A frustrating side effect of getting older or losing weight is dealing with loose skin. At James Rough, M.D. Plastic Surgery, we offer arm lift surgery (also called brachioplasty) as an option for individuals who aren't able to tone or tighten their arms with natural methods. An arm lift removes excess skin, commonly referred to as "bat wings." Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. James Rough is very skilled in fat removal and skin tightening methods, which are used in the arm lift procedure. If you want to hear more about how brachioplasty can improve the look of your arms, please call and schedule a consultation at our Tucson, AZ practice today.
In most cases, your upper arm lift surgery will be performed in an outpatient setting unless several surgical procedures will be performed at the same time. An arm lift can be done with other surgeries, like a mommy makeover or thigh lift, depending on your aesthetic goals. Arm lift surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and may take several hours to finish. The unwanted skin will be surgically excised starting at the elbow up to the underarm. The incision will be made as discreetly as possible, although it may become a visible scar. MicroAire® power-assisted liposuction can be used to eradicate stubborn pockets of fat as well. After the skin is tightened, it will be stitched back into place. You will need to keep the incisions clean, bandaged, and supported with compression garments.
If you have droopy skin or "bat wings" under your arms, Dr. James Rough can address this by performing an arm lift. If you're close to your ideal weight but still can't get rid of the flab and skin that hang off your arms, feel free to contact James Rough, M.D. Plastic Surgery in Tucson, AZ to schedule a consultation.
I had a mommy Makeover on October 7th performed by Dr. Rough,. After visiting 4 Plastic Surgeons in Tucson and Scottdale I decided to go with Dr. Rough. He and his staff are, hands down, the best! Not only I am beyond happy with the results he is a very compassionate person. I called him with a few questions after my surgery and he always answered in a timely manner. He listened to me and validate my feelings. I highly recommend Dr Rough when it comes to Plastic surgery.

Dr. Rough and his entire staff are incredible. From start to finish, they are compassionate, empathetic, and thorough. From the consult to the operation I felt I was taken care of by professional, genuinely caring people. I’ve had a few cosmetic surgeries and I always get sick from the anesthesia, Dr. Rough’s anesthesiologist is the most wonderful sweet human being I’ve ever met. Everyone that is on his team is amazing and just as sweet. You will be in good hands with anything Dr. Rough does. I am writing this review day of surgery and I am feeling great. I highly recommend Dr. James Rough if you are looking for a skilled and caring surgeon with a team that will take care of you from start to finish. I cannot wait for my results!
