If you've ever felt self-conscious about the loose skin or extra fat on your upper arms, especially after weight loss or as the years go by, you're not alone. Medically referred to as a brachioplasty, our New Jersey arm lift is an elective cosmetic surgery procedure that helps eliminate excess fat, skin, and tissue from the arms.
During the procedure, which typically lasts about two hours under general anesthesia, your surgeon will make an incision along the inside or back of your arm, depending on your specific needs. They'll remove the excess fat (sometimes using liposuction) and trim away the loose skin. The remaining skin is then tightened and sutured, resulting in smoother, firmer arms.

An arm lift is more than just a cosmetic procedure; it's a way to help you feel more comfortable and confident in your skin. Whether you're dealing with changes due to weight loss, aging, or genetics, this surgery can address several concerns:
Anyone who is unhappy with the appearance of flabby, drooping skin or "bat wings" on their upper arms can benefit from a brachioplasty. With this simple plastic surgery procedure, you can have taut, smooth arms again.

At New Jersey Plastic Surgery, we understand that every patient is unique. Dr. DiBernardo will work closely with you to tailor the procedure to your specific needs and goals.
If you find the skin on your arms hangs over in folds, sags off your body, or is disproportionately large due to fatty deposits, an arm lift may be for you.
Men and women with excessive fat and skin on their upper arms, who are in general good health, do not smoke, and have a stable body weight, are excellent candidates for a brachioplasty. However, if you have certain medical conditions or are significantly overweight, you may need to address those issues before considering an arm lift. If you'd like to find out if you'd make a good candidate for an arm lift New Jersey plastic surgeons at NJPS can address that and answer any other questions you have during your initial consultation.

The arm lift procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and lasts about two hours. During the surgery, Dr. DiBernardo will make an incision along your arm. From there, he will be able to remove unwanted fat and unnecessary tissue before trimming away the skin, leaving you with tight, sculpted arms.
Recovery from an arm lift varies from person to person, but here's a general idea of what to expect:
Your surgeon will provide detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
You'll start to notice improvements in your arm's appearance almost immediately after surgery, but the final results will become more apparent as swelling subsides over the following weeks. With proper care and a stable weight, the results of an arm lift can be long-lasting. Keep in mind that natural aging and weight fluctuations can affect the longevity of your results.

While there are non-surgical treatments that can tighten skin slightly, they can't remove significant excess skin or fat like a surgical arm lift can. If you're dealing with more advanced sagging, surgery is usually the more effective option.
