Arm Lift is offered by the board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Steven Levine.
Arm lift plastic surgery (Brachioplasty) is offered by Dr. Steven Levine. A Brachioplasty is a body contouring procedure to reduce the upper arm’s circumference, reshape the arm, and remove loose skin and unwanted fat deposits.
Arm lift plastic surgery targets the inner sides of the upper arms, which are resistant to most forms of weight training.
Upper arm lift plastic surgery will tighten and reshape sagging, loose skin, and improve the arm’s contour.
- The surgical incision will be hidden along the inner arm or in the axilla (armpit) – this is called a “keyhole scar” – making it barely visible during most activities and when your arms rest naturally at your sides.
Please note: If there is an excess amount of fat present in your arms, liposuction will need to be included in the procedure.
Benefits include:
- Reduces the circumference of the arms
- Removes loose underarm skin (hanging skin under the arm)
- Reduces fat in the upper arms
- Improved arm contour – more defined arms
- Creates a significantly better-contoured arm shape
- Allows clothes to fit better and more comfortably
- Improves self-confidence
Arm lift plastic surgery will usually take around 2 hours, depending on the extent of surgery required, and whether any other procedures, such as liposuction are required.
- Recovery from arm lift surgery is typically about 1 week.
