Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

Do you stop waving, but the fat on your arms keeps moving? Maybe you’ve even stopped wearing short sleeves or sleeveless clothing for this reason. At East End Plastic Surgery & Laser Center in Suffolk County, NY, board-certified Long Island plastic surgeon, Dr. Judy Emanuele, has performed many successful arm lift (brachioplasty) procedures on both men and women. Dr. Emanuele considers brachioplasty to be one of the best cosmetic choices for trimmer, more toned arms.

This procedure reduces excess fat and skin on the arms, helping to reveal the defined, attractive muscles underneath. An arm lift literally reshapes the under portion of the upper arm, from the underarm region to the elbow. The smoother, tighter contours that stem from brachioplasty are apparent almost immediately following your procedure and, for most patients, yield permanent results.

If you’re bothered by sagging skin and fat on the arms, you may be a candidate for brachioplasty. Whether the results you seek are subtle or dramatic, an arm lift at East End Plastic Surgery & Laser Center can help you achieve shapely, lean arms and greater overall satisfaction with your appearance.

Commonly Asked Questions - Arm Lift (Brachioplasty):

What is a Brachioplasty?

A brachioplasty procedure is a safe, effective choice for trimmer, more toned looking arms. During a brachioplasty, incisions are made in the treatment area. Depending on the amount of excess skin, the incision length and position can vary. The underlying supportive tissue is tightened and reshaped and then the skin is smoothed over the new contour and shape of the arm. The brachioplasty procedure can be performed without general anesthesia.

How long does an arm lift last?

Brachioplasty results vary depending on many conditions such as age, fitness level and weight gain. Most improvements however should be relatively permanent.

How soon will I see results?

Results can be seen almost immediately after any post-treatment swelling has subsided. Sagging will be eliminated or reduced in the treated area resulting in a trimmer, more toned look.

What are the risks associated with an arm lift?

All surgery carries a small level of risk. An arm lift, under normal circumstances, is very safe – patients are carefully selected and East End Plastic Surgery & Laser Center is professionally staffed and properly equipped.
