Arm Lift and Armpit Plastic Surgery
Bring on the tank tops! When exercise and strength training aren’t enough to give you the arms you desire, a brachioplasty can. An arm lift is one of the less extensive cosmetic procedures but is a finishing touch that dramatically improves appearance. Call Dr. Vanessa Voge, a leading board-certified Wichita plastic surgeon, for your appointment today at 316-263-0234!
Brachioplasty Procedure and Recovery
Brachioplasty primarily targets the underside of the upper arms and addresses loose, sagging skin. Dr. Voge skillfully makes incisions to minimize scar visibility, then removes excess skin and tissue to reshape the arm, improve muscle tone and smooth out the skin. Liposuction may be used in conjunction to arm lift surgery to remove localized fat deposits. In some men and women, liposuction alone may be used to achieve the desired results. Dr. Voge will discuss your treatment options with you during your consultation.
Most patients return to work within a few days, light exercise within a few weeks and fully recovered in a few months. Scars on the inner arm will flatten and fade in the months following your surgery. Scarring will vary based on your health, healing habits and natural skin tone.
