What is a Brachioplasty?
Brachioplasty, also known as an arm lift procedure, is a cosmetic surgery designed to correct sagging skin and restore skin tightness due to aging, weight loss, or genetics. This skin tightening procedure removes excess skin and stubborn fat to restore a smoother, more toned appearance to the arms.
Dr. Darren Smith’s expertise and patient-centered approach to brachioplasty assure patients an experience centered on precision and care tailored to their unique needs.
How is an Arm Lift is Done at Dr. Darren Smith’s NYC Clinic?
Consultation and Planning:
Your transformation begins with a consultation with Dr. Smith, who will assess your situation and goals to develop a personalized treatment plan. The consultation aims to understand your expectations and make sure they’re achievable throughout the surgical process.
Surgical Procedure:
The incisions are placed strategically to minimize visible scarring. While brachioplasty does involve a long scar, Dr. Smith is an expert at placing it in a position to minimize its visibility. If necessary, liposuction will be performed to remove excess fat, followed by tissue tightening to address any loose skin. Once the procedure is complete, the incisions will be carefully closed to promote optimal healing and lasting results.
Recovery:
The road to recovery requires dedication, but with Dr. Smith’s expert aftercare, you know you’re in good hands. He’ll provide expert guidance on pain management, recommend the use of a compression garment to reduce swelling, and give advice on activity restrictions.
Follow-up Appointments:
Scheduled follow-up appointments help monitor your progress, address any concerns, and ensure you’re on the right path to lasting results.
