Arm Lift Hyannis, MD | Dr. Seth R. Jones

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms. This transformative body contouring technique helps patients achieve more toned and streamlined arm aesthetics.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift

Arm lift surgery is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing:

• Significant weight loss resulting in loose arm skin
• Sagging or drooping upper arm skin due to aging
• Genetic predisposition to excess arm skin
• Difficulty achieving desired arm definition through exercise

Surgical Procedure Details

Cape & Islands Plastic Surgery performs arm lift procedures under general anesthesia. The surgical approach involves an incision running from near the elbow into the armpit, strategically placed to minimize visible scarring. Patients should carefully consider the trade-off between improved arm contour and potential surgical scarring.

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

Most arm lift patients can return home the same day of surgery. Typical recovery guidelines include:

• Two-week work absence recommended
• Light walking permitted around 5 days post-surgery
• Full exercise resumption around 6 weeks
• Gradual return to arm-specific activities
