What is an arm lift?
The goal of arm lifting, which is also known as a brachioplasty, is to reduce and reshape the upper arm from the armpit to the elbow or some modification thereof. In the performance of this type of body contouring surgery, the incision(s) can be placed in the armpit if the excess is in the upper one third of the arm. If not, the incision is placed either on the inside of the arm or on the back of the arm depending on the patient's preference. However, Dr. English believes that arm lift surgery is indicated when liposuction of the arm has not produced the desired results. His reason for this mind set is to avoid the operative scars. If the patient's skin contracts following arm reduction with the removal of fat via liposuction, then the scars and potential numbness are averted.

Am I a good candidate for an arm lift?
At Dr. English's practice in Little Rock, AR ideal candidates for arm liposuction and/or arm lifting include healthy individuals with a normal body weight who have upper arm skin laxity or bat wing deformity.
How is an arm lift performed?
At the English Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Center in Little Rock, both arm lift and liposuction procedures are performed under general anesthesia. If liposuction is decided on, then a small hole is made just above the elbow, and the fat is removed. Following its removal, a compressive garment is worn for three to five days. If incisional surgery (brachioplasty) is warranted, the incisions are closed very meticulously and no dressing is applied when you go home.
What is recovery like?
Some of the tricks of the trade include wearing postoperative tape on the scars to prevent their widening as well as routine office visits that are included with your surgery to determine if a small amount of steroid should be injected into the scars to prevent their enlargement. Other techniques used at our Little Rock clinic to improve the quality of the healing scars are IPL and/or laser treatments. Regardless, our goal is to produce a smaller and tighter arm for you after your arm lift surgery at our Little Rock facility. The results of these procedures are impressive in a few weeks, but the overall results may be six to twelve months in coming.
