Arm Lift in Reston, UT | Erica Anderson, MD, FACS

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and contour the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. This transformative treatment addresses common concerns like "batwings" and helps patients achieve more toned, youthful-looking arms.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift

• Individuals with hanging, loose, or excess skin along the upper arm
• Patients who have achieved a stable, ideal weight
• Non-smokers in overall good health
• Those with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Arm Lift Techniques

The Naderi Center offers multiple arm lift techniques tailored to individual patient needs:

• Liposuction of the Arms
• Hidden/Minimal Incision Brachioplasty
• Traditional Brachioplasty
• Extended Brachioplasty
• Crescent Brachioplasty

Procedure Details

The arm lift procedure typically involves general anesthesia and can take two to three hours. Surgeons create strategic incisions to remove excess skin and fat, then tighten the remaining tissue to create a smoother, more contoured arm appearance.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from an arm lift usually takes 2-4 weeks. Patients can expect some initial swelling and bruising, with gradual improvement in arm contour over several months. Wearing a compression garment and following post-operative instructions are crucial for optimal healing.

Potential Risks and Considerations

• Temporary changes in skin sensation
• Potential scarring
• Risk of infection
• Asymmetry

Cost Considerations

Arm lift costs can vary based on individual surgical requirements. Factors influencing price include surgeon's fees, anesthesia, facility costs, and specific techniques used.
