Skip to content Brachioplasty, also known as an arm lift, is a cosmetic procedure tailored to remove sagging skin and excess fat from the upper arms, typically from the underarm area to the elbow. This treatment helps to reshape the upper arms, providing a more toned and contoured appearance. During the procedure, the surgeon will make an incision along the inside of the arm, possibly extending down to the elbow, depending on the amount of correction needed. Excess skin is then excised, and in some cases, liposuction might be used to eliminate excess fat. The skin is then tightened and sutured back into place, creating a smoother, more defined arm contour.
An Arm Lift in Plano, TX and Desoto, TX, is appropriate for those who have experienced significant weight loss resulting in excess underarm skin or those who naturally carry excess fat in this area and have not responded to other treatments. Results from the procedure can be seen almost immediately, but the full benefits will become more apparent as swelling and bruising decrease over time. The improvements are generally long-lasting, provided that patients maintain a stable weight and remain committed to a healthy lifestyle. For those considering Brachioplasty and looking to achieve firmer, more attractive arms, we encourage you to schedule a consultation at Noble Cosmetic Surgery in Plano, TX and Desoto, TX to explore how this procedure can meet your aesthetic goals.
Ideal candidates for a Brachioplasty are adults who have pronounced upper arm skin laxity, are at a healthy weight, do not smoke, and have reasonable expectations about the outcome of the surgery.
Initial improvements are noticeable immediately following the procedure, but the final results will take several months as the swelling decreases and the tissues heal.
The results from a Brachioplasty are typically long-lasting. Significant changes in weight can alter the outcomes, so maintaining a stable weight is recommended to preserve the surgical benefits.
Patients generally experience some downtime, requiring rest and limited movement to aid in the healing process. Common side effects include swelling, bruising, and soreness that can be managed with medication.
Before Brachioplasty, patients should avoid medications that increase bleeding and stop smoking to improve recovery. Post-surgery, it’s crucial to follow all care instructions, including wearing compression garments and managing activity levels to ensure optimal healing.
During a Brachioplasty, you will receive anesthesia to ensure comfort. The surgeon will then make incisions, remove lax skin and excess fat, and tighten the remaining skin to reshape the contour of your upper arms. The incisions are then closed with sutures, and the area is bandaged.
