Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) in East Rochester, NY | Graham Plastic Surgery

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess hanging tissues of the upper arm. The technique effectively reshapes the arm from the elbow to the underarm region, often incorporating liposculpting to reduce and further contour the arms.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift

The ideal arm lift candidate typically experiences:

• Loss of skin elasticity in upper arms
• Significant weight loss with stretched skin
• Hereditary or age-related skin sagging

Key Candidate Characteristics

• Healthy individuals without healing-impairing medical conditions
• Non-smokers with stable weight
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Procedure Details

Graham Plastic Surgery performs arm lift surgery by making an incision on the inside of the upper arm. Excess skin and soft tissue are carefully removed, resulting in a hidden scar and improved arm contour.

Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

• Targeted body contouring
• Removal of hanging, loose skin
• Elimination of stubborn fat deposits
• Enhanced body shape and silhouette
• Improved self-confidence

Recovery and Results

Recovery time varies based on individual circumstances and work requirements. Typically, office workers require 1-2 weeks of recovery, while those performing physical labor might need 4-6 weeks. Patients cannot lift over 10 pounds for 8 weeks and should avoid running for 4 weeks.

Long-Term Results

Arm lift results can be long-lasting for patients committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle and avoiding significant weight fluctuations.
