Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Melville, NY | North Shore Cosmetic Surgery

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery in Long Island

North Shore Cosmetic Surgery performs custom upper arm lift surgery, or brachioplasty, to tighten and tone the arms when diet and exercise cannot achieve desired results. Loose skin from the elbow to the shoulder is a common aesthetic concern, particularly for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or aging.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

Patients considering an arm lift typically have specific aesthetic concerns about their upper arms. Ideal candidates include individuals who:

• Have excess, hanging skin on upper arms
• Experience loss of skin elasticity
• Are at their ideal body weight
• Avoid wearing sleeveless clothing due to arm appearance
• Desire improved arm contour and definition

Arm Lift Procedure Details

The arm lift surgery is typically performed in North Shore Cosmetic Surgery's private outpatient facility under general anesthesia. The procedure involves removing sagging skin from the elbow to the armpit, with incisions strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.

Surgical Techniques

Depending on individual patient needs, the arm lift may include:

• Skin excision to remove excess tissue
• Liposuction to remove stubborn fatty deposits
• Careful tissue repositioning for improved contour

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect a typical recovery period of approximately two weeks. Compression garments must be worn as directed, and patients should limit physical activities during initial healing. Short walks are encouraged, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least one month.
