Patient Examples

 Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) in Indiana

Upper arm skin looseness can develop with weight fluctuation. This excess skin may be removed with incisions resulting on the inner aspect of the upper arm. If fat deposits exist, they may be treated with liposuction. Fat deposits of the inner and outer aspects of the upper arm may be treated with liposuction alone if skin tone is good. Many patients require both fat removal with liposuction and excess skin excision, so combination arm lift and upper arm liposuction may be performed in these instances. The length of the inner arm incision with arm lift surgery varies directly with the degree of skin looseness, and amount of skin of the inner arm that needs to be removed for adequate skin tightening. After arm lift with liposuction, or upper arm liposuction alone, a long sleeve compression garment is worn for two or three weeks postoperatively.
