Arm Lift Surgery in St. Louis, MO

Arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reshape and tighten the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. 

At Amelia St. Louis in St. Charles, MO, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rafi Fredman and plastic surgeon Dr. Alan Tom specialize in this transformative procedure, helping patients achieve a more defined and toned appearance.

Many individuals seek arm lift surgery after significant weight loss or due to the natural aging process or genetics, which can result in sagging skin in the upper arms. 

An arm lift in St. Louis typically involves making an incision along the inner arm, allowing the surgeon to remove excess skin and fat, resulting in a more streamlined contour. This procedure can enhance the overall silhouette and boost self-confidence.

Recovery from arm lift surgery usually involves a downtime of 10-14 days, during which patients may experience some swelling and discomfort. Most are advised to avoid strenuous activities for up to six weeks to ensure optimal healing. While many patients notice immediate improvements, the full results of the surgery will develop over several months as swelling subsides.
