What you need to know about Brachioplasty (Arm Lift)

A brachioplasty, commonly called an arm lift, is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin of the upper arms to provide improved contour.

OUR APPROACH TO YOUR BRACHIOPLASTY

Your brachioplasty can be performed as a Day Case at the adjacent Windsor Private Hospital. Our patients typically return home that afternoon. You will be seen the following morning by our dedicated and experienced surgical nurse and then regularly during your recovery.

Recovery typically involves wearing a compression garment over the arms for 6 weeks. We recommend no heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for approximately 6 weeks following surgery. Most of our patients return to relatively normal activity and sedentary work after 1 week.

All surgery carries risks which are important to understand so that you make a well-informed decision. Complications associated with a brachioplasty include bleeding, infection, poor scarring, wound breakdown, skin irregularities, asymmetry, nerve damage, deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in the legs) and anesthetic complications.

This listing is not all-inclusive and patients may be at risk for additional complications depending on their past medical and surgical history. A thorough discussion will occur during consultation with your surgeon including ways to mitigate risks prior to surgery and steps taken to treat complications should they occur.
