Excess skin on the top of the arms is very common with aging and weight loss. In most cases an arm lift (aka Brachioplasty) is the only real option for getting rid of the extra skin. Having an arm lift is a big decision so Dr. Martin and Amy are here to tell you everything you need to know before having this transformative procedure.
Questions to ask your surgeon at your consultation:
- Are you certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery?
- Do you perform surgery at an accredited facility?
- What specific training to you have in brachioplasty techniques?
- Am I a good candidate for this procedure?
- What surgical technique is recommended for me?
- What are the risks and possible complications?
- How are complications handled?
- Will weight loss/gain/pregnancy alter my results?
- What can I do to maximize my recovery and results?
- What kind of help will I need during my recovery and for how long will I need assistance after surgery?
- How can I expect my arms to look/age over time?
- What are the options if I am dissatisfied with my outcome?
- Do you have pictures of results that are reasonable for me to expect?
