Arm Lift Before & After Case 388

This patient sought an arm lift in San Antonio after experiencing significant weight loss of nearly 100 pounds. Despite their progress toward a healthier lifestyle, they felt self-conscious about the excess skin on their upper arms. This loose skin commonly remains even after substantial weight reduction, often making daily activities and clothing choices more challenging.

During their surgical consultation, the patient expressed their interest in achieving a smoother and more toned arm contour. Dr. Michael Ablavsky MD recommended a combined approach using liposuction alongside a brachioplasty, or arm lift, to target stubborn fat pockets and remove the excess skin. The procedure aimed to sculpt a natural and youthful arm silhouette while minimizing visible scarring.

The above patient’s post-surgical photos show more refined contours and reduced sagging in the upper arms. Recovery included a brief initial rest period and gradual return to normal activities. The patient felt more comfortable and noted improved confidence in clothing and social settings.

Dr. Ablavsky, a board-certified plastic surgeon in San Antonio, brings extensive training and board certification to each procedure. He works closely with patients to set realistic expectations and provides attentive post-operative care at Ablavsky Plastic Surgery.
