Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) New York, NY | Gary S. Berger MD FACS

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Brachioplasty is a surgical procedure designed to recontour and reshape the arms by removing excess skin and fat. This transformative body sculpting technique addresses areas of loose or sagging skin that cannot be corrected through diet and exercise.

Procedure Details

• Typically performed under general anesthesia or deep sedation
• Incision placed in the most inconspicuous location (inner arm toward the back)
• Incision may run from near the elbow into the armpit
• Occasional short scar version possible, with scar located in armpit crease

Surgical Approach

Dr. Berger carefully evaluates each patient to determine the most appropriate surgical technique. The goal is to create a more toned and proportionate arm contour while minimizing visible scarring.

Surgical Considerations

Some scarring is almost always visible with a traditional arm lift. The extent and visibility of scarring depend on individual patient characteristics and the specific surgical approach used.
