Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) San Antonio, TX

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin from the upper arm. This procedure is particularly beneficial for patients who have experienced significant weight loss and are left with loose, sagging skin that cannot be addressed through exercise or non-surgical treatments.

Arm Lift Procedure Details

During an arm lift, an incision is made along the back of the arm to remove excess skin and tighten the underlying tissues. The procedure can be modified to address loose skin in the armpit and lateral chest wall, a technique known as a torsoplasty.

Candidacy for Arm Lift Surgery

Ideal candidates for an arm lift typically include:

• Individuals who have lost massive amounts of weight
• Patients with excessive loose and sagging skin along the upper arms
• Those with limited skin elasticity

Customized Approach to Arm Contouring

Dr. Bindewald offers personalized treatment options based on individual patient needs:

• Liposuction for patients with minimal excess skin and good skin elasticity
• Combined skin excision and liposuction for patients with excess skin and fat
• Skin excision alone for patients with minimal excess fat

Comprehensive Body Contouring

Arm lift procedures can be strategically combined with other body contouring treatments to optimize recovery and minimize downtime. During the initial consultation, Dr. Bindewald works closely with patients to develop a personalized surgical plan that safely achieves their aesthetic goals.
