ARM LIFT IN THE WOODLANDS, TX
what is an arm lift
An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes fat and excess hanging skin from the upper arms. During the procedure, the underlying contour of the arm is tightened creating a smooth, slender upper arm. Aging, genetics and weight fluctuations are the most common causes of sagging upper arms. If you’re looking for a high-quality arm lift, Dr. Correa can help you..
The Procedure
The Benefits
An arm lift from Dr. Correa will tighten the loose skin under the arm and restore a more slender and balanced contour. To look better in form fitting clothes and be unafraid to expose the upper arms can be a boost to your self-confidence and image. In cases of massive weight loss, the excessive amount of redundant skin on the upper arms can diminish the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that your new, healthy weight should provide. Dr. Correa has seen a number of patients in this position and through the relatively simple procedure of an arm lift, has restored their upper arms to a size that is proportionate to the rest of their body.
The Recovery
This procedure can be done as an outpatient at Dr. Correa’s surgical center of choice. The surgery takes about 1-2 hours and once you have recovered from the anesthetic you can go home to recover. You will wear a compression garment to minimize swelling. You will be given full instructions on managing your incisions and will have pain medication to keep you comfortable. Most people can return to work after a week and can return to exercising and more strenuous activities in 4 to 6 weeks. Scarring will fade as time goes on but you will enjoy the benefit of slimmer upper arms within a few weeks. The results are very long lasting as long as your weight remains stable.

DR. CORREA’S PHILOSOPHY
arm lift
“The Houston summers can be hot and are no time for long sleeves. Unfortunately, some patients are self-conscious about their arms and summer can be an uncomfortable and long season. Thankfully, brachioplasty or liposuction can often fix this problem with minimal downtime and reliable outcomes.”
