Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) in Hewlett, Long Island

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat and loose skin from the upper arm. This treatment effectively addresses sagging tissues resulting from aging or significant weight loss, eliminating the undesirable "wave" effect when raising the arm.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

Brachioplasty is an excellent option for healthy adult men and women experiencing:

• Loose, excess skin on the underside of the upper arm
• Reduced skin elasticity due to aging
• Substantial weight loss resulting in skin laxity

Surgical Approach and Technique

Dr. Gerut performs arm lift surgery in his accredited surgical suite located in Hewlett, Long Island. The procedure typically involves:

• General anesthesia administration
• Strategic incision placement on the upper arm
• Precise liposuction to reduce tissue volume
• Careful removal of excess skin and tissues

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery involves wearing a compression garment for 4-6 weeks. Patients can typically resume light activities quickly, with full exercise capabilities restored after 4-6 weeks. While arm lift scars are more visible, the procedure can dramatically improve body contour and self-confidence.

Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

Patients can expect improved arm aesthetics, increased comfort in clothing, and enhanced self-perception. The procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals feeling self-conscious about sagging upper arms in short sleeves or swimwear.
