Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) in Little Rock, AZ | Zachary Young, MD

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

As individuals age, arm skin may sag due to weight loss, gravity, or genetic factors. Arkansas Plastic Surgery offers brachioplasty to address loose skin and reshape the upper arm contour, providing patients with enhanced body confidence.

What is an Arm Lift?

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to:

• Remove excess skin and fat from the upper arm
• Tighten underlying supportive tissue
• Create a more proportioned and refined arm silhouette

Candidacy for Arm Lift Surgery

Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery typically have:

• Significant skin laxity in the upper arm region
• Stable body weight
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Procedure Details

The arm lift procedure is performed under general anesthesia and involves strategic incisions along the inner arm. Surgeons carefully remove excess skin and fat, then reshape the underlying tissue to create a smoother, more contoured appearance.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect a recovery period of 7-14 days, with gradual return to normal activities. While some scarring is inevitable, these will fade and become less noticeable over time. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve long-lasting surgical results.

Potential Risks and Considerations

Like any surgical procedure, arm lifts carry potential risks such as:

• Temporary swelling and bruising
• Changes in skin sensation
• Potential wound healing complications
