Baltimore Brachioplasty Specialist
Dr. Shermak has helped many Baltimore Brachioplasty patients. Please read more about what to expect from the procedure below.
What is Brachioplasty (Arm Lift)?
Brachioplasty treats excess skin, fat, and contour irregularities of the arm, smoothing and pulling the skin to achieve a tighter, more toned look. Brachioplasty is a powerful operation that may be performed in conjunction with Breast surgery, Abdominoplasty, Backlift, and Liposuction. There are different approaches to Brachioplasty depending on patient presentation, with scars varying from those falling in the crease of the underarm, to scars that travel between the underarm and elbow. The approach taken is agreed upon by the patient who will understand how to best achieve his/her goals.
Who is a good candidate for Brachioplasty?
Good candidates for Brachioplasty are men and women in good health who are non-smokers. Brachioplasty applies to massive weight loss patients and to individuals who suffer from loss of skin elasticity due to age, pregnancy or heredity. Brachioplasty may be combined with Abdominoplasty, Liposuction, Backlift or Breast Surgery to rejuvenate the entire torso. During the initial consultation you will discuss with Dr. Shermak what you would like to improve so she can understand your expectations and determine how to best achieve the desired result.
What is the recovery like for Brachioplasty?
Surgery may be performed as an outpatient or. One may experience discomfort, swelling, and numbness. Patients are up and walking within hours of surgery, but require recuperation for several weeks. Most resume regular activities and return to work after 2-3 weeks. Swelling and numbness may take months to resolve.
