VERO BEACH, Fla. - Jan. 17, 2014 - PRLog -- According to the most recent ASPS data, in 2012, more than 15,000 women had arm lift procedures showing an increase in brachioplasty of 4,378% since the year 2000. The increase was attributed to a Harris Interactive poll conducted March 28 through April 1, 2013 where women stated they'd most like to have arms like the following women: Michelle Obama (31%), Jennifer Aniston (29%), Jessica Biel (16%), Kelly Ripa (13%) and Demi Moore (11%). Dr. William H. Frazier of Vero Cosmetic Surgery and Medispa, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Vero Beach Florida, has helped to accommodate this growing need for women to have appealing arms, especially in the warm sunny region of South Florida where people will go to great lengths to maintain a youthful appearance, by offering and specializing in arm lifts.

Dr. Frazier understands and acknowledges how women are affected by the people they see most often on television and media. The most attractive features of prominent people greatly influence the perspective of beauty and the standards of appealing aesthetic qualities. The trend is fueled by sleeveless fashions for women and increased attention on toned-armed celebrities

Dr. Frazier explained how the procedure is performed the and the pyschology behind the procedure's success, "An arm lift can be performed to tuck and tighten unattractive upper arms. This procedure helps people who have sagging skin that hangs from the upper arms. It also reduces the size and thickness of the upper arm so clothes fit more comfortably." He went on to say, "A new arm contour improves your appearance and allows you to hold your arms up with confidence."

This is very consistent with recent comments by ASPS Public Education Committee Chair David Reath, MD, based in Knoxville, Tenn, "I think we are always affected by the people that we see consistently, either on the big screen or on TV. We see them and think, ‘yeah, I'd like to look like that'."

Good candidates for Brachioplasty

The procedure is not for everyone. Dr. Frazier explained, "The ideal patient to have an arm lift is a person who has excessive, loose skin on the upper arms that hangs unattractively and is resistant to diet and exercise. The procedure can also reduce the size of the arms by reducing fat volume in addition to the abundance of skin."

If a person's arms are thick but they don't have loose sagging skin Dr. Frazier explains, "As long as the skin is not excessive and has reasonable elasticity, your arms will tolerate fat removal without skin excision."
