 

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.
