Slim, Toned Arms

Brachioplasty in Mobile, AL //

Unattractive upper arms can be a prevalent concern, particularly as we age. Many individuals, both women and men, may find themselves dissatisfied with the appearance of their upper arms due to various reasons. Some may struggle with disproportionate arm size, while others are bothered by loose, sagging skin that becomes apparent during arm movements. Younger individuals may also grapple with excess fat in the upper arm region, creating discomfort when wearing sleeveless attire. Furthermore, excess upper arm skin often becomes a prevalent issue following significant weight loss. Fortunately, at The Park & Rebowe Clinic in Mobile brachioplasty and arm liposuction patients can be assured that there are several effective methods to address concerns related to upper arm laxity, excess fat, or skin quality, providing tailored solutions to enhance their arm's appearance.

Eliminate Stubborn Fat

What is Arm Liposuction? //

Fat deposits and skin laxity in the upper part of the arm and armpit are common, even in the absence of obesity.

Moderate fat deposition can be treated with arm liposuction leaving minimal scarring in the armpit. The amount of liposuction is aesthetically limited by the ability of the skin to shrink down, as additional sag created by liposuction can be more bothersome than excess bulk. However, laser or ultrasonic liposuction can help with skin tightening. Arm liposuction can be accomplished with sedation and local anesthesia. Post-operative compression is needed for approximately one month. As with all liposuction, swelling can obscure the final result for months.

What are the benefits of Brachioplasty & Arm Liposuction? //

Brachioplasty and arm liposuction are designed to provide patients with sleeker, more toned upper arms, redefining their physical appearance and, in turn, their self-confidence. For those struggling with stubborn fat deposits in the arm area, arm liposuction can be particularly advantageous, minimizing fat in a minimally invasive manner with minimal scarring. On the other hand, with a brachioplasty Mobile patients experiencing loose, sagging skin in the upper arms, will find this works wonders.

At the Park & Rebowe Clinic in Mobile brachioplasty and arm liposuction provide a range of customized solutions. Patients can tailor the procedure to address their specific concerns, ensuring that the results align with their unique needs and desires. Whether it's eliminating fat deposits, addressing loose skin, or a combination of both, brachioplasty and arm liposuction can be fine-tuned to provide the most suitable outcome for each individual. Moreover, the scarring resulting from these procedures are designed to be discreet, whether it's the minimal armpit scar from arm liposuction or the carefully planned scar down the inner arm for a brachioplasty. These procedures are not just about enhancing physical appearance but also about promoting individuality and comfort in one's own skin.

Your Brachioplasty Procedure //

Brachioplasty and arm liposuction, the removal of excess skin and fat, may be necessary to rejuvenate arms with excessive, hanging skin, especially after significant weight loss. The scarring may be limited to a transverse scar in the armpit but typically requires a longitudinal scar down the inner arm. This scar is planned to be masked when the arms are at one’s side but may be visible when the arms are elevated. A brachioplasty is an outpatient procedure done under local or general anesthesia. Suction drains are necessary for larger excisions. Most patients return to work in two to four weeks. Exercise should be avoided for at least three weeks and then slowly resumed with no strenuous activities for six weeks.

Post Surgery Scar Treatment

A common concern among those pursuing plastic surgery is the appearance of post-surgical scarring. It is important to note that many elements of scarring are genetic, and there are some people predisposed to forming widened or thickened scars. However, there are known interventions that if followed can significantly reduce the size and visibility of the post-surgical scar.

By choosing PR Plastic Surgery for your procedure, you have already taken the first step by choosing board-certified plastic surgeons who are meticulous in their technique and wound closure. Thankfully, our patients also have the resources of the PR MedSpa and the expertise of our aestheticians to ensure the most favorable surgical outcomes.

For optimal scar treatment and healing, both Drs. Park and Rebowe, and our aestheticians highly recommend two therapies available through our MedSpa. Once cleared by your surgeon, our MedSpa staff will assist you in transitioning to these therapies.

  1. Silagen Silicone Treatment
  2. Laser Scar Therapy

Silagen Silicone Treatment

Works as a protective barrier that seals in hydration and limits excess collagen production, the root cause of abnormal and raised scars. This treatment is offered in the form of either silicone scar cream or silicone sheeting. The silicone cream will have additional benefits to scar reduction, including moisturizer and sunscreen. The cream dries to form a medical-grade silicone barrier that is flexible and lightweight. The silicone sheets have the additional benefit of added pressure to the scar. We recommend that the silicone cream be applied twice daily, and the silicone sheets are worn daily for up to 24 hours. Silagen Silicone Treatment is usually recommended for a minimum of 2-4 weeks following suture removal, or per physician recommendation. Some patients may utilize Silagen silicone up to one year post surgery for optimal results.

The Laser Scar Therapy

Consists of two powerful devices that can reduce scars and scar tissue, the Vbeam Perfecta and the Erbium laser.

The Vbeam Perfecta Laser reduces the appearance of scars by decreasing the erythematous, or red pigment. Inflamed scar tissue has more active blood cells than normal skin and the wavelength of this device targets the red pigment specifically, reducing the inflammation and therefore scarring. Clinical studies show that 100% of scars treated with Vbeam Perfecta Laser show visible improvement.

After the Vbeam, we use the Erbium Laser to blend the transition to native skin and compliment the results. By heating the subcutaneous tissue, the laser stimulates the production of new collagen, resulting in tightened and rejuvenated skin around the scar. Not only will the scar itself fade and diminish, but the edges of the scar will more effectively blend into the surrounding skin. Laser scar therapy has proven to speed up the recovery process post-surgery.

Your surgeon and our aestheticians at the PR MedSpa will assist you in choosing the correct post-surgery scar treatment pathway for you following your surgery.

“I’m back to 100%.”

“I’m not sure how many of your patients are tennis players but I am happy to report that my transition back to playing was quick and easy. The first time I went out to hit the muscles felt a little awkward especially if I had to reach out to hit a ball. The second time I played I felt good but was still hesitant and nervous about stretching too far. By the third time, I went out to play, I completely forgot about my surgery and played as I normally do. I’m back to 100% and don’t give it a second thought.” ”
