Arm Lift in Fayetteville, NY | Herring Plastic Surgery

Understanding the Arm Lift Procedure

The arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of flabby or sagging upper arms. This transformative surgery addresses aesthetic concerns by removing excess skin and fat, resulting in tighter, more contoured arm appearance.

Reasons for Arm Lift Surgery

• Correct skin laxity after significant weight loss
• Reduce excess skin and fat in upper arm region
• Improve arm definition and body proportions
• Enhance confidence in wearing sleeveless clothing

Surgical Technique and Approach

Herring Plastic Surgery performs arm lift procedures with strategic incision placement, typically on the inside of the arm. This technique minimizes visible scarring while effectively removing excess skin and fat. The specific incision design is customized based on the patient's unique anatomical characteristics and aesthetic goals.

Anesthesia and Procedure Details

The arm lift can be performed using sedation with local anesthesia or general anesthesia, depending on the patient's specific needs and medical requirements. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed oral pain medication.

Recovery and Post-Surgical Expectations

Following an arm lift procedure, patients can anticipate mild swelling and bruising. Most individuals can resume daily activities within 24 hours, though vigorous physical activities are typically restricted for approximately three weeks to ensure proper healing.

Candidacy for Arm Lift Surgery

Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery include individuals experiencing significant skin laxity due to aging, weight loss, or genetic factors. A comprehensive consultation with Herring Plastic Surgery will determine the most appropriate surgical approach for each patient.
