Arm Lift Melbourne

Brachioplasty is the surgical process of removing excess skin and fat in the upper arm.

To be considered a good candidate, your weight should be relatively stable, be a non-smoker, and not have any medical conditions that impair healing.

About Brachioplasty Surgery

The procedure generally takes 3 to 4 hours under general anaesthesia.

The incision and pattern depend on the amount and location of excess skin to be removed. The scars are generally placed on the inner surface of the arm and may extend from the axilla (armpit) to just above the elbow.

Patients often stay 1 to 2 nights in hospital. Drain tubes may need to stay in for 1 to 2 weeks. You will need to wear compression garments for at least 12 weeks after surgery.

During A Brachioplasty Consultation

The best way to find out if you are the ideal candidate for this surgery is to get in touch with our team to arrange an initial consultation with Dr Sally Ng. During your consultation, Dr Sally can perform an evaluation on your arms, take specific measurements, and establish a possible procedure plan to determine what the surgery can achieve for you.
