Brachioplasty Newton, MD | New England Plastic Surgical Associates

Understanding Arm Lift Procedures

New England Plastic Surgical Associates offers brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, for patients seeking to address loose, saggy, and disproportionate upper arm appearance. The procedure is designed to help individuals improve arm contours and achieve a more streamlined silhouette.

Arm Lift Candidacy Factors

Multiple factors can influence upper arm appearance, including:

• Genetic predisposition
• Sun exposure effects
• Significant weight fluctuations
• Age-related skin laxity

Arm Lift Surgical Techniques

New England Plastic Surgical Associates utilizes three primary arm lift techniques:

• Liposuction: Ideal for patients with good skin tone and moderate fat deposits
• Minimal Incision Arm Lift: Addresses mild skin redundancy with limited scarring
• Classic Brachioplasty: Comprehensive approach for significant skin excess

Surgical Approach Details

The surgical technique depends on individual patient anatomy and aesthetic goals. Liposuction can effectively remove excess fat, while more extensive procedures address significant skin laxity. Surgeons carefully evaluate skin quality, fat distribution, and patient expectations to recommend the most appropriate approach.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can anticipate temporary swelling and bruising following the procedure. Compression garments are typically recommended to support healing and optimize contouring. Most patients return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks, with complete recovery occurring over several months.

Potential Procedure Benefits

• Improved arm contour and proportion
• Reduced skin redundancy
• Enhanced clothing fit and comfort
• Increased self-confidence
