Who Are Considered the Top Experts in Brachioplasty?

This is a procedure that no one claims to be "the expert". One of the problems with the surgery is managing patient expectations. Scars are difficult to predict. Typically patients come in desiring correction of loose skin. However, In this particular instance, a person who has great results wants to "show off" their arms in short sleeves and T-shirts, etc. Commonly, they become self conscious about the scars which can be good or bad but nearly always visible. A person with reasonable expectations who realizes these scars are inevitable and will be visible, will be most pleased. An individual who expects no scars will be greatly disappointed.
Surgeons who commonly perform correction following massive weight loss surgery are likely to be the most experienced in this procedure.

Thank you for your question. Who is considered to be the top expert in brachioplasty? There are many experts in brachioplasty throughout the US as well as internationally. In my opinion, I would judge the top experts based on the number of cases they have performed and their results. A plastic surgeon can prove several cases by having the before and after pictures to back up their professed numbers. If you see a plastic surgeon with one or two brachioplasty pictures, they are probably not experts. Experts should have at least 100 before and after pictures of the arm lifts on their website. Also, the quality of the arm lift should be evident in their before and after pictures. Please seek a board-certified plastic surgeon with at least 100 before and after pictures of arm lifts. Thank you for your question regarding who is considered the top expert in brachioplasty.

This is a plastic surgeon that is board certified and performs the surgery with nice results. So you find out who it is by searching in your area and looking at their before and after photos.
"Experts" does not translate into expert or exceptional results. Expert is a title that anyone can claim. You need to look at before and after photos and find a plastic surgeon that you feel comfortable with.
Good luck.

Thanks for the question.

I am glad that you are doing your due diligence. You will be best served to seek treatment by a board-certified plastic surgeon who can demonstrate a significant level of experience  with the procedure you are planing.  You can ask to see his/her before-and-after pictures and to potentially meet with patients who've had similar surgery.

You should also ask about potential risks and complications associated with the procedure and how the surgeon deals with these potential problems.

I hope this helps.

Brachioplasty surgery should be performed by a  board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this field. This is most common in weight loss patients.
