What is an Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)?
An Arm Lift is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. It is ideal for individuals who experience loose or sagging skin, often due to aging, weight loss, or genetics.
Types of Arm Lift Procedures
- Traditional Arm Lift: Removes excess skin and fat along the upper arm using an incision from the armpit to the elbow.
- Mini Arm Lift: A less invasive option with a smaller incision, suitable for mild sagging.
- Liposuction-Assisted Arm Lift: Combines liposuction with skin tightening for improved contour.
Who is a Good Candidate for an Arm Lift?
You may be a good candidate for an Arm Lift in Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, and surrounding areas if you:
- Have loose, sagging skin on your upper arms.
- Experience excess fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise.
- Are in good general health and have realistic expectations.
- Have recently undergone significant weight loss.
How the Arm Lift Procedure Works
An Arm Lift is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 1.5 to 3 hours. Here’s what to expect:
- Consultation & Customization
- Dr. Mirrafati will assess your arms, skin quality, and goals.
- A personalized surgical plan will be created for optimal results.
- The Surgery
- Incisions are made along the inner arm to minimize visible scarring.
- Excess skin and fat are removed.
- If needed, liposuction is performed to refine the contour.
- The skin is tightened, and sutures are placed for a smooth, toned result.
- In certain cases, the underlying muscles are also tightened or plicated. This is something that is not done in most other places. Dr. Mirrafati will determine if the muscle also need to be tightened.
- Immediate Results & Recovery
- Results are visible immediately, though some swelling will occur.
- Compression garments help reduce swelling and promote healing.
Recovery & Aftercare
Most patients can return to normal activities within 2-4 weeks, with full healing taking a few months.
Recovery Timeline:
- First Week: Swelling, mild discomfort, and restricted arm movement.
- 2-4 Weeks: Return to light activities and work.
- 4-6 Weeks: Resume exercise and more strenuous activities.
- 3-6 Months: Final results become more apparent as swelling subsides.
Post-Surgery Care Tips:
- Wear a compression garment to aid healing.
- Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous arm movements.
- Follow all post-op instructions provided by Dr. Mirrafati.
Attend follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing.
