Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) New York, NY | Thomas P. Sterry, MD

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery in Manhattan

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a transformative body contouring procedure designed to remove excess skin from the upper arms. Ideal for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, this surgical technique helps patients achieve slimmer, more defined arm contours.

Who Benefits from Arm Lift Surgery?

• Individuals with loose, hanging skin after substantial weight loss
• Patients seeking improved arm definition and appearance
• Those unable to achieve desired arm shape through diet and exercise

Arm Lift Surgical Techniques

Dr. Thomas Sterry employs advanced brachioplasty techniques tailored to each patient's unique anatomy. The procedure typically involves:

• Removing excess skin and fatty tissue
• Creating an "L" shaped scar from axilla to elbow
• Utilizing supportive deep sutures to minimize scarring

Why Choose Arm Lift Over Liposuction?

For post-weight loss patients, arm lift surgery is significantly more effective than liposuction. While liposuction removes fat, brachioplasty addresses the underlying issue of excess skin, providing comprehensive body contouring results.

Scar Considerations

Patients should understand that arm lift surgery involves a surgical scar. However, Dr. Sterry strategically places incisions to minimize visibility, typically creating a scar that is only noticeable when the arm is raised and rotated outward.
