Arm Lift
The skin of the upper arm is particularly prone to sagging and can become loose with changes in weight and aging. The arm lift procedure, also known as Brachioplasty, has recently become a mainstream procedure for people interested in improving sagging and/or loose skin on the arms. Dr. Schulman offers this procedure through his gift of extensive technical and artistic expertise. An arm lift will achieve the following:
- Tighten the upper arm
- Remove excess and hanging skin of the upper arm
- Improve contour irregularities on the upper arms
During a consultation with Dr. Schulman, you will jointly discuss the features of your arms that are bothersome to you. You may learn about the technique that Dr. Schulman will use to perform the arm lift procedure. Some people may be candidates for a minimally invasive, short-scar arm lift procedure. You will learn about recovery involved with the arm lift procedure as well as the methods to reduce the appearance of scars.
Arm Lift Surgery
During the arm lift procedure, Dr. Schulman will make an incision from the underarm area and along the underside of the arm to the elbow. He may lift sagging skin, trim away excess skin, and suture skin into a normally contoured appearance. Liposuction may also be performed to help achieve a natural, youthful contour.
You will return home the same day and Dr. Schulman and his staff will help you throughout your recovery period. Most people return to nearly all normal activities, excluding heavy lifting, within a day or so following the procedure.
The results are visible immediately following the procedure and continue to improve over time. The results often last a lifetime with an improved appearance both clothed and unclothed. This procedure is a great option for the many people who dislike the appearance of their upper arms.
