Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Beverly Hills, CA | Dr. Neal Handel MD

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce and remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms. The procedure reshapes and tones the arm, creating a smoother, tighter, and more youthful appearance.

Arm Lift Candidacy

Patients with excessive upper arm fat or significant skin laxity may be ideal candidates for arm lift surgery. In severe cases, patients might experience a "bat-wing" deformity, where redundant skin creates physical discomfort and impacts self-confidence.

Surgical Approaches

Dr. Neal Handel offers multiple arm lift techniques based on individual patient needs:

• Liposuction for mild cases with minimal skin laxity
• Surgical skin removal and contouring for advanced cases
• Carefully designed incisions to minimize visible scarring

Surgical Technique Details

For patients with minimal fat accumulation, liposuction can be performed through a tiny incision near the elbow. More advanced cases require surgical incisions from the armpit to the elbow, allowing for comprehensive skin and fat removal.

Recovery and Results

While the procedure leaves a surgical scar, Dr. Handel strategically places incisions on the inner arm to minimize visibility. Over time, scars typically fade and become less noticeable, revealing a more contoured arm profile.
