Pasadena Brachioplasty – Armlift
Loose, sagging skin is often the result of aging or dramatic weight loss. The excess skin can be removed and arms restored to a more youthful appearance with an arm lift or brachioplasty. Luckily for those that find this loose extra skin bothersome, there are options.
Pasadena Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. John Gross can help create arms that appear more fit and slender. An arm lift, is a surgical procedure to remove excess fat and skin of the upper arm. In some cases, this extra skin is merely the result of natural aging or one’s genetic makeup. For some, the choice to under go brachioplasty is a step towards restoring self confidence.
The procedure is done under general anesthesia and lasts approximately 3 hours. If needed liposuction can be performed in conjunction with the arm lift for optimal results. The incision is somewhat conspicuous. The length of the incision will depend on the amount of skin and fat needing to be removed. General recovery is 10 to 14 days with bruising and swelling subsiding in 3 to 4 weeks. To achieve the best possible recover, it is important to follow the directions given to you by Pasadena plastic surgeon Dr. Gross.
A consultation is the first step in determining if an arm lift will provide the results you are looking for. To schedule a consultation with Dr. Gross, contact our Pasadena plastic surgery office.
