According to data from the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), approximately 15,000 women underwent an arm lift (brachioplasty) in the United States in 2012.\u00a0 This is an astonishing 4300% increase from the year 2000 making arm lifts the fastest rising cosmetic procedure over the last decade.\u00a0 So why the dramatic rise in upper arm lift surgery? There is no simple answer and this is likely attributed to several factors.\u00a0 First, better weight loss efforts including gastric bypass surgery are leaving patients with sagging skin that can only be improved with surgical tightening.\u00a0 Second, the public is realizing that exercise cannot tighten loose arm skin and they are now better educated about the cosmetic surgery options available.\u00a0 In addition, changes in fashion trends and a focus on some well-toned celebrity arms may have created a larger demand for improving arm contour.\u00a0 Lastly new surgical and scar treatment techniques have resulted in improved contour and scars making this operation more desirable.<\/p>\n

If one\u2019s arms are full with good skin quality and no skin excess, then liposuction alone is a good option.\u00a0 When loose skin is present, liposuction alone will somewhat deflate the arms and worsen their appearance. \u00a0An arm lift is necessary at this point as it improves contour by both removing unwanted fat and tightening loose skin.\u00a0 Commonly liposuction techniques are used at the time of an arm lift to remove fat allowing optimal tightening of skin and shaping of the arms to the best possible contour.\u00a0 The biggest drawback of an arm lift is the length of the scar involved.\u00a0 The scar starts near the elbow and continues up the arm and into the armpit.\u00a0 If designed properly, the scar is not visible from the front or back with the arm at one\u2019s side.\u00a0 When the arms are raised somewhat away from the body in most social situations, only the very lower portion is visible if the scar is prominent.\u00a0 When the scar heals well, it is barely perceptible.\u00a0 Historically, the scars from an arm lift surgery had a reputation of not healing well compared to other procedures leaving patients with larger more visible scars.\u00a0 In the massive weight loss patients, the quality of the scar was less of an issue as the tradeoff was worth removing the large amount of excess skin present.\u00a0 However in patients with mild or moderate skin laxity, the scar was commonly prohibitive.\u00a0 With the advancement of surgical technique and postoperative management of scar healing, the scars associated with this procedure have improved and made this operation much more appealing for a broader group of patients.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in improving the shape of your arms seek the advice of a board certified plastic surgeon<\/a>.\u00a0 During a consultation, a board certified plastic surgeon will determine the optimal approach to improve the contour of your arms whether it is an arm lift, liposuction alone, or a noninvasive method.\u00a0 Dr. Dino Elyassnia is a board certified plastic surgeon in San Francisco with experience in arm contouring using both arm lifts and various liposuction techniques.<\/p>\n

In the patient above, he has used both an arm lift and liposuction to create a natural, well-toned shape to the arm.\u00a0 Please contact our clinic for more information or to schedule a consultation<\/a>.<\/p>\n
