Desired Beauty in Los Angeles specializes in a wide array of cosmetic procedures, one of which is arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty. Under the expertise of board-certified cosmetic surgeon Dr. Farzin Kerendian, we strive to help you achieve a more youthful and contoured arm appearance. In doing so, we aim to restore your self-confidence, which may have been compromised due to sagging skin or disproportionate arm structure.
Why Patients Seek Brachioplasty
Over time, the effects of aging, substantial weight loss, and even genetics can lead to sagging or drooping skin in the upper arms, often referred to as “bat wings.” In some cases, even rigorous exercise and diet cannot correct this issue. When these concerns interfere with your clothing choices or self-esteem, an arm lift becomes more than a cosmetic choice; it becomes a pathway to restored confidence and comfort.
- Improved Aesthetic Appeal: Brachioplasty can remove excess skin and fat, giving your arms a more toned and proportionate appearance.
- Enhanced Comfort: Loose and sagging skin can cause discomfort or chafing, especially during physical activity. An arm lift can alleviate these issues.
Beverly Hills Arm Lift Surgery With Liposuction
The arm lift procedure is typically an outpatient surgery, lasting about two to three hours. General anesthesia is commonly used to ensure a pain-free experience. During the surgery, Dr. Kerendian makes an incision either on the inside or back of your arm. The length and pattern of the incision depend on the amount and location of the excess skin to be removed. Liposuction may also be employed in conjunction with brachioplasty to remove excess fat.
Once the procedure is complete, your incisions will be closed with sutures and your arms will be wrapped in bandages. These bandages may be replaced by a compression garment that will need to be worn for a few weeks to minimize swelling and support your new arm contours.
Recovery and Post-Operative Care
The initial recovery period usually lasts two to three weeks. Here’s what you can expect:
- Mild to moderate pain, controlled through prescribed medication
- Temporary swelling and bruising, which will gradually subside
- Limited arm mobility, especially in the first week, which improves as healing progresses
It is imperative to follow all the post-operative instructions provided by Dr. Kerendian, including taking prescribed medications, refraining from strenuous activities, and attending follow-up appointments for monitoring and removal of sutures. Usually, patients can resume normal activities, including exercise, after a month or six weeks, depending on individual healing progress.
