Brachioplasty with Dr Birch is a specialised surgical procedure aimed at removing excess skin and fat from the upper arms to achieve a more toned and contoured appearance. Dr Birch's expertise ensures a customised approach, addressing loose, sagging skin effectively, particularly for individuals who have undergone significant weight loss or have persistent skin laxity despite efforts with diet and exercise.
Brachioplasty
What is a Brachioplasty?
Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. The procedure targets the area between the elbow and the shoulder, which can become saggy and loose due to factors such as significant weight loss, aging, or genetic predisposition. During a brachioplasty, an incision is made along the underside of the arm, allowing Dr Birch to excise the surplus skin and fat. The remaining skin is then tightened and repositioned to create a smoother and more contoured arm.
About the Procedure
Brachioplasty with Dr Birch is a specialised surgical procedure aimed at achieving a more toned and contoured appearance of the upper arms. The process begins with several thorough consultations where Dr. Birch evaluates your individual needs and develops a personalised surgical plan. The procedure itself typically involves an incision along the underside of the arm, from the elbow to the armpit. Through this incision, Dr Birch removes excess skin and fat, then tightens and repositions the remaining skin to create a smoother and firmer arm contour. His precise techniques ensure minimal scarring and optimal aesthetic results.
Post-surgery, Dr Birch provides detailed aftercare instructions to support your recovery and enhance outcomes. You will be advised to wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and support the healing process. It’s important to avoid strenuous activities and follow Dr Birch’s guidelines for pain management and wound care. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress, address any concerns, and ensure
that the healing process is on track. Dr Birch’s expertise and personalised care aim to achieve both functional and cosmetic improvements, helping you enjoy a more defined and confident appearance.
Recovery and Aftercare
Following brachioplasty with Dr. Birch, the recovery process is carefully managed to ensure optimal healing and satisfaction with your results. Immediately after the procedure, you will be monitored in a recovery area to manage any immediate discomfort and ensure that you are stable. Dr Birch
will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your surgical site, including how to properly clean the area and manage any dressings. You will have access to an after-hours Nurse Practitioner and Dr. Birch for any concerns that may arise. You will be advised to wear a compression garment to help reduce swelling and support the newly contoured arms for 6-8 weeks.
During your recovery, it is important to follow Dr Birch’s guidelines regarding activity restrictions. You will need to avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and any movements that could strain the incisions for several weeks. Pain management typically involves prescribed medications, and you should adhere to the schedule to stay comfortable. Dr Birch will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress,
address any concerns, and check for any signs of complications. By closely following Dr Birch’s aftercare instructions and attending follow-up visits, you will help ensure a smooth recovery and achieve the best possible outcome from your brachioplasty.
