Brachioplasty
Conveniently located to serve the areas of New Jersey and the Tri-state Area
A Brachioplasty, or arm lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure for patients that have excess sagging arm skin that droops downward. The goal of this tailor-like surgery is to remove skin to tighten and smooth the underlying supportive tissue that defines the shape of the upper, therefore reducing the overall circumference of the arm while making the area more firm and toned. When the underside of the upper arm is reshaped, the area looks younger. This can oftentimes be combined with liposuction to reduce localized pockets of fat in the upper arm region as well.
Our surgeons are able to assess the best combination and extent of an arm lift surgery that may be right for you, schedule a consultation today.

FAQ
“Set your wings free, embrace your sculpted confidence!”
Who is a good candidate for an arm lift?
Good candidates for an arm lift are individuals who have loose or sagging skin on their upper arms, often due to weight loss, aging, or genetics. Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure.
Will there be visible scarring after an arm lift?
While incisions are necessary for an arm lift, the scars are generally well-concealed on the inner or backside of the arm. The appearance of scars can vary depending on individual healing and post-operative care, but they often fade over time.
Can exercise and weightlifting replace the need for an arm lift?
While exercise and weightlifting can help improve muscle tone, they cannot remove excess skin or address significant sagging of the upper arms. An arm lift is often the most effective way to achieve the desired results for those with loose skin in the area.
Will I have visible scars when wearing short sleeves after an arm lift?
In the initial stages of healing, scars from an arm lift may be more visible. However, with proper scar care and over time, the scars tend to fade and become less noticeable. Most patients are comfortable wearing short sleeves after they have fully healed.
