising excess skin from the elbow to the underarm, potentially extending to the chest if needed. Liposuction may be incorporated to address stubborn fat deposits.
Recovery and Results
Patients can expect approximately one to two weeks of recovery time. Compression garments must be worn, and strenuous activities should be avoided for about four weeks. Initial results are visible immediately, with final results emerging as swelling resolves over several months.
Potential Risks and Considerations
While arm lift surgery is generally safe, potential risks include surgical complications, scarring, and anesthesia-related concerns. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Motakef will help patients understand individual risk factors and expected outcomes.
Combining Procedures
Arm lift surgery can be combined with other body contouring procedures such as liposuction, tummy tuck, or breast lift. Dr. Motakef can develop a customized surgical plan during the initial consultation.
