Summer is calling, and so are the sleeveless dresses and tank tops. Are you ready to bare your arms? Your trip to the bikini shop may leave you feeling anxious and disappointed by the unsightly flab of loose skin drooping from the upper arms. Men may also feel less confident going shirtless on the beach due to unattractive biceps and arms.
However, if you think you are stuck with the sagging skin and the jiggling fat, you are wrong! Dr. Newman can do what endless push-ups and curls cannot. Thanks to arm lift (brachioplasty) in Temecula, you can now step out a new you this summer with beautiful arms accentuated by your favorite tube tops and strapless dresses.
What’s Arm Lift in Surgery?
This is a surgical procedure which eliminates the sagging skin on the upper arms, usually caused by weight loss and aging. If you were once overweight, heavy arms caused your skin to stretch in order to accommodate the increased volume. But after weight loss, the skin fails to regain its elasticity, causing it to hang like bat wings when you raise, wave or spread out your arms. The only solution to get rid of this extra skin and fat is by having an arm lift.
When you visit Dr. Newman’s exclusive Plastic Surgery Center of Temecula and La Jolla, he will evaluate your body and discuss with you everything that is involved in an arm lift. A Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Newman has helped countless patients achieve slender, youthful arms in his 25 years of practice.
Procedure
A brachioplasty takes around two hours and is done under general anesthesia, on an outpatient basis. For the extra skin and fat to be removed, an incision is usually made from the elbow area to the armpit. This enables Dr. Newman to redrape the skin and tighten up the underlying tissue. The incisions are then closed and a dressing placed around the arms. You may be required to wear a light compression garment for a few days. The result will be a better looking upper arm with improved contouring.
Recovery
Most patients will experience some slight bruising and swelling for a few days after surgery. Keeping the arms elevated will increase comfort. While patients can return to normal activity in 1-3 weeks, heavy lifting must be avoided for up to six weeks after surgery. Dr. Newman always places the incision in the most inconspicuous area, usually around the inner arm towards the back. However, the scarring will remain visible, though it fades over time.
