ARM LIFT ALBUQUERQUE, NM | DR. MIGUEL L. GALLEGOS, MD

UNDERSTANDING ARM LIFT SURGERY

Excess skin and loss of skin elasticity are common challenges for
individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or aging. At
Hermosa Plastic Surgery, arm lift surgery (brachioplasty) offers a
comprehensive solution for patients seeking to improve their upper arm
contours.

WHAT IS AN ARM LIFT?

An arm lift is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and
fat from the upper arms, creating a more toned and youthful
appearance. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Miguel Gallegos
specializes in advanced fat removal and skin tightening techniques
specifically tailored to each patient's unique needs.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ARM LIFT SURGERY

 	* Individuals with loose, hanging skin on upper arms
	* Patients at or near their goal weight
	* Non-smokers in good overall health
	* Those with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

BENEFITS OF ARM LIFT SURGERY

 	* Removal of excess skin and tissues
	* Enhanced arm and shoulder mobility
	* Improved body contour
	* Increased confidence in personal appearance

SURGICAL PROCEDURE

Dr. Gallegos performs arm lift surgery under general anesthesia,
typically in an outpatient facility. The procedure involves carefully
removing excess skin from the elbow to the armpit, potentially
incorporating liposuction to achieve optimal results. Incisions are
strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Recovery typically takes approximately two weeks, with patients
advised to follow post-operative instructions carefully. Compression
garments and limited physical activity are crucial during the initial
healing period. Patients can expect gradual improvement in arm
contours over subsequent months.

COMBINING PROCEDURES

Arm lift surgery can be combined with other body contouring procedures
such as liposuction, tummy tuck, or breast lift, depending on
individual patient goals and Dr. Gallegos' professional assessment.

ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY) ALBUQUERQUE, NM | KUNKEL PLASTIC SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING BRACHIOPLASTY IN ALBUQUERQUE

Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a specialized
surgical procedure designed to reshape and improve the appearance of
the upper arms. This procedure removes excess skin and fat, helping
patients achieve more defined and aesthetically pleasing arm contours.

WHAT IS BRACHIOPLASTY?

Brachioplasty is a surgical intervention that targets loose or sagging
skin in the upper arm region. The procedure is suitable for both men
and women who have experienced significant weight loss, aging, or
genetic predisposition to excess arm skin. Patients seeking improved
arm appearance can benefit from this transformative surgical
technique.

BRACHIOPLASTY PROCEDURE DETAILS

Kunkel Plastic Surgery performs brachioplasty under general anesthesia
with a comprehensive approach tailored to individual patient anatomy.
The surgical technique may include:

 	* Liposuction to remove excess fat
	* Skin excision to eliminate loose skin
	* Combination techniques for optimal results

SURGICAL APPROACH AND INCISION TECHNIQUE

Dr. Ryan Kunkel strategically places incisions along the inner arm,
extending from the armpit to just above the elbow. Through these
carefully planned incisions, excess skin and fat are precisely
removed. The remaining skin is then carefully repositioned and sutured
to create a smoother, more contoured arm appearance.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Following brachioplasty, patients can anticipate a recovery period
characterized by temporary bruising, swelling, and mild discomfort.
Most patients return to work within one to two weeks, with complete
healing progressing over several months. Wearing a compression garment
during recovery helps support the arms and optimize healing.

LONG-TERM RESULTS AND MAINTENANCE

Brachioplasty results are typically long-lasting when patients
maintain a stable weight and follow post-operative care instructions.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and consistent weight helps preserve
the enhanced arm contours achieved through the procedure.
