Brachioplasty,
also known as Arm Lift or Arm Tuck,
is a plastic surgery procedure
designed to remove redundant,
flabby, and sagging skin folds of
the upper arms. Hanging arm skin
folds, also known as �Bat Wings,�
�Batwing Deformity� are not only unsightly, but
also interfere with one�s ability to
fit in sleeved tops, as well as
causing underarm skin rash and
irritation. Candidates for Arm Lift
surgery are often embarrassed by
their large and �jiggley� arms which
they can�t hide!
Brachioplasty can now offer patients
the freedom of a lifestyle that they
couldn�t enjoy previously. In fact,
the popularity of Brachioplasty has
soared to a point that according to
the American Society for Aesthetic
Plastic Surgery, the number of
Brachioplasty surgeries has tripled
since 1997, with nearly 15,000
procedures being performed in 2005.
Arm Lift surgery is not exclusive to
women. Actually, many men also
undergo Brachioplasty.
The majority of candidates for
Brachioplasty are those have lost
massive weight following Bariatric
Surgery, also known as �stomach
stapling� or �lap banding.� While
these patients reap many health and
psychological benefits from this
weight loss, one of its aftereffects
is sagging skin that hangs from the
arms and other parts of the body.
Because the skin has lost its
elasticity following years of
obesity, no amount of diet or
exercise can restore firmness and
tone to the arms. Another group of
Arm Tuck candidates are those who
have developed upper arm flabbiness,
simply due to the loss of elasticity
that accompanies aging or chronic
tanning.
Fortunately, Brachioplasty or Arm
Lift can help restore a person�s
ability to wear blouses and shirts
comfortably, to show their arms
without feeling self-conscious, and
to conduct their lives with greater
freedom and confidence. |
