What incisions are used during brachioplasty?

During an arm lift, an incision is usually made along the inside of the arm, from the armpit to the elbow. This allows Dr Peters to remove excess skin and pockets of fat before stitching the skin back together.

Can I combine brachioplasty with other procedures?

Brachioplasty procedures are often performed in conjunction with other body contouring procedures. Dr Peters can assess whether this is a suitable option for you in your initial consultation.

How should I prepare for brachioplasty surgery?

To prepare for brachioplasty, you should stop smoking, avoid certain medications and supplements that can affect your blood clotting ability, and arrange for a family member or a friend to assist you during the initial recovery period.

What type of anaesthesia is used during brachioplasty?

Brachioplasty is typically performed under general anaesthesia. This means that you will be asleep during the procedure. However, the type of anaesthesia will be determined based on your health and the extent of the surgery.

How long do the results of brachioplasty last?

The results of brachioplasty can be long-lasting. However, you should keep in mind that factors such as ageing, lifestyle, and significant weight changes can affect the longevity of the results.
