Cosmetic Surgeons

“Doc, I hate these wings!” This is a common refrain heard by many Los Angeles Plastic Surgeons, from patients who complain about the redundant, excess skin and fat of their upper arms. There are many reasons why patients develop this problem. Weight loss, the aging process, after Gastric Bypass Surgery and various medical conditions all can be the cause. The common complaint is that the skin and soft tissues hang creating an unsightly appearance even when the arms are fully covered. Short sleeve shirts and blouses can leave patients feeling embarrassed and constantly aware of the issue, but there is hope! An Arm Lift, or Liposuction, or both, may be the answer.

Patients who are candidates for an Arm lift include people who have:
* Loose skin of the upper arms
* Had significant weight loss
* Excessively full upper arms
* Embarrassment from redundant upper arm soft tissues

Patients should always begin with a thorough consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Dr. Warren Lent, A Board certified Beverly Hills, Plastic Surgeon, will meet with you to examine you and fully assess your needs. He will make a recommendation as to which treatment, such as an Arm Lift or Liposuction may best serve your needs.

An Arm Lift is usually performed under general anesthesia. Before surgery, the amount of skin and fat to be removed will be estimated and markings will be placed accordingly. Unlike most physicians, Dr. Lent places the incision on the underside of the arm in a location making the resulting scars as inconspicuous as possible. On some occasions the incision can be placed in the Axilla (armpit). Prior to surgery, all patients are asked to avoid any medication, which thins the blood, such as Aspirin, for at least two weeks. Patients are told to avoid exercise and heavy lifting for at least six weeks after surgery.

Like all medical treatment an Arm Lift is generally a safe procedure, but there are risks. The risks include bleeding, infection, skin injury and the risk of anesthesia. Under the care of a Board Certified Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon, like Dr. Lent, every effort will be made to prevent and minimize risk to make your outcome a successful one. It is very important that smokers quit smoking and using nicotine products for at least one month before and for at least one month after surgery.

An Arm Lift is an excellent way for men and women to tighten and lift their upper arms. This can result in a more youthful and firmer appearance. Patients are usually thrilled at having their “wings” removed, giving them greater freedom to wear normal clothing again and participate in all physical activities. Most importantly, Dr. Lent’s Beverly Hills, Plastic Surgery patients comment on their renewed sense of self-image and self-confidence.

To best understand all of your options, a full consultation with Dr. Warren Lent is recommended. For further details on each aspect of an Arm Lift, Dr. Lent invites you to visit his collection of articles in his Arm/Thigh Info Center, Liposuction Info Center or Gastric Bypass Info Center.

An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure to remove loose skin and excess fat deposits in the upper arm. With age, upper arm skin can become loose and flabby. Plastic surgeons will discuss brachioplasty with patients who want to tighten this skin and look as good as they feel. In some cases your plastic surgeon may suggest that liposuction be used alone or in conjunction with an arm lift to remove excess fat in the upper arms.

An Arm Lift or Brachioplasty (arm reduction surgery) can remove excess tissue and reduce the circumference of the upper arm. Surgical correction depends on the amount of extra skin and how loose the supporting tissues have become. Extra skin is removed from incisions along the inner arm. The incision must be placed where the tissue can be best tightened but the incision must be well hidden as well.

Patients who desire a breast reduction in Valencia and beyond may have symptoms caused by the excessive weight of large breasts. Breast reduction can usually solve these problems as well as improve the size and shape of your breasts. Following breast reduction your breasts will be more proportional to the rest of your body, and clothes will fit you better. This may boost an individual’s confidence and is often what leads people to seek breast reduction in Valencia.

Breast reduction can be performed at almost any age, but plastic surgeons usually recommend waiting until the breasts are fully developed. Childbirth and breast-feeding may have significant and unpredictable effects on the size and shape of your breasts. Nevertheless, many women decide to undergo breast reduction before having children and feel that they can address any subsequent changes later. Please contact Dr. Hu to learn more about getting a breast reduction in Valencia.

During the complimentary consultation with Dr. Hu, you will be asked about your desired breast size as well as anything else about your breasts that you would like to see improved. This will help your plastic surgeon to understand your expectations and determine whether they realistically can be achieved. Once your goals have been determined and realistic expectations have been discussed you will set a date for this procedure in Valencia and will be given instructions about how to prepare.

When the date for your breast reduction in Valencia has arrived, you should plan on the surgery taking several hours or more. The most common method of reducing the breasts involves three incisions. One incision is made around the areola. Another runs vertically from the bottom edge of the areola to the crease underneath the breast. The third incision follows the natural curve of the breast crease.

After Dr. Hu, plastic surgeon in Valencia, has removed excess breast tissue, fat and skin, the nipple and areola are shifted to a higher position. The areola, which in large breasts usually has been stretched, also is reduced in size. Skin that was formerly located above the nipple is brought down and together to reshape the breast. Liposuction may be used to improve the contour under the arm. Usually, the nipples and areolas remain attached to underlying mounds of tissue, and this allows for the preservation of sensation. All procedures are performed under general anesthesia to minimize any discomfort or pain. Please contact our office to learn more about a breast reduction in Valencia.

It is important to follow any instructions your physician, Dr. Hu, may give you following your breast reduction in Valencia. Patients should be aware that soreness will be present after the operation and that moderate to heavy physical activity following the operation should be avoided for a period of time.

This plastic surgeon can help you to achieve your goals. Dr. Hu specializes in procedures relating to plastic surgery including procedures such as face lifts, eyelid lifts, forehead lifts, breast augmentation, breast lifts and reduction, rhinoplasty, ear pinning, liposuction, tummy tucks, arm lifts, body lifts and chemical peels. To schedule an appointment or to learn more about a breast reduction, please contact us today.

Plastic Surgery employs many creative techniques, each chosen to help address a particular area of concern. For example there are at least five different procedures to improve the look of the eyelids. Which technique is selected depends on the individual’s anatomy and their desired appearance. For every area of the body, there are many techniques available so that each procedure performed is really an individualized solution for that particular person. There is rarely any one best technique for everyone. The best technique is the one that produces the desired look safely, reliably and beautifully for that person.

After surgery, each patient receives Dr. Anthony’s personalized attention all the way through the recovery process. After the recovery process, Dr. Anthony can recommend a maintenance program to help you keep looking your best.
