Arm Lift
The Benefits of Brachioplasty
- Eliminating Excess Skin: After weight fluctuations or aging, loose upper arm skin can be stubborn to exercise. Brachioplasty removes this excess skin, creating a smoother contour.
- Boosting Confidence: Many patients report increased confidence after the procedure, enjoying wearing short sleeves or sleeveless garments without feeling self-conscious.
- Enhanced Comfort: In addition to aesthetic improvements, Brachioplasty can reduce irritation caused by loose skin rubbing against the body, especially during physical activities.
By offering customized treatments based on individual needs, Grossman Capraro Plastic Surgery ensures patients achieve natural and comfortable results.
Understanding the Brachioplasty Procedure
The surgery takes about two to three hours, depending on the extent of the surgery. It consists of the following steps:
- Anesthesia: General anesthesia is administered for patients’ comfort during the procedure.
- Incision Placement: The surgeon may make an incision from the underarm to the elbow along the inner side of the upper arm, depending on the amount of skin removal needed.
- Skin and Tissue Removal: The excess skin is trimmed, and underlying tissue may be tightened to create a smoother, firmer arm contour.
- Suturing: After the desired reshaping, the incisions are carefully sutured.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Brachioplasty?
Brachioplasty is recommended for individuals who:
- If you have loose or sagging skin on the upper arms that doesn’t respond to exercises or diet.
- Are in generally good health and don’t have conditions that could impair healing.
- It is important to maintain a stable weight, as significant weight fluctuations can impact the outcome.
- Have realistic expectations about the surgery and are aware of potential scarring.
For those unsure whether Brachioplasty is right for them, Grossman Capraro Plastic Surgery offers consultations to assess candidacy and discuss personalized treatment options.
Pre- and Post-Operative Care for Brachioplasty
Ensuring a smooth and successful outcome from Brachioplasty requires attention to pre-and post-operative care:
Before Surgery
- Certain medications may need to be stopped, such as blood thinners or anti-inflammatory drugs, for healing to take place.
- There is a need to quit smoking if you plan to alleviate wound complications and improve wound healing.
- Fasting guidelines and post-operative assistance will be discussed with the surgeon in detail during the preoperative visit.
After Surgery
- Wearing compression garments can help minimize swelling, as well as aid in quick and proper healing.
- Swelling and bruising are common in the first few weeks, but these symptoms gradually subside.
- A patient with a mild injury can resume light activity within two weeks, but physically exerting activities need to be avoided for four to six weeks after the injury.
- To make sure optimal results, the surgeon will schedule regular follow-up appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to see the final results of Brachioplasty?
After the procedure, most patients notice a significant improvement in the contour of their arms, but their final results may not be visible for several months after the swelling subsides.
Will there be visible scars after Brachioplasty?
While some scarring is inevitable, the incisions are strategically placed to minimize visibility. The scars typically fade over time with proper care, and the Grossman Capraro Plastic Surgery team provides post-surgical advice to help reduce scarring.
What is the duration of results from Brachioplasty?
The results of Brachioplasty can be long-lasting, especially if patients maintain a stable weight. However, natural aging processes will continue, affecting skin elasticity over time.
