The Brachioplasty Procedure

The excess skin on the upper arm is removed, from armpit to the elbows. For some patients, the incisions are extended into the armpit to resolve excess skin and fat in the area, or they may be extended below the elbow to help refine the lower arm area. Occasionally a minimal-incision brachioplasty can be used for patients who have minimal upper arm excess skin. The incision for this procedure is placed in the axilla (armpit).

Liposuction is occasionally used in this procedure to remove fatty deposits.
All sutures are absorbable. The area is bandaged during healing.
Dr. Egrari uses a novel technique that does not require drains.
A special surgical garment is provided for support and healing.
This outpatient operation is done under general anesthesia.

Recovery After An Arm Lift

Expect minimal discomfort which can be controlled by prescription pain medication for the first few days.
Any swelling resolves in about one month.
Most arm lift patients take one week off work and resume exercise in four to six weeks.
Full results are achieved in about three months.

Our post-operative scar management will be in full force with this operation, as the scar is one of the limitations of this operation. Dr. Egrari has pioneered various techniques to improve the appearance of this scar. This includes placement of skin bridges that reduce the tension of the scar.
