Sometimes diet and exercise are simply not enough to achieve the body you desire. Genetics, drastic changes in weight, pregnancy, aging, and environmental exposure can cause a loss of elasticity in your arms and other area of the body. If you are dissatisfied with the state of your arms, and you feel they look disproportionate and flabby, an arm lift in Fort Worth may be perfect for you.
When performed by one of our top body sculpting surgeons, this procedure can beautifully restore the natural shape and smoothness of the arms. Not only will you love your new look, you will feel a boost in self-esteem and have the confidence to wear all your favorite clothes again.
You are an excellent candidate for an arm lift (brachioplasty) in Fort Worth if you are in good mental and physical health with a stable BMI. This is important because any additional weight loss will impact your beautiful arm lift results, possibly resulting in the need for another procedure.
The arm lift is ideal if you do not have any chronic illnesses, are a non-smoker, and can commit to a healthy diet and lifestyle following your surgery.
During your initial consultation with one of our plastic surgeons, we will review your complete medical history. In order to ensure as smooth a procedure as possible, we will recommend lifestyle changes such as temporarily eliminating smoking, drinking, aspirin, or blood thinners prior to the procedure.
Our expert medical team will assess your needs and determine the best surgical strategy for your arm lift. One of our surgeons will thoroughly review the risks, downtime, and recovery so that you know exactly what to expect.
If you are deemed to be an unsuitable candidate for the arm lift procedure in Fort Worth, you may be eligible for one of our premium non-surgical body contouring treatments instead. Our medical team will take care to review all available options to help you achieve your desired goals during the initial consultation.
As with any surgical procedure, the arm lift begins with anesthesia administration so you are comfortable throughout the procedure. We will begin with targeted liposuction, which removes stubborn fat from the arms. This will be done through careful, precise incisions which will be small enough that no one will notice the scars.
After the excess fat is removed, additional skin will be strategically removed and tissue and skin are then carefully repositioned and gently sewn together with sutures. There are also three specific types of brachioplasty we could perform:
The surgeon makes an incision along the backside of your arm, which is larger than the other types but allows for a wholesale recontouring.
This incision occurs in the part of the armpit where hair grows, and stretches the skin toward it so you lose the unattractive flabbiness.
One incision is made in the crease of your armpit. Although the opening is tiny, we can provide a noticeable tightening of your arm skin.
All these options will result in trim, defined, and contoured arms and the procedure takes around three hours to complete.
For the first few weeks, avoid exercise or strenuous activity that overly exerts or extends your arms. To achieve optimal results, we also recommend that you:
Following these guidelines, as well as the directions of our medical team, should help you enjoy your beautiful results for years to come.
