Brachioplasty (Arm Reduction Surgery)

This surgery may be performed to remove excess tissue and reduce the circumference of the upper arm. Surgical correction depends on the amount of extra skin and how loose the supporting tissues have become. Extra skin is removed from incisions along the inner arm. The incision must be placed where the tissue can be best tightened but the incision must also be well hidden.

Anesthesia and Surgery Facility

General anesthesia is the most common approach. This is routinely an outpatient procedure.
Operative time is approximately 2 hours.

Side Effects

There is expected temporary discomfort, swelling, and bruising.

Recovery

Patients may return to work two weeks after surgery. But strenuous activity maybe limited to four weeks.

Duration of Results

Permanent.

Duration of Results

Abdominoplasty provides long-lasting results. Unless you gain or lose a significant amount of weight, you can expect to retain your new shape for many years. Over time, aging and gravity may cause your skin to become somewhat looser. If this occurs, the surgeon may suggest an additional, minor procedure for restoring a more youthful, abdominal contour.
