If you’re dealing with loose skin or “bat wings” under your upper arms, an arm lift may be the right solution to restore tone and confidence. Dr. York Yates, a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in breast and body procedures in Layton, UT, understands how upsetting it is to feel and see your arms flapping and hanging when you move.
He helps our patients feel comfortable, informed, and ready for their arm transformation. With a history of more than 10,000 successful major plastic surgery procedures over the last two decades, Dr. Yates has extensive experience to draw upon as he creates arm lift results you’ll love.
Why Consider an Arm Lift?
Loose skin on the arms has many causes, including aging, weight changes, or genetics. These factors can lead to excess skin that can be difficult to tighten through exercise alone.
An arm lift, or brachioplasty, removes excess skin and reshapes the arm for a more toned and youthful appearance.
Benefits of an arm lift include:
- Increased Confidence:Â Enjoy arms that match your active, vibrant lifestyle.
- Improved Contour:Â Experience a balanced look that matches the rest of your body.
- New Clothing Options: Always avoided sleeveless shirts and avoided swimsuits? You can show off your upper arms proudly after an arm lift.
- Permanent Results:Â Once the extra skin is removed, results are long-lasting.
- Personalized Care:Â Dr. Yates tailors each arm lift to meet your needs.
These advantages make arm lift surgery popular for those looking to enhance their appearance and boost body confidence.
What to Expect With an Arm Lift
We understand the importance of feeling prepared. During your consultation, Dr. Yates will walk you through every aspect of the arm lift process, from pre-surgery prep to recovery tips. The arm lift procedure generally involves the following:
Anesthesia
Dr. Yates focuses on making surgery and recovery as easy and streamlined as possible. We offer unique, intubation-free anesthesia and sedation options, alongside innovative pain management techniques, to ensure our patients have as little downtime as possible. Patients receive total IV anesthesia, which is between general and awake anesthesia. Our patients often say it feels like a short nap with no pain.
Skin Removal and Contouring
Dr. Yates carefully removes excess skin, sculpting your arms to create a natural, toned look. While there is a long incision, it’s on the underside of your arms and difficult to see. Over time, the scars fade significantly.
Recovery and Results
With Dr. Yates’ streamlined approach, you can expect a smooth recovery and gradual improvement over the following weeks. Thanks to our unique pain management protocols, at least half of patients don’t need any narcotics during recovery.
Dr. Yates’ commitment to providing comfortable and supportive care ensures you can approach your arm lift with peace of mind.
