Surgical Technique 

Brachioplasty at Snyder Plastic Surgery involves advanced surgical techniques tailored to each patient’s unique needs: 

  1. Incision Placement: Dr. Snyder carefully plans incisions in the upper arm to minimize visible scarring. The length and pattern of incisions may vary depending on the extent of skin laxity and the desired outcome. 
  2. Tissue Removal: Excess skin and fat are removed through the incisions, allowing Dr. Snyder to reshape and contour the arms for a smoother, more toned appearance. 
  3. Muscle Tightening: In some cases, underlying muscles may be tightened to enhance arm contours further and improve overall tone. 
  4. Liposuction: Liposuction may be incorporated to remove stubborn fat deposits and refine arm contours, ensuring a more sculpted result. 
  5. Skin Closure: After removing excess sagging skin and achieving the desired contour, incisions are meticulously closed with sutures to promote optimal healing and minimize scarring.

Arm Lift Step-by-Step 

Before 

During your initial visit, Dr. Snyder conducts a comprehensive evaluation, including going over your medical history) to determine candidacy for this surgical procedure and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy and desired outcomes. Patients should be at a stable weight, have loose skin (“bat wings”) and/or excess fatty tissue along their arms, and not have any medical conditions that could affect the healing process. At the consultation, patients have the chance to ask questions, share their goals, and comprehensively understand treatment before the operation day. 

During 

On the day of the cosmetic procedure, anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort throughout the surgery before Dr. Snyder begins making carefully planned incisions along the predetermined areas of the arms. Excess skin and fat are then removed, and underlying tissues/remaining skin may be tightened and reshaped as needed. Liposuction may be performed to refine arm contours further and enhance the overall result.  

After 

Swelling and bruising are normal following the thigh lift procedure. Patients should keep their arms elevated and wear their compression garment to promote blood circulation and minimize swelling. With proper care, the arm will return to normal after several weeks. Post-operative instructions are provided to promote optimal healing and minimize discomfort, and Dr. Snyder is readily available to address any questions or concerns that may arise during the recovery process, ensuring a smooth and successful outcome.

To maintain your results, you’ll want to stay at a healthy weight, quit smoking, and stick to a healthy lifestyle.
