Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Loveland, CO | Front Range Plastic Surgery

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Weight fluctuations, aging, and heredity can cause significant changes in upper arm appearance, often resulting in loose, sagging skin that does not respond to fitness efforts. An arm lift, or brachioplasty, surgically addresses excess skin and fat in the upper arm region, creating a more toned and proportionate contour.

What is an Arm Lift?

Brachioplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the underside of the upper arm, extending from the underarm to the elbow. The primary goals include:

• Reducing excess sagging skin that droops when arms are extended
• Tightening underlying supportive tissue
• Removing localized fat deposits

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

Front Range Plastic Surgery considers patients suitable for arm lift surgery who meet the following criteria:

• Maintain a relatively stable weight
• Are in good overall health
• Do not smoke
• Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Procedure Details

During a brachioplasty, the plastic surgeon makes an incision along the inner arm. The length and pattern depend on the amount of excess skin and the patient's unique anatomy. Underlying tissues are tightened, excess skin is removed, and the arm is reshaped to create smoother, more defined contours.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial swelling and bruising following the procedure. Most individuals return to light activities within a few days, with complete healing occurring over several weeks. While scarring is inevitable, the dramatic improvement in arm appearance often outweighs this consideration.

Potential Risks and Considerations

As with any surgical procedure, arm lift surgery carries potential risks, including:

• Bleeding
• Infection
• Changes in skin sensation
• Scarring
