Brachioplasty
in Rogers, Bentonville, Fayetteville, Springdale Arkansas
An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that reshapes the under portion of the upper arm from the underarm region to the elbow. Fluctuations in weight, growing older and heredity can cause your upper arms to have a drooping, sagging appearance. This is a condition that cannot be corrected through exercise. Arm lift surgery may be right for you if the underside of your upper arms are sagging or appear loose and full due to excess skin and fat.
What can be treated with an arm lift?
- Reduces excess sagging skin that droops downward
- Tightens and smoothes the underlying supportive tissue that defines the shape of the upper arm
- Reduces localized pockets of fat in the upper arm region
What can I expect from an arm lift consultation?
It is important for your consultation that you are prepared to discuss your medical history, which may include medical conditions, allergies, previous surgeries, and current medications. If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease, this procedure may not be ideal for you. Our doctor will also examine factors for evaluation, including how much you currently weigh and whether you’re planning on losing or gaining more weight in the near future.
