What is Brachioplasty?

Brachioplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to address excess skin and fat in the upper arms. It is typically performed on individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or have loose and sagging skin in that area. During the procedure, an incision is made along the inner part of the arm which can extend from the elbow or be limited to only the arm pit depending on the patient. Excess skin and fat are removed and the remaining tissues are tightened and reshaped to create a more toned and contoured appearance. Often times, Dr. Chahin uses the option of Vaser ultrasonic liposuction technology and Renuvion Helium Plasma technology to help tighten the skin and reduce the visible scar pattern.

What is the process involved?

The procedure begins with the administration of anesthesia to ensure the patient’s comfort and pain management during the surgery. The length and pattern of the incision depend on the amount of excess skin to be removed and the specific technique employed. Dr. Chahin carefully removes excess skin and fat from the upper arm through a combination of excision (cutting away excess skin) and liposuction (removing excess fat with a cannula and vacuum-like device). Tissues in the upper arm may be tightened to create a more toned and defined appearance. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, meaning the patient can go home on the same day as the surgery.

Benefits of Brachioplasty

Removal of Excess Skin

Brachioplasty effectively removes excess skin that can be a result of weight loss, aging, or genetics. This results in tighter and firmer arms, eliminating sagging or drooping skin.

Enhanced Arm Contour

The procedure not only removes excess skin but also addresses stubborn fat deposits in the upper arms. By removing this excess fat, brachioplasty can create a more sculpted and contoured appearance.

Improved Arm Proportions

Brachioplasty can help achieve a better balance and proportion between the arms and the rest of the body. It can create a more harmonious silhouette and enhance overall body symmetry.

Increased Confidence

Sagging or flabby arms can cause self-consciousness and limit clothing choices. Brachioplasty can boost self-esteem by providing patients with more toned and aesthetically pleasing arms, allowing them to feel more confident and comfortable in their appearance.

Long-lasting Results

The results of brachioplasty are generally long-lasting, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise and weight management. While aging and natural changes in the body will continue over time, the improvements achieved through brachioplasty can be significant and enduring.

PRE-OPERATIVE PREPARATION
Once you have decided to proceed with the brachioplasty, you will schedule a pre-operative appointment.

Generally, brachioplasty takes around 3-5 hours to complete. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure.

POST OPERATIVE FOLLOW-UP

Follow-up appointments are crucial for monitoring your healing progress and ensuring the best possible outcome. Dr. Chahin will schedule several appointments during the first few weeks after the surgery to assess your recovery, remove any sutures or drains, and address any concerns you may have.
