Brachioplasty Plastic Surgery
At North Star Plastic Surgery in Fairbanks, AK, Dr. Erick Martell specializes in brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, to help patients achieve toned and contoured upper arms. This transformative procedure targets excess skin and fat, often resulting from significant weight loss or age-related changes, to enhance the arm's appearance.
Primarily performed for cosmetic reasons, brachioplasty addresses concerns related to excess sagging skin and loss of elasticity in the upper arms. Dr. Martell carefully evaluates each patient's unique anatomy and desired outcomes to tailor the surgical approach accordingly.
During brachioplasty, Dr. Martell utilizes surgical techniques tailored to the extent of excess skin and fat. Typically, an incision is made along the inner or back part of the upper arm, allowing for precise removal of excess tissue. In some cases, liposuction may complement the procedure to further contour the arms and achieve optimal results.
While brachioplasty offers significant aesthetic improvements, it's essential to consider potential risks and complications, including bleeding, infection, scarring, and changes in sensation. Patients at North Star Plastic Surgery receive thorough consultations with Dr. Martell to discuss these factors and make informed decisions about their treatment journey, ensuring personalized care and optimal outcomes.
