Achieve a Better-Defined and Rejuvenated Appearance for Your Upper Limbs in Portland, Oregon

Shedding extra pounds or growing older can lead to a disappointing consequence for many people: soft, sagging upper arm tissue that seems to defy diligent diet and exercise efforts. When this happens, an arm lift at The Waldorf Center in Portland, Oregon, can help. Under the guidance of Dr. Kathleen Waldorf, Dr. Rachel Streu, and their team, you can enjoy a slimmer and sleeker look that restores firmer, more youthful contours to your limbs.

BOOK YOUR CONSULTATION

Also known as brachioplasty, arm lift surgery represents a restorative option capable of redefining your arms’ contours by removing surplus skin and fat. This procedure combats the so-called “bat wing” appearance often associated with loose skin around the arms.

While this procedure is commonly requested by individuals of all genders, particularly those who have undergone considerable weight loss (i.e., bariatric surgery patients), it’s a frequent concern among women. Our surgeons at The Waldorf Center have successfully performed numerous arm lifts, enabling our patients to feel self-assured and comfortable in skin-baring apparel again.

What Can an Arm Lift Address?

An arm lift can treat several conditions, remodeling your appearance by:

  • Removing excess sagging skin and fat in the upper arm area
  • Refining the upper arms for a more toned look
  • Creating more youthful proportions

How Much Does an Arm Lift Cost?

The cost of an arm lift depends on several aspects, including the complexity of the procedure and any simultaneous treatments. During your consultation, our team will go over these details, helping you fully understand and address any questions you might have.

What Is The Waldorf Center Arm Lift Experience?

We believe you need to be well informed about arm lift surgery so that you can make an informed decision about your procedure and your surgeon. This includes the process of preparing for the surgery and the recovery period. One of our surgeons will meet with you about your concerns and personal goals. The doctor will examine you and tell you what they can accomplish for you. They will also advise you what the arm lift will involve in terms specific to your case.

During the arm lift process, Dr. Waldorf or Dr. Streu will remove excess skin and fat via strategically placed incisions, carefully reshaping your upper arms. The remaining skin will be draped over the slimmer contours and sutured into place.

The procedure involves anesthesia to assure your continuous comfort. Some patients may prefer combined processes, like an upper body lift, which could prolong the procedure length. Post-surgery, your arms will be bandaged and swathed in compression garments to support the healing process and minimize swelling.

The Waldorf Center pledges complete commitment to providing all- encompassing aftercare support, ensuring your journey to defined arms is successful and smooth.

Choosing the right surgeon entails making a deeply personal decision. We welcome all questions and strive to create an environment where you feel at- ease asking for clarification. We’re committed to ensuring you are entirely comfortable with your decision to entrust your surgery to The Waldorf Center team.

What Happens After an Arm Lift Procedure?

After your arm lift surgery, you should plan for at least a week of downtime. Further, activity restrictions apply for four to six weeks post-operation. During the recovery stage, some bruising, soreness, and swelling may occur, which can be managed effectively with prescribed pain medication. A mild degree of swelling may persist for several weeks to months following the procedure.

Our skilled clinical team will remove your sutures as part of a post-operative assessment and will continue to meticulously monitor your healing progress.

Is an Arm Lift Suitable for Everyone?

An arm lift is most beneficial for individuals who are in good overall health and are dealing with excess skin and fat in the upper arm area resistant to diet and exercise. Dr. Waldorf or Dr. Streu will evaluate your unique requirements during your consultation and conclude if an arm lift is an appropriate solution for you.
