Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Melville, NY | James N. Romanelli, MD, FACS

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

North Shore® Cosmetic Surgery offers expert arm lift surgery, or brachioplasty, to help patients reclaim their arms' youthful appearance. This customized surgical procedure tightens and tones the upper arms when diet and exercise cannot resolve lax skin from the elbow to the shoulder.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate?

Candidates for arm lift surgery typically experience:

• Flabby upper arms
• Loose skin on upper arms
• Difficulty wearing sleeveless clothing
• Loss of upper arm definition
• Self-consciousness about arm appearance

Surgical Technique

The arm lift procedure is performed under general anesthesia in North Shore® Cosmetic Surgery's private outpatient facility. Surgeons carefully remove excess skin and, when necessary, utilize liposuction to eliminate stubborn fatty deposits. The incision is strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.

Recovery and Expectations

Typical recovery spans approximately two weeks, with patients gradually returning to normal activities. Compression garments are essential during healing, and patients are advised to avoid strenuous exercise for at least one month following the procedure.
