Understanding Arm Lift Surgery in South Jersey

Are sagging, excess arm skin making you feel self-conscious? Cornerstone Plastic Surgery offers advanced arm lift techniques to help patients reclaim their confidence and achieve toned, well-contoured arms.

What is an Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)?

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms. This technique is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing significant weight loss, aging, or natural skin laxity.

Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

• Firmer, more toned arm appearance
• Increased confidence in sleeveless clothing
• Long-lasting results with stable weight maintenance
• Elimination of "batwing" skin excess

Types of Arm Lift Procedures

Cornerstone Minimal Scar Arm Lift

Dr. Coville's innovative method is ideal for mature patients or those with substantial weight loss. This technique removes extra skin with a tensionless closure, resulting in a very fine, almost invisible scar.

Mini Arm Lift

Perfect for patients with minimal sagging, this procedure involves small incisions near the armpit, offering subtle improvement with minimal scarring.

Full Arm Lift

Involves an incision from armpit to elbow, addressing moderate to severe sagging by removing excess skin and fat while reshaping the entire upper arm.

Surgical Procedure Overview

During the arm lift procedure, patients are kept comfortable under general anesthesia. Dr. Coville strategically removes excess skin through carefully placed incisions, typically along the inner arm. The surgery generally takes approximately 1.5 hours.

Recovery and Results

Most patients can return to work within one week, with gradual resumption of normal activities. Compression garments help manage swelling and support healing. Scars will fade over time but will not completely disappear.

Am I a Good Candidate?

Ideal candidates are healthy individuals with realistic expectations who want to improve arm contour. Factors like overall health, skin elasticity, and weight stability are considered during the consultation process.

Non-Surgical Alternatives

For some patients, non-invasive options like BodyTite might provide moderate skin tightening and fat reduction. Dr. Coville can discuss these alternatives during your personalized consultation.
