Texas Arm Lift — Dr. David M. Turner

Providing expert brachioplasty to patients in Austin, Round Rock and San Marcos, TX

What is an Arm Lift?

Most patients in Texas who choose to have an arm lift are dissatisfied with the way their upper arms look. Age and large weight loss can lead to sagging tissue that hangs down when your arm is extended outward. At the Austin, TX, practice of Dr. David M. Turner, this minor defect can be corrected by an arm lift, also known as brachioplasty. This procedure re-sculpts your upper arm into smoother, tighter contours by removing skin and subcutaneous tissue.

Arm lifts attract men and women of all ages, shapes and sizes. The surgery can be life-changing for people who are uncomfortable with swimming, exercising and other activities that draw attention to their upper arms. Patients from Round Rock, San Marcos and other Austin-area locales trust Dr. Turner with their brachioplasty because they know he is dedicated to helping them achieve their personal image goals.

How is an Arm Lift Performed?

With Dr. Turner in Austin, a brachioplasty is normally performed under general anesthesia. Incisions are made on the inside of the arm or on the back of the arm, stretching from the underarm to just above the elbow, usually in a zigzagged line. The skin is removed and then excess fat is excised with liposuction. The remaining skin is stretched over your arm and sutured into place. A drain may be used at the site of incision. Incisions are closed with absorbable or removable sutures and then bandaged.

The improved contours of your arms will be apparent almost immediately after your arm lift, though there will be some swelling and bruising. It may take up to two years to see the final results of your brachioplasty.

Am I a Good Candidate for an Arm Lift?

Suitable candidates are men and women who desire a more youthful and less flabby appearance in the upper arm. The arm lift patients who come to our Austin office have usually tried countless diets and exercise regimes and still feel self-conscious about the way they look. In fact, as you lose weight you will find that your arms can become flabbier, and their functionality can also be impaired. Brachioplasty can provide an effective solution to all of these problems.

What is the Recovery Process for an Arm Lift?

Depending on the individual, recovery times will vary. Most of our patients are able to go back to work two to three weeks after an arm lift in Austin. Four to five post-operative office visits are required.

You may have some discomfort or bruising, but this will respond well to normal pain medication.

Rest assured that you will always be in the best hands, before, during and after surgery with Dr. Turner’s caring team.
