Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Surgery in Westchester

Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a plastic surgery procedure that creates a firmer and more toned appearance in the upper arm area. This is achieved by removing excess skin and fat, effectively addressing sagging that may result from significant weight loss or the natural aging process.

Expert Arm Lift Surgery with Dr. Andrew Kleinman

Dr. Andrew Kleinman is a board-certified plastic surgeon based in Westchester County with extensive experience in brachioplasty procedures. He is dedicated to helping patients achieve their aesthetic goals through personalized treatment plans tailored to individual needs. As with any surgical procedure, candidates for arm lift surgery should be in good overall health and maintain realistic expectations about the outcomes.

Arm Lift Procedure Details

• Typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia
• Surgery usually takes 1-2 hours to complete
• Incision is made on the inside of the arm, with length depending on the amount of excess skin
• Excess skin is removed and liposuction may be used to eliminate excess fat

Recovery After Brachioplasty

• Bruising and swelling typically subside within 2-4 weeks
• Mild to moderate discomfort may occur in the first 2-5 days, manageable with medication
• Stitches are usually removed within one week
• Most patients return to work within 3-7 days

For patients with excess fat but no loose skin in the upper arms, liposuction alone may be a suitable alternative to a full arm lift procedure. Dr. Kleinman will assess each patient's unique situation to recommend the most appropriate treatment option.
