Arm Lift New York, NY | David L. Abramson, MD

What Is an Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)?

An arm lift, clinically known as brachioplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to slim and reshape the arms from the elbow to the shoulder. This surgical technique addresses excess skin and tissue, particularly for patients who have experienced significant weight loss or have genetic predispositions to larger upper arms.

Is an Arm Lift Right for You?

Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery are adults with significant skin laxity in the upper arms. Patients should be in good health, maintain a stable weight, and have realistic expectations about the procedure's outcomes.

Surgical Procedure

The arm lift procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Abramson carefully places incisions to minimize visible scarring, removes excess skin and tissue, and reshapes the underlying supportive structures to create a smoother, more contoured arm appearance.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial recovery to take approximately 5-7 days, with full results becoming visible after several months. Compression garments and follow-up instructions help ensure optimal healing and outcomes.

Combination Procedures

Dr. Abramson often recommends combining arm lift with liposuction to provide comprehensive body contouring results, addressing both excess skin and stubborn fat deposits.

Consultation and Preparation

A thorough consultation with Dr. Abramson will help determine your candidacy and develop a personalized treatment plan. Patients are advised to maintain a stable weight and follow pre-surgical instructions carefully.
