About Arm Lift Surgery

Excess skin on the upper arms can be a challenging aesthetic concern for individuals who have lost weight or are experiencing age-related skin laxity. At Kouris M.D. Cosmetic Plastic Surgery, arm lift surgery (brachioplasty) offers a comprehensive solution for patients struggling to tighten and tone their arm contours through diet and exercise.

Key Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

Remove excess skin from elbow to shoulder
Eliminate "bat wing" appearance
Improve upper arm aesthetic contours
Enhance body confidence

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift

The ideal arm lift candidate is an individual in good overall health with:

Significant excess skin on upper arms
Minimal skin elasticity
Stable body weight
Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Technique

Dr. George Kouris performs arm lift surgery under general anesthesia, typically in an outpatient facility. The procedure involves carefully excising excess skin from the elbow to the armpit, potentially incorporating liposuction to address stubborn fatty deposits. Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.

Recovery Expectations

Recovery generally requires approximately two weeks of rest. Patients must wear compression garments and avoid strenuous activities. Dr. Kouris recommends gradual return to normal activities and will provide personalized post-operative guidance.

Treatment Considerations

While arm lift surgery effectively addresses skin laxity, patients are encouraged to maintain a stable weight and incorporate strength training to optimize and preserve surgical results.

Potential Combination Procedures

Arm lift surgery can be combined with other body contouring procedures like liposuction, breast lift, or tummy tuck, particularly for patients who have undergone significant weight loss.

Non-Surgical Alternatives

Although non-invasive skin tightening treatments exist, they provide minimal improvements compared to surgical arm lift procedures. Dr. Kouris can discuss these options during an initial consultation.

Procedure Overview

Average Cost: $8,000 - $12,000
Recovery Time: 2-4 weeks
Procedure Duration: 2-4 hours
Location: Outpatient facility

Being so young & wanting a breast lift, I went to multiple consultations. When I met Dr. Kouris, I knew he was the one. He made me feel comfortable & explained everything very well. He was able to help me envision realistic results. He was very attentive during my post op & I couldn’t be happier with my results. He’s a very talented doctor, highly recommend.

I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Kouris. He is extremely skilled, brilliant, and artistic. He is hands down the best surgeon. I researched plastic surgeons for a breast reduction with removal of implants. After narrowing my search, I interviewed and had consultations with 6 different plastic surgeons. I was very OCD with this process, as a decade earlier I had a poor experience with a surgeon who is now retired. Dr Kouris’ experience with breast surgery is bar none. A large portion of his surgical history is with RUSH university hospital where he performed the more complicated and reconstructive cases/patients. After meeting Dr Kouris in person, I knew immediately he was the person I would trust. Dr. Kouris speaks in laymen’s terms, easy to understand, explained the process and procedure very clearly, the recovery, and demonstrates that he wants the best possible outcome to the patient’s desire. He was very clear, artistic, and I couldn’t be more happy, I am thrilled with the outcome! The recovery, for me, was right on target, and seamless. He removed nearly 6 pounds total, bilaterally. In my younger years, I had undergone countless biopsies and was placed in the high risk breast cancer screening, because my breasts were very fibrous and dense. When Dr. Kouris performed my reduction and implant removal, he informed me he understood why I was screened so often, based on my breast tissue. I do NOT have cancer. He related he removed as much of that type of tissue as possible to help prevent further biopsies if possible. I am now 6 months post op, and I have had my first mammogram. The technicians and radiologist compared my before/after mammograms. They were all impressed and said I no longer have to be in the high risk breast cancer screening. My primary physician and my OBGYN were extremely pleased with my results. So much, they each requested Dr. Kouris’ information so they could refer their future patients. I no longer feel pain, my shoulders aren’t “rounded” anymore from the weight, my clothing fits better and I am just so comfortable. I no longer have an excuse NOT to exercise. The icing on the top, Dr. Kouris is a very nice and pleasant person with a great bedside manner. Anne, His administrative assistant at the office is very welcoming, kind, and easy going. Save yourself hours and hours of the research I have already done and schedule a consultation with Dr. Kouris. His work changed my life

I did extensive research on eye lid surgery before I decided to visit Dr. Kouris. His website, professional background and patient testimony helped me make my decision. During the consultation Dr. Kouris took the time to answer my questions, listen to my concerns and explain realistic results. The entire journey from consultation, pre-op visit, operation and post-op visit was thoroughly explained and closely monitored by Dr. Kouris himself. He has a high level of professionalism and excellent bed side manners. I am very happy with the end result and can highly recommend Dr. Kouris and his staff.
