As Halloween approaches and we embrace the spooky season, let yourself be reminded it’s the perfect time to get rid of your “bat wings” –- the extra skin and tissue hanging down on your arms, which can give a similar appearance to bat wings. Whether it’s from age or weight loss, brachioplasty, or arm lift surgery, can help you eliminate this insecurity for good! Investing in a cosmetic procedure can be life-changing for your self-esteem and quality of life depending on the effects it’s having on you.
What Is Brachioplasty?
Brachioplasty, or arm lift surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reshape the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. This procedure will help you achieve a smoother, more sculpted appearance that can make your arms look youthful and proportionate. At Flower Mound Plastic Surgery, our board-certified surgeons Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell provide expert care to ensure a safe and satisfying outcome and create natural-looking results that will compliment your appearance.
What Might Make You a Candidate for a Brachioplasty?
Several factors can contribute to saggy skin on our upper arms:
Aging: Over time, people naturally lose skin elasticity, leading to sagging skin that can appear anywhere on your body, including the arms.
Weight Loss: While losing weight is a tremendous achievement, it can create loose stubborn skin that is challenging to tighten and tone.
Genetics: Sagging skin on the arms can be hereditary for some people, regardless of age or weight.
The Benefits of Brachioplasty
Enhanced Confidence: Many people feel self-conscious about their upper arms, especially in sleeveless clothing. An arm lift can help you gain confidence and feel good again in your skin.
Long-Lasting Results: A brachioplasty will allow you to enjoy smoother sculpted arms for years.
Improved Fit of Clothing: An arm lift can change how your clothes fit and make you more open-minded about wearing tops and dresses that show off your arms. Many people grow a newfound appreciation for the summer months after receiving a Brachioplasty because being limited to wearing certain clothing is no longer an issue.
The Process of a Brachioplasty
Consultation: Your journey begins with a consultation, during which you’ll discuss your goals and medical history with our expert team. We’ll then guide you through the procedure, potential outcomes, and a personalized plan.
The Procedure: During the surgery, an incision is typically made along the inside or back of the arm, from the armpit to the elbow. This allows the surgeon to remove the excess skin and, if necessary, fat.
Recovery: While recovery time can vary, many patients return to their daily activities within two weeks and exercise after 4-6 weeks. We’ll provide a detailed post-surgery care plan to ensure you heal comfortably and quickly.
