Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Tulsa, OK | Tulsa Surgical Arts

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Losing weight or aging can result in loose skin around the upper arms. At Tulsa Surgical Arts, Dr. Angelo Cuzalina offers upper arm lift surgery, or brachioplasty, to address excess skin from the elbow to the upper arm. This procedure helps patients achieve a more toned and contoured appearance when exercise and diet cannot eliminate loose skin.

Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

• Reduce skin-related irritation and rashes
• Alleviate physical discomfort from excess skin
• Improve arm appearance and body contours
• Enhance range of motion and mobility

Candidate Evaluation for Arm Lift

Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery are individuals who:

• Are near a stable, healthy body weight
• Have significant loose skin on upper arms
• Are in good overall health
• Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Procedure Details

Tulsa Surgical Arts performs arm lift surgery in a private surgical suite under general anesthesia. Dr. Cuzalina carefully removes excess skin from the elbow to the armpit, potentially incorporating liposuction to remove stubborn fat. While the procedure will result in a visible scar, the surgeon aims to minimize its appearance.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery typically takes approximately two weeks. Patients should:

• Rest and elevate arms
• Wear compression garments
• Avoid strenuous activities for 4-5 weeks
• Attend follow-up appointments

Potential Risks and Considerations

While arm lift surgery is generally safe when performed by an experienced surgeon, potential risks include infection, anesthesia reactions, and scarring. Following pre- and post-operative instructions carefully can help minimize these risks.
