Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) Huntingdon Valley, PA | DiBello Plastic Surgery - Joseph N. DiBello, MD

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Weight fluctuations, aging, and genetics can cause upper arms to develop a drooping, sagging appearance. While exercise strengthens muscle tone, it cannot address excess skin with reduced elasticity, weakened tissues, or localized fat deposits.

What is an Arm Lift?

An arm lift surgically reduces excess skin and underlying fat between the underarm and elbow, reshaping the arm to create smoother, tighter skin and more natural contours. Board-certified plastic surgeon Joseph DiBello, MD typically combines tumescent power-assisted liposuction with arm lift surgery to enhance overall results.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

• Individuals with loose, excess upper arm skin
• Patients with stubborn fat deposits in arm area
• Healthy individuals at a stable body weight
• Those seeking improved arm aesthetics and self-confidence

Surgical Procedure Details

Arm lift surgery is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. Dr. DiBello makes an incision along the inside of the upper arm, removing excess skin and fat. Liposuction techniques are often used to sculpt smoother, more natural-looking arm contours.

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery involves managing swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Patients should expect some scarring, which can be minimized through proper incision care and sun protection. Dr. DiBello recommends limited arm movements during initial healing and provides personalized recovery guidance.

Cost Considerations

The average arm lift surgery at DiBello Plastic Surgery costs approximately $6,400, which includes surgical, anesthesia, and hospital fees. Pricing varies based on individual surgical requirements and is considered a cosmetic procedure typically not covered by insurance.
