Understanding Arm Lift Surgery
Aging and significant weight changes can lead to reduced skin elasticity in the upper arms, creating a sagging or "bat wing" appearance. An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to address these aesthetic concerns by removing excess skin and fat while tightening the underlying tissue structure.
Surgical Procedure Details
During an arm lift procedure, Dr. Kuy strategically places an incision along the inner arm in the least conspicuous location. This approach allows precise access to the affected tissue while minimizing visible scarring. The procedure is performed under twilight anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.
Procedure Highlights
- Removes excess skin and fat from upper arms
- Tightens remaining skin for improved contour
- Strategically placed incisions to minimize scarring
- Performed under twilight anesthesia
Recovery and Aftercare
Following the arm lift procedure, patients will wear a specialized compression garment to reduce swelling and support the new arm contours. The initial recovery period typically spans five to seven days, with full healing and final results developing over several weeks.
Recovery Guidelines
- Compression garment worn to minimize swelling
- Initial recovery: 5-7 days
- Strenuous exercise restricted for four weeks post-surgery
- Follow all post-operative instructions carefully
