Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Manhasset, NY | Dr. Arnold S. Breitbart, MD

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Dr. Arnold Breitbart offers advanced arm lift surgery for patients seeking to remove excess loose and hanging skin, tighten underlying tissues, and create a more defined arm contour. This transformative procedure can effectively reshape and refine arm appearance for individuals struggling with skin laxity.

Surgical Technique

The arm lift procedure is customized based on the extent of skin excess. Depending on individual patient needs, incisions may be strategically placed in one of two primary configurations:

• Armpit-only incisions for minimal skin removal
• Extended incisions from armpit to near the elbow for more comprehensive skin tightening

Comprehensive Body Contouring

Arm lift surgery often incorporates liposuction to remove excess fat, providing a comprehensive approach to arm reshaping. This combination technique ensures optimal aesthetic results and improved body proportion.

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients can return to work within one week following the procedure. Dr. Breitbart recommends avoiding heavy lifting for several weeks to support proper healing and minimize complications.

Candidacy Considerations

Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery are individuals with excess skin and body fat that remain unresponsive to diet and exercise. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Breitbart will determine personal suitability for the procedure.
