Arm Lift Boston, MD | JL Plastic Surgery - Jeffrey Lee, MD

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the contour of the upper arm between the shoulder and elbow. JL Plastic Surgery specializes in transforming loose and flabby arm skin into sleek, toned appearances.

Procedure Overview

Arm lift surgery involves strategic removal of excess fat and skin from the upper arm area. Dr. Lee carefully places incisions from the underarm to the elbow, positioning scars on the inner arm to minimize visibility when arms are at rest.

Key Surgical Techniques

• Precise incision placement to minimize scarring
• Combination of liposuction and skin removal
• Specialized nerve protection techniques
• Customized approach based on individual anatomy

Ideal Candidates

Candidates for arm lift surgery typically experience significant skin laxity in the upper arm region. Factors such as aging, weight fluctuations, and genetic predisposition can contribute to excess skin that may benefit from surgical intervention.

Recovery Expectations

Patients can expect approximately one week of recovery time, with most individuals returning to normal activities relatively quickly. Dr. Lee recommends wearing a compressive garment for four weeks to manage swelling and support optimal healing.

Potential Surgical Considerations

An important aspect of arm lift surgery involves protecting the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve, which supplies sensation to the forearm. Dr. Lee utilizes advanced techniques to minimize potential nerve injury during the procedure.

Cost Considerations

Arm lift pricing varies based on individual surgical requirements, patient anatomy, and specific techniques employed. A personalized consultation with Dr. Lee will provide the most accurate cost estimation for your unique case.
