Arm Lift in Washington, DC | Dr. Stephen B. Baker, MD

Understanding Upper Arm Lift Surgery

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a transformative surgical procedure designed to reshape the upper arm by reducing excess skin and underlying fat. This procedure helps patients achieve a more toned and proportionate appearance, enhancing self-confidence and expanding fashion choices.

Who Are the Best Candidates?

Ideal candidates for an arm lift include:

• Adults with stable weight and minimal overall body fat
• Individuals with sagging or loose upper arm skin
• Healthy patients without medical conditions that impair healing
• Non-smokers with realistic expectations

Procedure Overview

Dr. Baker performs arm lift surgery by making strategic incisions on the inside of the upper arm. The length and pattern of incisions depend on the amount of excess skin and fat to be removed. During the procedure, underlying supportive tissues are tightened, localized fat is reduced, and excess skin is expertly trimmed.

Recovery and Results

Following an arm lift, patients can expect some initial swelling and bruising. Most individuals return to light activities within a few days, with full recovery occurring over several weeks. Results are long-lasting when maintained through stable weight and consistent fitness.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While arm lift surgery can dramatically improve body contours, patients should understand potential risks such as scarring, changes in skin sensation, and the possibility of asymmetrical results. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Baker will address individual concerns and expectations.
