CONSULTANT PLASTIC SURGEON
Brachioplasty, elegantly known as the arm lift, is a refined surgical procedure designed to sculpt and contour the upper arms through the precise removal of excess skin and fat. This surgery proves particularly transformative for individuals who have experienced significant weight reduction or the natural passage of time, resulting in lax skin that remains unresponsive to disciplined diet or exercise.
Should the underside of your upper arms exhibit sagging, looseness, or fullness due to surplus skin and fat, an arm lift may be the discerning solution for you.
ARM LIFT - BRACHIOPLASTY WITH DR JOHANNES
WHAT ARE BRACHIOLASTY BENEFITS
Brachioplasty elegantly targets the region from the armpit to the elbow, effectively eliminating lax skin and unwanted fatty deposits that contribute to an untoned appearance. This refined procedure not only elevates the aesthetic allure of the arms but also enhances overall bodily proportions and instils profound self-assurance.
An arm lift can:
-
Reduce excess sagging skin that descends downward
-
Tighten and smooth the underlying supportive tissue that defines the elegant shape of the upper arm
-
Refine localised pockets of fat in the upper arm region
UNDERSTANDING A BRACHIOPLASTY
​
Incisions are artfully placed along the interior of the arm or the posterior surface, guided by surgical preference, and may extend gracefully from the underarm to just above the elbow. Should fat reduction be indicated during your arm lift, it will be precisely excised or refined through liposuction.
Depending upon your specific anatomical considerations, incisions may be more conservatively positioned. The underlying supportive tissue is then meticulously tightened and reshaped with internal sutures. Finally, the skin is elegantly smoothed over the newly sculpted contour of your arm. Your incisions will be closed with absorbable sutures, or stitches to be removed within one to two weeks following your procedure.
CANDIDATES
It is essential for discerning candidates to maintain a stable weight and cultivate realistic expectations regarding the outcomes of surgery.
​
Candidates for brachioplasty typically include:
-
Individuals with lax or sagging skin on the upper arms resulting from weight reduction or the natural aging process
-
Those who have achieved a stable weight and possess grounded, realistic expectations about the surgery's transformative potential
-
Patients seeking to elevate the contour of their arms to enhance self-image and restore confidence in elegant attire that reveals the arms
THE BRACHIOPLASTY PROCEDURE
Brachioplasty, elegantly referred to as the arm lift, is a refined surgical procedure designed to sculpt and contour the upper arms through the precise removal of excess skin and fat. This intervention proves particularly transformative for individuals who have achieved significant weight reduction, or those whose skin has surrendered its elasticity through the graceful passage of time.
Brachioplasty involves the delicate excision of surplus skin and fat from the upper arm, specifically from the underarm to the elbow. The surgery aspires to create a smoother, more toned appearance, elegantly addressing concerns such as sagging skin or "batwing" arms that may emerge following weight loss or as a natural consequence of aging.
SURGICLE STEPS
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia, ensuring serene comfort throughout your transformation.
The surgeon creates an elegant incision along the interior or posterior aspect of the arm, extending gracefully from the underarm toward the elbow. The precise length and placement are determined by the extent of excess skin to be refined.
Surplus skin and fat are meticulously excised, often employing liposuction to address localised fat deposits with precision.
The underlying supportive tissues are tightened with internal sutures to enhance and define the arm's refined contour.
Incisions are closed with meticulous stitches—either absorbable or requiring removal at a subsequent appointment.
The procedure is conducted under general anaesthesia, ensuring your comfort remains paramount throughout the surgical experience.
CONSULTATION
Prior to undergoing brachioplasty, patients will be welcomed into an exclusive consultation with Dr Johannes to articulate their aesthetic aspirations, review their medical history, and discerningly assess their suitability for the procedure. Dr Johannes will then craft a bespoke treatment plan and illuminate what to anticipate during the surgical experience and throughout the elegant recovery journey.
RECOVERY
Following your procedure, patients may anticipate gentle swelling and bruising in the treated area. Dressings or bandages will be applied to your incisions, whilst your arms are enveloped in an elegant elastic bandage or compression garment to minimise swelling. A delicate, thin tube may be temporarily positioned beneath the skin to drain any excess blood or fluid.
The smoother, more refined contours achieved through your arm lift become apparent almost immediately, though initial results remain subtly veiled by temporary swelling and bruising. Your newly sculpted, toned upper arms are dramatically elevated—both in appearance and exquisite tactile quality.
RISKS CONSIDERATIONS AND RESULTS
As with any refined surgical intervention, brachioplasty carries potential considerations, including:
-
Infection
-
Scarring
-
Bleeding
-
Nerve sensitivity
-
Results requiring further refinement
It is essential for discerning patients to explore these considerations thoroughly with their surgeon during the private consultation.
The results of brachioplasty are generally discernible immediately following surgery, although final outcomes may unfold over several months as swelling gracefully subsides. Whilst scarring is permanent, it typically fades elegantly over time and is strategically positioned to minimise visibility.
