Arm Reduction Sydney

With Dr. Mark Kohout

What is Arm Reduction?

Arm reduction, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at reshaping the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat, typically to address excess, loose skin that can develop due to genetics, ageing or significant weight loss. This procedure tightens and smooths the underlying supportive tissue to create a more toned and contoured appearance. Arm reduction can increase comfort and is often performed alongside other body contouring procedures for more comprehensive results.

Individual results vary due to personal health factors and genetics, and all surgical procedures carry inherent risks that should be discussed with a qualified health professional.

Am I a Candidate?

Determining if surgery is appropriate for you requires a thorough health assessment. Generally, we look for patients who meet the following benchmarks to assist in a smoother recovery:

How is the procedure performed?

Anaesthesia

The procedure starts with administering anaesthesia, either general or local with sedation for patient comfort and safety throughout the surgery.

Skin and Fat Removal

The surgeon makes an incision along the inner or back side of the upper arm, then removes excess skin and fat to create a smoother, more contoured appearance.

Incision Closure

After reshaping, the surgeon carefully closes the incisions with sutures, using techniques to reduce visible scarring and promote healing.

What is the Recovery like?

Recovery from Arm Reduction typically involves a few key stages.

Swelling and bruising are common and typically subside within a few weeks.
Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for several weeks post-surgery.
Stitches are usually removed or dissolve within 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the technique used.
Final results become visible as swelling decreases, generally within a few months after the procedure.

What are the Risks?

Arm reduction surgery carries several risks, including infection, bleeding, and adverse reactions to anaesthesia. Patients may also experience scarring, changes in skin sensation, or asymmetry between the arms. Additionally, complications such as delayed healing or fluid accumulation can occur. It is crucial for candidates to discuss these potential risks with their surgeon.

What are the Costs?

The cost of arm reduction surgery varies based on factors such as the surgeon’s fee, facility charges, and anaesthesia costs. Additional expenses, including pre-operative consultations, post-operative care, and any required medications, can also affect the overall price. Many clinics provide financing options to help make the procedure more affordable. For an accurate estimate and to discuss payment solutions, please contact the clinic directly.
