Armed & Not So Dangerous - Brachioplasty & Arm Contouring

Dr. Ashley Robey, quadruple board certified plastic surgeon, delves into surgical procedures for arm contouring. Dr. Robey discusses various options for improving arm contours, especially for those who are unhappy with the appearance of their arms due to loose skin or disproportionately large arms. She describes traditional brachioplasty, liposuction, the minimally invasive Body Tite treatment using radio frequency energy, and limited brachioplasty incisions. Dr. Robey also reviews some other techniques and tools that surgeons utilize in the arm contouring world, such as laser liposuction, JPlasma and Cool Sculpting. Dr. Robey emphasizes that brachioplasty, typically an outpatient procedure lasting two to three hours, has a high satisfaction rate but carries theoretical post-operative challenges such as scarring and swelling. She also provides an overview of the costs involved and indicates that such procedures can be life-changing for the right candidates.
