Tighten + Tone Your Arms

As we age, our bodies naturally change. Loose, flabby arm skin could be one of these changes. This can be a result of drastic weight loss or the natural aging process, where the individual is left with excess skin. An arm lift, also known as a Brachioplasty, erases excess arm skin and fat deposits uncovering a youthful, contoured arm. Dr. Hughes and his team of surgeons strive to deliver expert results that you’ll feel happy with.

Treatment Details
Each individual’s surgery will be slightly different, due to their own physical traits and characteristics.

Incisions

Dr.Hughes and his experienced team will make incisions on the inside or the back of the arm that could follow through to the underarm and above the elbow. Determining the incision length and amount is unique to the individual. If fat is being reduced as well, it will be excised or a Liposuction treatment.

Liposuction

To remove excess fat, liposuction may also be introduced during surgery to decrease the amount of fatty tissue under the arms.
Dr.Hughes will discuss post-procedural care to overcome excess scarring. Although brachioplasty tends to result in more intense scarring, many patients believe that removing saggy and loose skin is a fair trade-off in the long run.

Treatment Options
Upper Body

Some surgeons refer to a full body lift as an upper and lower body lift. In an upper body lift, the arms are treated with an arm lift and the breasts are contoured with a breast lift.

Lower Body

The lower body lift called a belt lipectomy, one of the most popular types. Many patients find that the majority of weight loss occurs in areas such as the buttocks, hips, and thighs. To begin your lower body lift, Dr. Hughes will make an incision around the belt-line of your waist, across your lower abdomen, and down your inner thighs.

Total Body

A total body lift is a much more intensive procedure than an upper or lower body lift. Many plastic surgeons perform it in stages, as the full surgery can take between four and seven hours to complete. During total body lift surgery, Dr. Hughes will begin by completing a mid-body lift, making an incision into your abdomen, around your waist, and down to your upper thighs. Once he has firmed your underlying muscles, removed unwanted fat, trimmed away excess skin, and pulled it smooth.

Is it safe to have multiple procedures done at once?
A body lift procedure is the best time to knock out everything you’ve ever dreamed of at once. It can save you time, money, and downtime in the long run.
