Everyone, in time, loses muscle mass. When this happens, the skin formerly supported by the muscles either wrinkle up or just hangs in large, unattractive masses. Nowhere else is this more apparent than the skin on a person’s upper arms.

Arms age just like any other body part, especially the underarm area where the triceps muscle lies between the shoulder and the elbow. As a result of age, diet, genes, gravity and just normal wear and tear— arms are quick to show their age.
 

YOUR MAKEOVER ISN’T COMPLETE IN PEMBROKE PINES UNLESS IT INCLUDES A BRACHIOPLASTY FOR YOUR ARMS.

You’ve worked hard at keeping other parts of your body young and vital. Maybe you had a lift, or a peel, or injectable fillers— and you saw how it took years off your face. Those same years can be taken off other aged body parts as well.

If you’re in the process of turning yourself into a younger version of the old you– your makeover isn’t complete unless it includes a brachioplasty for your arms.

THE ARM LIFT PROCEDURE, MINIMALLY INVASIVE WITH MAXIMUM RESULTS FOR PEMBROKE PINES AREA PATIENTS.

Even though the incisions involve only the skin layers close to the surface, most arm lifts are performed under general anesthesia.

An average patient usually needs pain medication by mouth for only a few days to handle any discomfort, and any residual postop pain is resolved within 7 to 10 days after the procedure.

THERE’S A DIFFERENT BRACHIOPLASTY TECHNIQUE FOR EVERY KIND OF ARM IN PEMBROKE PINES.

• No hanging arm skin. For patients with only a little excess fat in the upper arm, very little hanging skin, an arm lift may not be needed at all. It’s possible a little liposuction alone may do the job.

• Some hanging arm skin. For patients with some loose and hanging skin in the upper part of the upper arms, an improvement can be expected through an incision limited to that area only.

• Lots of hanging arm skin. For patients with excess hanging upper arm skin, typical of most massive weight loss patients, skin is removed through an incision that runs from the elbow, to the armpit, and possibly onto the side of the abdomen.

Two of the three techniques involve the removal of some amount of skin and will leave a scar. But every effort is made to minimize them, hide them, disguise them or put them somewhere inconspicuous.
