Swiss Leading Plastic Surgery®S.L.P.S Verified

Swiss Leading Plastic Surgery (S.L.P.S) is led by Dr. Michael A. Boss — a leading international Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgeon, who graduated from University of Bern Medical School and received his Swiss and European Board Certification in 1998 (after international training in Switzerland, USA, Canada, UK and Belgium).

Words cannot explain how happy I am with everything Dr. Boss has done for me. I have been treated like and individual and Dr. Boss has listened to me and explained to me the process I was having done. The time I wait to see Dr. Boss has never been long, and when it is my turn Dr. Boss gives me his full attention and time. Dr. Boss cares and it shows in his work and attitude towards me. He is the best! I can’t believe that someone so famous is also such a genuinely nice person!
July 2016
I can’t say enough about Dr. Boss and his staff. I was made to feel comfortable every step of the way. The nurses and anesthetist were wonderful on the day of surgery and set me completely at ease. I am VERY pleased with my experience and would recommend Dr. Boss to anyone interested in plastic surgery. P.S. I had constricted breasts, which are difficult to “reverse”, and I am happy to report that I now look natural and symmetric.

What is Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)?

The objective of the arm lift (also known as Brachioplasty) procedure is to improve the contour in the upper arm by lifting and removing excess fat and skin that has lost its elasticity due to age or fluctuation in weight.

 

A Good Candidate for Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

Good Candidates for arm lift surgery are healthy non-smoking individuals that are over the age of 18.

 

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) Procedure

The first step is a detailed consultation with your surgeon who will discourse with you the best method(s) to achieve your desired end results. Incisions are made on the inner part of each arm. The lengths of the incisions depend on the amount of skin that needs to be removed. Occasionally, incisions are made from the inside of the upper arm, all the way down to the inner elbow.

 

Excess skin is either cut out surgically, or if stubborn fat deposits are present, the surgeon may choose to remove them via liposuction. Incisions are closed with dissolvable or removable stitches, in which case the patient may or may not be required to return to the hospital for a follow-up visit to have the stitches removed.

 

This procedure is outpatient, which means that the patient can return home the same day of the surgery, unless advised otherwise by the doctor.

 

Average Duration of Arm lift Surgery: 2 hours
