The procedure typically commences with a comprehensive consultation between Dr. Creech and the patient, where individual goals and expectations are discussed. Once a personalized treatment plan is established, the surgery begins with the administration of anesthesia to ensure the patient's comfort throughout the process.
Dr. Creech employs precise incisions strategically placed along the inner or back of the arms, allowing for discreet scarring. The extent of incisions is determined by the amount of excess skin to be removed. Through these incisions, he skillfully excises redundant skin and addresses localized fat deposits. In some cases, liposuction may be incorporated to enhance contouring.
The underlying supportive tissues are then tightened and reshaped to create a firm and natural appearance. Dr. Creech pays meticulous attention to detail, ensuring symmetry and proportionality in the final results. Post-surgery, the incisions are meticulously closed, and patients are provided with postoperative care instructions.
