Case Details
This is a 46-year old woman who came into our office looking to decrease excess fat on her arms, and correct the “sagging” appearance of her arms. This patient had previously gone through extreme weight loss; and with a lot of her confidence regained, decided it was time to look into aesthetically enhancing her body. During weight loss, our bodies go through a lot of change, but don’t always leave us positive with our overall image. And despite our personal efforts there are certain areas that cannot be “spot-trained”, as this patient experienced herself. After doing so much good for her mental and physical well-being, this patient decided that the time was right to move forward with a cosmetic procedure. When she came in Dr. Burke carefully explained the patient’s options to her, and the patient found comfort in Dr. Burke’s extensive knowledge on healing the body and mind after making a big lifestyle change (i.e. weight loss). It was ultimately decided that the best surgical plan for this patient would be an arm lift (brachioplasty) in conjunction with liposuction. Carefully considering what was discussed in her consultation, this patient scheduled her surgery in late winter in order to be ready to show off her results in the Spring and Summer months. Her result was beautiful, leaving very faint scarring and her the most confident she had felt in years.
