Arm Lift 

One big challenge when losing weight or getting older is the appearance of loose skin. At Premier Surgical Arts, we offer upper arm lift surgery (also known as brachioplasty) as an intervention for people who cannot manage to tighten and tone the arm with natural methods. Lax skin from the elbow to the upper arm is very typical, particularly for people who are getting older or have lost significant amounts of weight. An arm lift effectively excises this excess skin, sometimes referred to as “bat wings.” Dr. Demaree is very skilled in fat removal and skin tightening surgeries. If you want to learn more information about how brachioplasty can improve the appearance of your upper arms, please contact us for an appointment at Premier Surgical Arts.

Expectations

A typical recovery timeframe takes around two weeks with lots of rest and arm elevation. Permit yourself time to heal. You use your arms for almost everything so patients are encouraged to ease their way back into their daily routines. A suture removal appointment will be made around ten days after surgery. Compression garments must be kept on until you are released by a member of our team. For at least one month, all exercise and strenuous activity must be eliminated with the exception of taking short walks. If you develop excessive swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, fluid buildup (hematoma), infection, numbness in the arms or hands, or unusual scarring, please call Premier Surgical Arts for help.

Shape

Whatever you call your “bat wings” or droopy skin on your arms, Dr. Demaree considers it as an opportunity to improve your appearance with cosmetic surgery. This exciting procedure provides emotional and physical benefits as well. If you are at a healthy weight and still can’t get rid of the flab and skin that hang off your arms, please call to plan a consultation with a member of our staff at Premier Surgical Arts in Altoona, WI. Look fitter and younger with upper arm lift surgery.
