brachioplasty AT HOLLAND PLASTIC SURGERY
A brachioplasty, or arm lift, is the surgical reduction of sagging excess skin and fat from the underside of your upper arms. The procedure will also tighten and smooth the underlying supportive tissue that defines the shape of the upper arm. Dr. Holland will determine if arm lift surgery may be right for you.
post-treatment care
Following a brachioplasty, patients receive tailored post-treatment care instructions from Dr. Holland. This typically includes wearing compression garments, avoiding strenuous activities, and keeping the incision sites clean. Regular follow-up appointments ensure proper healing and address any concerns for optimal results.
