Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Dallas

Frequently seen after weight loss or as part of the aging process, excess skin of the upper arm can be treated with a brachioplasty (arm lift).  A brachioplasty removes this excess skin improving the shape of the arm.  Dr Weider performs a traditional arm lift, which involves an incision from the axilla (arm pit) to the elbow, as well as a short scar technique in which the incision is limited to the arm pit area.  During your consultation, Dr. Weider will discuss the benefits of each technique and help you chose the one that is best for you.

Procedure and Recovery:

Arm lifts are typically performed under general anesthesia and are sometimes done in conjunction with additional procedures.  After surgery, Dr. Weider will fit you with a compression garment that will help to shape the arm and remove swelling.  Most patients are asked to wear these compression sleeves for three to four weeks.  Typically, seven to ten days are needed for initial recovery, and resumption of all activities takes about a month.
