Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) in Fort Worth, TX

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

The upper arms naturally lose shape and become flabby due to aging or significant weight loss. Arm lift surgery, medically known as brachioplasty, is designed to resolve these aesthetic concerns by reducing excess fat and skin in the upper arms, creating a firmer and sleeker appearance.

Benefits of Arm Lift Procedure

• Reduce excess fat and skin between underarm and elbow
• Tighten and contour arm muscles
• Achieve more proportionate arm aesthetics

Surgical Technique

During brachioplasty, an incision is strategically placed on the inner arm. The length of the incision varies depending on the amount of skin requiring removal. By carefully removing excess skin and stubborn fat, Dr. Kurkjian helps patients achieve smoother, better-toned arms.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift

Optimal arm lift candidates are healthy individuals experiencing significant upper arm skin laxity. The best results are achieved by patients who have maintained a stable weight for several months prior to surgery.

Consultation Process

During the initial consultation, Dr. Kurkjian thoroughly evaluates your medical history, skin texture, elasticity, fat distribution, and muscle tone. Based on this comprehensive assessment, a personalized treatment plan is developed to meet your specific aesthetic goals.

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgery, patients may experience temporary tightness and swelling in the upper arms. Dressings and compression garments help manage swelling and support healing. Discomfort is typically mild and can be managed with prescribed medications.

Complementary Procedures

Arm lift surgery can be combined with other body contouring procedures such as liposuction, tummy tuck, or breast surgeries for comprehensive aesthetic enhancement.
