Brachioplasty

Brachioplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure for anyone with excess skin in the arm area. Ideal candidates for this procedure are those who have undergone significant weight loss, have loose, sagging skin under the arms, or have arms that lack definition and firmness.

The aim of a brachioplasty is to reshape the arms for a more harmonious, firmer appearance. The procedure removes excess skin from the arms, tightening and reshaping the area. A brachioplasty can help patients feel more comfortable in their bodies, allowing them to wear fitted clothing and enjoy their favorite activities without feeling self-conscious about the appearance of their arms. However, as with any surgical procedure, it’s important to discuss with Dr.Guberman whether this procedure is right for your needs and aesthetic goals.

The multiple approaches

There are several methods for performing a brachioplasty, tailored to each patient’s needs and preferences. The main approaches include:

Classic brachioplasty

This method involves an incision along the arm, which removes excess skin to achieve a firmer appearance. This method is ideal for patients who have a large amount of loose, sagging skin under the arms.

Partial brachioplasty

This method involves a smaller incision, often located in the armpit, allowing less skin to be removed. This method is ideal for patients with moderate skin excess.

Lipo-brachioplasty

This method combines classic brachioplasty with liposuction to remove both excess skin and achieve firmer arms. This method is ideal for patients with excess fat in the arm area.

Inverted T Brachioplasty

This method involves an inverted T-shaped incision, which removes a large amount of skin to achieve firmer arms. This method is ideal for patients with excess skin and often associated with significant weight loss.

Dr. Guberman can suggest a set of techniques tailored to each patient’s needs and aesthetic goals, in order to achieve the best possible result.

Recovery

Recovery from cosmetic brachioplasty surgery varies with each patient and the type of procedure performed. In general, patients should expect a recovery period of several weeks, during which they should avoid strenuous physical activity and follow Dr.Guberman’s post-operative instructions.

During this period, patients may experience pain, swelling and bruising, which can be alleviated by medication prescribed by Dr.Guberman. Patients should also wear compression garments to help reduce swelling and facilitate healing. With proper care and sufficient rest, most patients can expect to recover fully and enjoy a firmer, more toned appearance to their arms.
