What do you think about the appearance of the areas under your upper arms? If you like how they look, then good for you! If not, and you or someone else refer to them as “bat wings,” then it might be time to make a change by getting an arm lift. The medical term is brachioplasty; it’s a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the arms.
At the office of MOSA Surgery, our knowledgeable and experienced plastic surgeons are experts at firming up the area under your arms and erasing years from your appearance. You will receive personal attention and care throughout every step of the process. From your first consultation to your post-procedure care, you can trust that our team of board-certified specialists will ensure your comfort and desired outcomes. When your transformation is complete, you’ll be able to step out into the world with new confidence like never before.
Someone who has lost a lot of weight and was left with flabby underarms is a good candidate for this treatment. So is an individual who has good fundamental muscles tone and is at a weight considered ideal for his/her body frame. And as with all cosmetic and elective surgeries, the patient must be in good overall health.
During brachioplasty surgery, which is performed under general anesthesia, the doctor makes an incision along the segment of each arm’s hanging skin and fat. Each incision’s length depends on how much extra fat and skin needs to be excised. The extents of the openings range from only the armpit or upper arm to the total length of an arm, into the armpit and occasionally into the side of the chest. Liposuction is sometimes also employed to enhance the shaping and tightening. The results will last a long time if the patient maintains a healthy weight.
Everyone at the office of MOSA Surgery knows that it’s natural to feel excitement for your anticipated new look and/or a bit of preoperative trepidation. You needn’t be shy about discussing these emotions with one of our plastic surgeons. We want you to love your new look as much as you do! Please call today for an appointment.
