Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) Columbia, MD | Dr. Barry J. Cohen

Understanding Brachioplasty: Sculpting Confident Arms

Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a transformative body-contouring plastic surgery designed to remove excess drooping skin and eliminate stubborn fat deposits in the upper arm region. Dr. Barry J. Cohen specializes in this precise surgical technique to help patients achieve more streamlined, attractive arm contours.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

• Individuals experiencing significant skin laxity in upper arms
• Patients who feel self-conscious about arm appearance
• Non-smokers in good overall health
• Those with stable body weight

Comprehensive Brachioplasty Procedure

The arm lift procedure involves strategic incision placement, typically beginning in the armpit and extending along the inner arm. Dr. Cohen carefully removes excess skin and fat, then meticulously reshapes the underlying supportive tissue to create a more refined arm contour.

Surgical Techniques

• Precise pre-surgical markings to guide incisions
• General anesthesia administration
• Targeted tissue removal and liposuction
• Skin redrapement and careful suturing

Recovery and Healing Process

Successful brachioplasty recovery requires patience and following Dr. Cohen's specific post-operative instructions. Patients typically need one week off work and should avoid strenuous activities for four to six weeks.

Post-Surgical Care Recommendations

• Elevate arms for initial three days to minimize swelling
• Wear prescribed compression garments
• Attend follow-up appointments
• Gradually resume normal activities
