Understanding Arm Lift Surgery in Monmouth County

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to give upper arms a more toned and slimmer appearance. During this procedure, Dr. Michael Nagy removes excess fat and skin from the upper arms, effectively contouring and tightening the area.

Why Patients Consider Arm Lift Surgery

Over time, soft tissue in the upper arm becomes lax and may begin to droop, resulting in arms that appear loose and hanging. Many individuals seek this procedure to restore a more youthful and refined arm contour.

Ideal Candidates for Brachioplasty

• Patients with significant excess, hanging skin in upper arms
• Individuals maintaining a stable weight
• Those with realistic surgical expectations
• Healthy patients without major medical complications

The Arm Lift Procedure

Dr. Nagy performs arm lift surgery by making an incision along the inside of the upper arm, typically spanning from underarm to elbow. Depending on individual patient needs, he may use liposuction to remove excess fat and then trim and tighten skin.

Surgical Techniques

Two primary arm lift techniques are available:

• Standard arm lift with comprehensive tissue removal
• Minimal incision technique for patients with limited excess skin

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial swelling and bruising, which typically subsides within two weeks. Most individuals experience significant improvement in arm contour and are highly satisfied with their surgical outcome.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While arm lift surgery is generally safe, potential risks include infection, bleeding, anesthesia reactions, and scarring. Dr. Nagy thoroughly discusses these factors during comprehensive consultations.
