Brachioplasty is a long and intimidating word for an arm lift. This surgical procedure here in Chico, CA can help you regain a youthful appearance to your upper arms. If you are bothered by drooping or sagging of the skin on your arms, this may be the perfect treatment option for you.
What Can an Arm Lift Do?
The skin on your arms drooping is a normal part of aging. It happens as your skin becomes less elastic and gravity takes its toll. Weight fluctuations and heredity can also contribute to the severity of the issue. No matter what caused the problem initially, an arm lift in Chico, CA can help.
This procedure can help you:
- Reduce the amount of fat in your upper arms
- Eliminate sagging skin
- Tighten the underlying support network underneath your arms
- Boost your confidence when wearing short sleeve tops
- Relieve irritation caused by skin rubbing and chafing
Who Is the Ideal Candidate for an Arm Lift?
The best candidates for an arm lift will be:
- Healthy, both physically and mentally
- In good overall health with no major medical conditions
- A non-smoker, since smoking can delay healing
- Someone with realistic expectations
- Someone who has been unable to reach desired results through exercise
- Someone looking to reverse sagging caused by aging
- At a stable weight
What to Expect with an Arm Lift
Although this is surgery, it is performed on an outpatient basis. General anesthesia will be used, however, making it essential for you to have someone to drive you home. Ideally, someone will also stay with you for at least 24 hours after your procedure.
Incisions are made in the arm based on your individual needs. This allows us to tighten the supportive tissue underneath your skin. Excessive fat and skin can be removed during an arm lift. The incisions are then closed and the healing can begin. You should be able to see an improvement right away, although some swelling is to be expected. A compression garment can help this go down. You will be given personalized aftercare instructions that will include when you can exercise and return to work.

People Can't Believe I'm 75!
by Joanne Wilburn
Category: reviewsI'm 75 years old, and recently upon visiting various doctors, I've had three of them either walk past me staring or even walk past the examination room, not recognizing their 75 year old patient. I've even had one nurse tell me the doctor thought he had the wrong person in the examination room because my skin looked so young! People actually come up to me and ask to touch my face. I love it!
Professional and caring, skilled healthcare team!
by Stacey Longtin-Horton
Category: reviewsIn late October I had a work-related injury that resulted in a partial amputation of my left thumb. Because my bone was exposed, reconstructive surgery was needed in order to minimize infection and to save what I had left of my thumb. Dr. Kevin Myers determined that a Moberg advancement flap was the best option to maintain full range of motion and the most thumb length possible. My overall experience here was absolutely amazing! The entire staff was very accommodating and kind and worked in a very professional matter. They were always there to answer questions when I had them. My surgery went very well, and recovery was easy. A little over two months later, I now have a fully functioning thumb with full feeling and full range of motion! I am totally impressed with the work that the healthcare staff did! Although I hope to never need any reconstructive surgery again, I would not hesitate coming back here if I needed to for any issue. 100% would recommend to friends or family.
