Bye, Bye Flabby Arms
With the effects of time and frequently following weight loss, men and women can lose skin tone. This loss of tone can be very obvious as hanging skin on the underside of the arm.
The excess skin is sometimes associated with fat deposits in these areas as well. In some individuals, the underside of their arms may appear more full than they would like, and this may be because of the presence of excess fat. Brachioplasty procedure performed by Dr. Joseph F. Capella at Capella Plastic Surgery in Bergen County removes excess skin (and usually fat) to restore a more youthful appearance to the arms.
Enhance Your Arms
For individuals who have good skin tone and disproportionate amounts of fat in the arm, liposuction may provide adequate treatment.
However, the use of liposuction alone to contour the arms always creates the risk of contour irregularities. Achieve slimmer, toned arms with Brachioplasty, ideal for individuals with excess fat and sagging skin. Dr. Capella’s expertise and various approaches provide optimal results. Experience the benefits of reduced fat, elimination of the “bat wing” appearance, improved problem areas, and the freedom to wear short sleeves or sleeveless apparel confidently.
When Experience Matters
During the initial evaluation for Brachioplasty New Jersey Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Capella, will take a thorough medical history and perform a directed physical examination.
In his evaluation, he will assess the skin tone of the arms and the amount of localized fat present. If he feels the patient’s skin tone is good and that excessive fat is contributing to the undesirable appearance of the arms, liposuction may be recommended. In the event that the skin tone is poor, removal of some skin and liposuction may be recommended. At your consultation, the arm lifting procedure will be explained to the patient, and informational materials will be provided. Dr. Capella has personally performed over 2,000 arm lifts (1,000 patients). He has the largest published series of Brachioplasty procedures on massive weight loss patients in the world. Dr. Capella and his team are dedicated to providing comprehensive information and guiding you through your aesthetic journey. Your comfort and informed decision-making are our top priorities.
Reveal Your Inner Strength
Two weeks prior to your operation, you will need to discontinue medications which can lead to surgical complications. You will meet with Dr. Capella again, at which time any further questions you may have will be answered.
Do not wear jewelry or contact lenses or bring valuables to the operating room. Remove all jewelry from pierced body parts; this can interfere with the procedure and may represent a safety threat to you because of the use of electrocautery during the procedure. Finally, Dr. Capella will write prescriptions for antibiotics to decrease your risk of infection and a narcotic analgesic for post-operative pain relief. You need to inform us of any history of allergic reactions to medications.
The Day of Your Brachioplasty
On the day of your Brachioplasty, Dr. Capella will place skin markings on your arms while you are sitting up. The anesthesiologist will review your medical history. Dr. Capella performs this procedure with general anesthesia.
It’s Time for the Reveal
Once the swelling subsides, you’ll enjoy slimmer arms that reveal your underlying muscle definition. While Brachioplasty doesn’t increase muscle mass, it enhances the visibility of your muscles. Embrace the freedom to wear your favorite outfits comfortably and confidently, proudly showcasing your arms.
Reshape, Redefine, and Rediscover Confidence in Your Arms
Two days following Brachioplasty, your dressings may be removed as showering is permitted. Mild soap may be used.
Brachioplasty
As with any surgery, complications of Brachioplasty include infection and bleeding, although these are unusual. Other important complications include poor wound healing, resulting in conspicuous scars that may necessitate a second operation. Smokers are advised to discontinue smoking several weeks prior to surgery as smoking increases the risks of complications and delays wound healing by altering blood circulation in the skin. You can reduce your risks of complications by closely following our instructions before and after the surgery, especially with regard to how and when you resume physical activity.
Scar placement is of great concern to patients considering Brachioplasty. Dr. Capella has a very long and extensive experience with the placement of the scar along the lower part of the inside of the arm, very similar to the location of a seam in most dress shirts.
Yes, in some cases. Liposuction can improve the results of a Brachioplasty. The liposuction is performed at the same time as an arm lift. Dr. Capella is very careful, however, to not liposuction areas of the arm that result in permanent contour deformities.
