Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Port Jefferson Station, NY | Hillard Warm, MD, FACS

Understanding Brachioplasty: Arm Lift Procedure

Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure designed to remove loose, hanging skin on the underside of the upper arm. This condition often develops due to aging, significant weight loss, or genetic factors that cause skin laxity.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

The procedure is recommended for patients who experience:

• Excessive hanging skin on upper arms
• Fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
• Significant skin laxity affecting arm contour

Surgical Approach

Hillard Warm, MD, FACS offers a minimal-incision arm lift technique, which provides several advantages over traditional brachioplasty methods. This less invasive approach requires only a smaller incision in the underarm area, minimizing visible scarring.

Brachioplasty Procedure Details

The arm lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation. Depending on the extent of skin and fat removal, most patients can return home the same day of the procedure.

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

After the arm lift surgery, patients will need to wear compression garments to manage swelling. Initial results are visible immediately, but the final aesthetic outcome becomes more apparent as bruising and swelling subside.

Potential Risks and Considerations

As with any surgical procedure, arm lift surgery involves specific risks. During the consultation, Dr. Warm will comprehensively discuss potential complications and individual patient considerations to ensure informed decision-making.
