Brachioplasty

An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is one of the best ways to reduce excess skin and fatty tissue from the upper arm. Patients will often refer to these as “bat wings”. The excess skin that hangs when the arms are held away from the body is frequently a concern for patients that we see in our practice. Brachioplasty is a common procedure that Dr. Daniel Kolder performs for patients following massive weight loss who are near their goal weight.

Your Arm Lift Consultation

During your consultation at our Camarillo or Santa Barbara office, Dr. Kolder will analyze the condition of your arms to determine if an arm lift is the best surgery for you. You will be able to ask any questions you may have about the arm lift procedure. Dr. Kolder will go over the details of the arm lift, including surgery steps, benefits, and the arm lift recovery. You will also be able to view brachioplasty before and after photographs.

The Arm Lift Procedure

Your arm lift will be performed under general anesthesia at our own Ambulatory Surgery Center. The surgery consists of a horizontal incision made under your arm from near the elbow to armpit. The underlying muscles and tissue are tightened and excess skin is removed to get rid of any sagging.

Recovering from an Arm Lift

Recovery time varies from patient to patient, but you should expect to take about 2 to 4 weeks off from work after your arm lift. You will feel well enough to walk around within a day or two, but exercise and any lifting will need to be avoided for some time. Dr. Kolder will give you detailed care instructions following your arm lift procedure

Results

Although there will be a permanent scar, it will fade and flatten over time and should be hardly noticeable on the underside of your arm. Patients are often so happy to be rid of the excess skin, that the faint scar is a welcome trade-off. Once your skin is fully healed, your arms will appear tighter, well-toned, and more youthful than before your procedure.
