Achieve toned, sculpted arms with an arm lift surgery in Scottsdale
Sagging or loose skin, either caused by aging or significant weight loss, impacts many of us. Exercise and diet are often not enough to help eliminate the excess skin and fat that may appear. This leaves many of us feeling self-conscious about our appearance. Sagging skin in the arms can be one of the most aggravating aspects of our appearance. If you’re looking to restore firm, youthful-looking arms, arm lift surgery, or brachioplasty, can be the solution you’ve been searching for.
At Berardi Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale, Dr. Joseph Berardi specializes in arm lift surgery to help you achieve your goal of a more sculpted and defined arm appearance. Whether you’re struggling with loose skin, fat deposits, or the effects of aging, brachioplasty can help you feel more confident in sleeveless tops and swimsuits once again.
Arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms. This procedure tightens and reshapes the area, resulting in a smoother and more toned appearance. Brachioplasty is particularly effective if you have experienced weight loss or aging, which can lead to sagging skin in the arms that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise alone.
Dr. Berardi specializes in the arm lift (brachioplasty procedure) and takes pride in providing results that are natural-looking and complement your overall body shape. The procedure typically involves a discreet incision on the underside of the arm, where excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining skin is tightened for a firm, defined look.
As an arm lift patient, you should expect to experience swelling, bruising, and minor discomfort for a few days after surgery. Some scarring will occur, but it will diminish over time.
Dr. Berardi will provide you with a comprehensive list of post-operative instructions, including keeping the arm elevated and wearing a compression garment. Most patients return to work within two weeks after the procedure, but you should be careful to avoid any heavy lifting for at least six weeks after surgery.
Arm lift surgery is excellent for individuals who have excess skin or fat in their upper arms that they may have had a hard time getting rid of through diet or exercise. If you’ve lost a significant amount of weight or if you’re seeing signs of aging, a brachioplasty can help you get rid of the hanging or loose skin and restore a firmer, more youthful contour to your arms.
Candidates for arm lift surgery should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations for their results. It’s important to understand that while an arm lift can provide significant improvements to your appearance, it won’t stop the natural aging process. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle can help you enjoy your results for years to come.
During a pre-surgery consultation, Dr. Berardi will review your health history, motivations for surgery, and cosmetic goals to determine if reducing your arm fat is right for you.
Your liposuction will most likely be performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning you will be able to return home after surgery. If you are undergoing large-volume liposuction, meaning a substantial amount of fat is being removed, you may be required to stay overnight in our surgical facility. You should expect to experience some mild swelling and discomfort in the days after your procedure. Dr. Berardi will provide you with thorough post-operative instructions. You will be asked to wear a compression garment on the treated area in order to preserve the results of surgery and facilitate the healing process. You will also be instructed to engage in light activity, such as walking, to promote circulation. Most Scottsdale / Phoenix liposuction patients are able to return to work and normal activities within one week. Other, more strenuous activities and exercise should be resumed under the guidance of Dr. Berardi. After the recovery period, many patients find that they are happier and more confident in their new, trimmer body.
