Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Little Silver, NJ | Dr. Peter T. Hetzler, M.D., FACS

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Fluctuations in weight, aging, and heredity can cause significant changes in upper arm appearance. An arm lift, technically known as brachioplasty, addresses drooping, sagging skin that cannot be corrected through exercise alone.

What is an Arm Lift?

An arm lift is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the upper arm region from the underarm to the elbow. The primary objectives include:

• Reducing excess sagging skin
• Tightening underlying supportive tissue
• Removing localized fat deposits

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

Optimal candidates for brachioplasty typically include:

• Adults with stable body weight
• Individuals in good overall health
• Non-smokers with realistic expectations
• Patients seeking improved arm contour

Surgical Procedure Overview

Dr. Hetzler performs arm lift surgery using carefully planned incisions, typically placed on the inside of the upper arm. The procedure involves removing excess skin, tightening underlying tissues, and potentially using liposuction to refine arm contours.

Recovery and Results

Post-surgical recovery requires careful management. Patients can expect some initial swelling and bruising, with full results gradually emerging over several weeks to months. The procedure offers long-lasting improvements when combined with a stable lifestyle.

Potential Considerations

While an arm lift can dramatically improve body contour, patients should understand that the procedure results in surgical scars. Dr. Hetzler carefully minimizes and places incisions to ensure the most aesthetically pleasing outcome possible.
