Who is a good candidate for brachioplasty?
Good candidates for brachioplasty are individuals in good overall health who have excess skin or fat on their upper arms, typically after weight loss or due to aging. It’s important to have realistic expectations about the results and be non-smokers for optimal healing.
How is the surgery performed?
Brachioplasty is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes an incision along the inside or back of the arm to remove excess skin and fat. The remaining skin is then tightened and sutured. The length of the incision will vary based on the amount of skin and fat being removed.
What type of anesthesia is used for a Brachioplasty?
Brachioplasty is performed under epidural anesthesia, which numbs the lower part of your body while keeping you awake and comfortable throughout the procedure.
How long does a Brachioplasty take?
The surgery takes approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, although the exact time may vary depending on the patient’s individual case.
What is the recovery time like?
Recovery time varies by individual but typically takes 1-2 weeks of rest before you can return to normal activities. Full recovery may take 4-6 weeks, during which time you should avoid strenuous activities. Swelling and bruising are common but gradually subside.
How long do the results last?
The results of brachioplasty are long-lasting, provided you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Significant weight fluctuations can affect the outcome, so it’s essential to keep a stable weight after surgery.
How to prepare for your procedure?
Preparing for your arm lift surgery is a crucial step in ensuring a smooth and successful procedure. Proper preparation helps minimize risks and promotes a faster recovery. Follow these essential steps to get ready for your surgery:
