Brachioplasty Durham
The brachioplasty procedure is performed by Dr. Brian Coan, Plastic Surgeon in Durham, Chapel Hill and Mebane. The procedure is also known as an arm lift procedure is a performed to remove excess sagging skin under the arm. Often times after weight loss or massive weight loss, you may notice excess skin under the arms. With the brachiaplasty procedure, in order to remove the excess skin, an incision is required that runs from near the elbow to the armpit. The incision is placed in the most inconspicuous location by the inner arm facing the back, however some scarring will be visible. To discuss your options for a brachiplasty (arm lift), call (919) 484-4884 to schedule a consultation with Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon in Durham Dr. Coan.
While many people think that the fullness that accumulates in the arm area is just fat, it actually may be a combination of skin, fat and sometimes loose muscle. At your consultation with Dr. Coan he will first perform a full health history to determine if you are a candidate for the arm lift procedure.
How Long is the Brachiaplasty (Arm Lift) Recovery?
Since your procedure is an individualized one, your recovery period will differ from others. We recommend you bring your caretaker, spouse or friend who will care for you in the days after surgery with you to your consultation. You will need to plan on extra household help for the days following your procedure. Dr. Coan and his surgical nurses and staff will be pleased to review your treatment plan individualized for your procedure. Additionally our patient care coordinator will work with you to determine a timeline that best suits your lifestyle.
Brachiaplasty (Arm Lift) Testimonial:
“Last year I lost nearly 100 pounds. I was so happy with the weightloss and I had even entered marathons, but I felt like my arm were like batwings and slowing me down. I’m a nurse and met Dr. Coan at one of the hospitals he was working at. I saw firsthand the work he did and so for me there was no other choice. He made my arms look great and the scars are almost completely gone. Best thing is I’m now back running and no more floppy arms to slow me down!” CM
