Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

The Center for Cosmetic Surgery performs brachioplasty, commonly known as arm lift surgery, to tuck and tighten unattractive upper arms. This procedure helps patients from metro Denver and Colorado Springs address sagging skin that hangs from the upper arms, reducing size and improving arm contours.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift

• Individuals with excessive, loose skin on upper arms
• Patients with skin resistant to diet and exercise
• Those seeking to reduce arm size and improve appearance

Arm Lift Procedure Details

The arm lift surgery involves a comprehensive approach:

• Power-assisted liposuction to reduce fat content
• Direct excision of excess skin and underlying fat
• Surgical reconstruction to tighten and contour arms

Alternative Options

For patients with thick arms but minimal skin laxity, liposuction can effectively remove fat without requiring extensive skin excision.

Surgical Approach

The procedure typically requires an incision along the inside of the upper arm, extending from the armpit towards the elbow. Surgeons aim to minimize incision length while effectively addressing skin excess.

Recovery and Expectations

Arm lift recovery involves wearing a compression garment for four weeks and gradual return to normal activities. Patients can typically:

• Discontinue pain medication after 2-3 days
• Return to non-strenuous work within one week
• Resume unrestricted arm use after six weeks

Anesthesia Considerations

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, administered by board-certified anesthesiologists to ensure patient comfort and safety.
