Introduction

About Arm Lift

If you find yourself avoiding certain outfits and clothing types because of how your upper arms look, you’re not alone. As the body ages, it produces less collagen and elastin. These are the building blocks of healthy skin. At the same time, you may notice more fat than usual. Worrying about wings of skin and fat can take away from your enjoyment of your favorite activities. A brachioplasty surgery, or arm lift, tightens loose, drooping skin, whether as a result of aging or significant weight loss. Dr. Tehrani’s arm lift expertise can slim and contour the upper arms, creating astounding results and helping you toward a more confident you.

Are You a Good Candidate:

Arm Lift

Many factors have likely affected your choice to pursue cosmetic surgery. Is the arm lift right for you? Dr. Tehrani will help you carefully choose the best path forward during a consultation. Here are a few ways to know if the arm lift can fit your cosmetic goals.

You Want to Improve the Size and Shape of Your Upper Arms

If your upper arms are flabby, large, or unshapely, an arm lift can help. It can define and reshape the upper arms for noticeable contours and a slim, toned look.

You Have Sagging Skin and Stubborn Fat

Sagging skin and hanging fat are common concerns when it comes to the upper arms. Typically left over from weight fluctuations, these concerns can be easily removed with an arm lift.

You’re in General Good Health

Any surgery requires that you be in overall good health. Dr. Tehrani will help you review your medical history to determine if you’re at risk of any possible complications.

You’re at Your Ideal Weight

Weight changes can affect your results, meaning it’s important to be at a reasonable and stable weight. If you have more weight to lose, Dr. Tehrani can help you determine the right time to pursue an arm lift.

Arm Lift Goals

How can this help me feel more confident?

Sculpt and Define the Arms

An arm lift can get rid of tissue that conceals the natural contours and shape of your arms. The result is a more sculpted, defined look that draws attention in the best way.

Remove Bat Wings

“Bat wings” are a common concern, and can be especially embarrassing. Bat wings are accumulated fat and skin that hangs from the upper arms when you put your arms up. The arm lift is the single best solution to this concern.

Boost Confidence in Certain Clothing

Feeling confident wearing sleeveless clothing can be difficult when you have excess fat and skin in your upper arms. An arm lift can expand your wardrobe options and open opportunities to look and feel your best.

Benefits of Arm Lift

How Can We Help You Feel Great About Your Decision?

Once you’ve determined if the arm lift is compatible with your goals, picture how it can bring about positive change in your life. Here are some of the top benefits of this body contouring procedure.

Long-Lasting Results

An arm lift can permanently remove stretched skin and stubborn fat from the upper arms, leading to long-term improvement in your overall appearance.

Slimmer, More Toned Arms

One of the major benefits of brachioplasty is its ability to help your skin rebound from significant weight loss. Dr. Tehrani can address slack, wrinkled skin, specifically in your upper arm region.

Full Range of Movement

Dr. Tehrani can improve the aesthetics of your arms without compromising their range of motion. You should never sacrifice functionality for appearance. An arm lift can help you look great and continue to do the things you love.

Compare & Contrast

Arm Lift vs. Liposuction

Arm Lift

Brachioplasty requires Dr. Tehrani to maneuver the many layers of tissue in the upper arm to bring out its natural contours. This extensive technique is only possible during a surgical lift procedure. An arm lift is likely the best option if you have significant skin laxity. Dr. Tehrani can resuspend the tissues and bring out the slim, toned appearance hiding underneath lax skin and stubborn fat.

Liposuction

Liposuction can be an ideal option for the upper arms if you have only pockets of fat without sagging skin. Specialty liposuction options like VASER liposuction can produce moderate skin tightening while enhancing the muscle contours. Dr. Tehrani sometimes combines traditional liposuction with an arm lift for best results.

Arm Lift Recovery

Immediately following your arm lift procedure, our team will monitor your progress. Your arms will be outfitted with compression garments, and you might also have drain tubes placed at the incision sites. Drains help draw off fluid and prevent complications. The swelling should begin to subside 1-2 days after surgery. Our team will schedule a follow-up appointment to track your continued progress. Please avoid strenuous activity for at least three weeks following brachioplasty.

Within 4-6 weeks, you can begin to enjoy your full results.

BodyTite

BodyTite is a minimally invasive procedure that can tighten the skin using advanced energy. It’s a great accompaniment to certain procedures like liposuction because it can enhance contours and retract stretched skin without the need for a surgical lift procedure. It can easily be combined with liposuction.

Tummy Tuck

The tummy tuck is a common body contouring procedure and part of a body lift package that includes the arm lift. Dr. Tehrani can use these procedures to transform your upper body after significant weight loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

DO ARM LIFTS LEAVE SCARS?

Dr. Tehrani is a true artist. He will strategically place incisions under the arm or cradled in the armpit. This makes them nearly indistinguishable. To discuss your aesthetic concerns, contact our offices in Newport Beach.

CAN BRACHIOPLASTY SURGERY BUILD MUSCLES?

An arm lift removes loose skin and unwanted fat. The only way to increase muscle mass is to exercise. Patients may begin weight training well after they have healed from their brachioplasty procedure. Dr. Tehrani can skillfully remove excess bulk to highlight your muscles, but you deserve all the credit for keeping them strong!

HOW MUCH DOES AN ARM LIFT COST IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA?

Just as brachioplasty is contoured to your body, so too is its pricing contoured to your needs. Some patients require extensive reshaping, while others can receive a simple, straightforward arm lift. Dr. Tehrani offers financing assistance as well as occasional specials, so check back often. You may also wish to call (657) 259-9560 to discuss your payment questions.
