Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Saratoga Springs, NY | Dr. Jeffrey Ridha M.D.

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the upper arm. This transformative technique addresses multiple aesthetic concerns by targeting the area from the underarm region to the elbow.

Key Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

• Reduces excess sagging skin
• Eliminates localized pockets of fat in the upper arm
• Tightens and smoothes underlying supportive tissue
• Defines and contours the upper arm's shape

Procedure Overview

Arm lift surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under sedation or general anesthesia. Dr. Jeffrey Ridha, a double board-certified plastic surgeon, creates strategic incisions along the inside or back of the upper arm to remove excess skin and fat.

Surgical Considerations

• Requires pre-arranged transportation to and from surgery
• Involves careful incision placement to minimize visible scarring
• May include additional targeted incisions for optimal contouring
• Includes post-operative care instructions and follow-up visits

Expert Surgical Approach

Dr. Ridha brings extensive expertise to arm lift procedures, having graduated valedictorian from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. His approach combines technical precision with personalized patient care, ensuring comprehensive surgical outcomes.

What to Expect During Consultation

Your initial consultation will include a comprehensive evaluation, including:

• Detailed discussion of your aesthetic goals
• Physical examination of arm structure
• Review of potential surgical risks and benefits
• Personalized surgical planning

Recovery and Results

Arm lift results are immediately visible and long-lasting. Patients can expect improved arm contour and reduced skin laxity. Natural aging may cause some gradual changes, but the fundamental surgical improvements remain significant.
