Arm Lift in NYC
Also known as arm lift, brachioplasty is a surgical procedure that can reduce localized pockets of fat in the upper arms as well as improve the contour of the upper arms and areas near the armpits. This procedure is also effective for reducing the sagging skin around the above-mentioned regions. Whether you are dealing with sagging skin in the upper arms due to normal aging or after a rapid weight loss process, exercise alone won’t tone the skin. That’s why brachioplasty is your best cosmetic solution for improving the look of your upper arms. Women and men considering arm lift surgery in Westchester, Long Island, or NYC, NY, choose board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Scott Newman to perform their procedures.

Understanding the Procedure
During your initial brachioplasty consultation session, your doctor will examine your body type, the natural contour of your arm, and your skin quality. He or she will then discuss the best treatment procedure to take as well as the realistic results you can expect after the surgery.
There are a few techniques to perform the arm lift procedure, including traditional brachioplasty, extended brachioplasty, superficial facial system suspension, and the minimal incision brachioplasty. Excess fats can be removed via liposuction.
The actual technique used has to depend on many factors such as the amount of sagging skin needed to be removed. For example, patients who have undergone bariatric surgery will be unlikely to undergo the minimal incision brachioplasty method because the excess skin that needs to be removed is usually more since extreme weight loss might have occurred.

- Effective for improving the physical appearance of your upper arms
- Short surgical procedure
- Does not involve lengthy downtime during recovery
- Sagging skin is corrected efficiently

- Enhanced self-esteem for the patient
I have two other friends that went to Dr. Newman and they had exactly the same issues I had. Both of them had body transformations that were nothing short of incredible. When I first made an appointment to meet with Dr. Newman he called me personally before I even met him. Who does that? From that moment on I had a good feeling about him. My initial consultation took about an hour and, honestly, there wasn’t one question I had when I was done. My surgery was scheduled for about two months later and my recovery was not fun- but it was exactly what Dr. Newman prepared me for. There wasn’t one thing I experienced during the first few days that Dr. Newman hadn’t discussed with me beforehand. I work at a law-firm so I am at a computer all day long and I was back at work on the tenth day after my surgery. I am now about 5 months since my surgery and I am completely thrilled. Doing my breast and belly surgery together was definitely the right choice. I am wearing a bathing suit I never thought I’d ever look good in again and it’s an incredible feeling. I would recommend this surgery and this surgeon to anyone. Thanks Dr. Newman!

Are you a good brachioplasty candidate?
In fact, because brachioplasty involves very few risks, adults of all ages can undergo brachioplasty. But if you are above 65 years old, your surgeon may require additional tests to determine your candidacy. Generally, anyone who has flabby arms due to aging or has experienced sagging skin due to rapid weight loss is considered an excellent candidate for this procedure. However, it is pertinent to make sure that your weight is stable before opting for brachioplasty because if your weight is hiking up gradually, your after-procedure results will be affected by the weight hike.
Will scars occur after the procedure?
Scars are unavoidable for any kind of arm lift procedure. However, an experienced surgeon such as Dr. Newman can conceal the incisions so the scars are hardly noticeable. The scars will also fade after eight to twelve months, so scarring is seldom a big concern for patients considering an arm lift.

How long does it take to see arm lift results?
The results can be seen instantly after the surgery, but because of the swelling that normally occurs with a surgical procedure, you should expect to see the best results between two to three months. By this time, the swelling would have gone down, and your skin would have adapted to the new contour of your upper arms. You will definitely notice that your arms look slimmer and more toned – improving the overall look of your physical appearance.
