STEP-BY-STEP BRACHIOPLASTY
What is brachioplasty?
A surgical procedure to improve arm contour and firmness in cases of extreme inner arm sagging
What does the arm lift involve?
Typically, if there is also a buildup of fat, liposuction of the area is performed before removing excess skin from the inner arm. This technique requires an incision that, in mild cases, is hidden in the armpit. However, in more severe cases, the scar runs along the midline of the inner arm. If there is extreme sagging with little excess fat, skin correction can be performed without prior liposuction.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ARM LIFT POSTOPERATIVE PERIOD
Is it normal for swelling and bruising to occur after brachioplasty?
It is a completely normal procedure and can last up to a month after the intervention.
How should I sleep during the first few days after a brachial lift?
The postoperative period isn’t painful, although it can be a bit uncomfortable for the first few days. For the first few days, it’s recommended that you sleep with a pillow that allows you to elevate your arms up to 45°.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AFTER A BRACHIOPLASTY
What are the results after a brachioplasty?
An arm lift restores a well-defined arm, without excess skin and correcting that uncomfortable feeling that occurs on the inner side of the arm.
It should be noted that in people with very lax skin and who have never exercised, the skin may appear somewhat sagging over time. However, it is unlikely to return to the condition prior to brachioplasty surgery.
When will I see final results after an arm lift?
Starting on the seventh day after your brachial lift, you’ll notice the swelling gradually disappearing. You’ll begin to see the results of the procedure after a month, although it won’t be until six months later that you’ll be able to fully appreciate the final result.
WHAT IS THE PRICE OF A BRACHIOPLASTY?
The price of an arm lift can vary depending on the case, and whether it’s combined with other treatments. Therefore, an initial visit is very important to assess each patient’s case, prepare a personalized quote, and recommend the best treatment for them.
