Brachioplasty Dallas, TX | Todd A. Pollock, MD, FACS

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery in Dallas

Arm lift surgery, medically known as brachioplasty, is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. Typically performed on patients who have experienced significant weight loss or skin elasticity changes, this procedure helps restore arm shape and proportion.

Key Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

• Improves arm contour and provides enhanced muscle definition
• Restores proportionality to arms relative to body shape
• Increases range of motion by removing restrictive excess skin
• Eliminates skin chafing and chronic rash issues
• Boosts patient confidence and self-esteem

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift

Perfect candidates for an arm lift include men and women with significant upper arm skin laxity caused by substantial weight loss, weight fluctuations, or reduced skin elasticity due to aging or genetics. Candidates should be non-smokers at a stable, healthy weight with no medical complications that could impact surgical recovery.

Arm Lift Procedure Details

The arm lift is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Pollock carefully makes an incision extending from the armpit to the elbow, removing excess skin and fat. In some cases, liposuction techniques may be used to further refine arm contours.

Recovery and Results

Recovery typically requires approximately one week off work. Patients will wear a compression garment to manage swelling and must avoid lifting heavy objects during initial healing. Full results become visible 3-6 months post-surgery, with scars gradually fading over time.
