Why Would a Surgeon Not Want to Perform Liposuction with an Arm Lift? I am considering having brachioplasty and have seen two surgeons about the procedure. One surgeon recommended liposuction with the brachioplasty; the other surgeon never performs liposuction with brachioplasty because of the high level of trauma. Can someone please advise on why liposuction would not be performed and will my results be as effective?

A: Liposuction and arm lift ( brachioplasty ) Every surgeon has his own comfort level with an operation. I would not hesitate to do liposuction and arm lift at the same time. As long as no skin flaps are raised liposuion can be done safely and enhance the results

Is It Common to Use Local Anesthesia for Brachioplasty Revision? I had a Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) done in early 2009. The surgeon and I agreed a revision would be a good idea to remove the remaining excess hanging skin. He has suggested doing this in his office with local anesthesia...I will be awake. Yikes..
Is it routine to do such a procedure in an office (not a surgery center) with only a local? I think if I see him cutting my arm flesh off I'll pass out! Has anyone removed excess skin all the way along the length of both arms in an office with just a local? Thanks for your input!

A: Revision of brachioplsty in the office.

This kind of procedure can be done in the office under local anesthesia but if you think that mentally you could not tolerate it, you would need to be sedated. Depending on the equipment and the facilities this could also be done in the office.
