Arm Lift
What is an Arm Lift
An arm lift, technically called a brachioplasty, is a type of body contouring surgery that targets pesky upper arm flab, leaving you with smooth, sleek results. During the procedure, your best surgeon in NYC removes unwanted fat and then makes an incision in your arm to tighten the skin, creating a tauter profile. Brachioplasty is similar to other forms of body contouring procedures, such as a:
- Buttock augmentation
- Lower body lift
- Trunkplasty
- Love handles liposuction
- Breast plastic surgery
- Mommy makeover
Thanks to anesthesia, you don’t feel a thing during your arm lift procedure. Moderate pain, swelling and bruising in your arms afterward are normal, temporary and manageable. The aesthetic results of your arm lift are immediate. Once your sagging arms are gone, you won’t need an excuse to show off your new upper arms.
Brachioplasty is the answer to your upper arm insecurities. If you’re longing for tighter and sleeker upper arms, consider brachioplasty in NYC. Visit Dr. David Shokrian, as his expertise and state-of-the-art facility make Millennial Plastic Surgery the place to go for arm lift surgery in NYC.

Why Would I Get an Arm Lift?
An arm lift transforms the aesthetic appeal of your upper arms. Your sagging, loose arms are reconstructed to achieve a slim, contoured look. When you look in the mirror after having an arm lift, you notice:
Tighter-looking arms.
Your arms appear tauter and artfully contoured.
Stronger-looking arms.
Brachioplasty leaves you with arms that better define your upper arm muscles.
Smoother-looking arms.
Arm lifts involve reshaping the tissue in your upper arm, which removes concentrated pockets of fat.
Improved upper body proportions.
Your surgeon re-sculpts your arms to better fit with the rest of your body.
You enjoy the aesthetic benefits of an arm lift surgery immediately after the procedure. Beyond the aesthetic improvements, an arm lift gives you the confidence to rock sleeveless ensembles you may have previously left hidden in your closet. You’ll love the way you look in your favorite swimsuits, tank tops and sleeveless dresses.

What Causes Unsightly Sagging Arms?
As you age and your weight fluctuates, your skin naturally stretches. When you lose weight, your skin may not snap back the way it used to. As a result, you may be left with unwanted folds of skin tissue that hang from your body. The most common places on the body to find sagging skin include your:
Upper arms.
An arm lift targets unwelcome skin hanging from your upper arms.
Inner thighs.
An inner thigh lift treats any sagging present in your inner thighs.
Chin.
Treatments for excess skin under your chin include a neck lift.
Tummy.
If you have a little pooch at the base of your belly, a abdominoplasty surgery eliminates that fat and your sagging belly skin.
Some people choose arm liposuction alone to achieve slimmer arms. An arm liposuction removes fat without surgically lifting the skin. It’s more effective if you’re younger and have more elasticity in your skin. With multiple treatment options available, including invisible arm lift surgery, the days of hiding your arms under bulky sleeves will be over.
What Does Recovery from Arm Lift Surgery Entail?
Recovery from arm lift surgery focuses on rest and taking care of yourself. It’s likely you can return to normal daily activities around two days after undergoing your brachioplasty. Soreness may persist for 10 days to two weeks. After your arm lift surgery, you can expect to:
Return home the same day.
Most people return home the same day as their arm lift surgery. If you’re ready to return home the same day, arrange for a friend or loved one to drive you.
Rest.
You’re going to need your beauty sleep. Sleep on your back in a slightly elevated position to avoid putting pressure on your incision sites and to maintain even blood flow. You may have small tubes under your skin to help drain extra fluid.
Have minimal side effects.
If fluid drains from the incision site, it’s normal. You can expect some level of pain, swelling and bruising. Communicate with your doctor about any redness on your arm, severe draining or a fever. Alert your doctor if you feel shortness of breath or chest pain.
Practice basic first aid.
Regularly changing your bandages keeps the incision clean. One to two days after surgery, when your surgical bandages come off, you can start taking showers again. Hold off on taking a bath or going swimming for two to four weeks to avoid possible infection.
Eat well.
A healthy diet is a crucial aspect of the healing process.
Wear a compression garment.
A compression sleeve after surgery suppresses swelling and promotes your blood flow. Expect to wear one for about two weeks.
Go easy on your arm.
Avoid putting pressure on your arm, especially the incision points, until it’s healed. Your doctor tells you how much movement you can handle post-op.
Let someone else drive.
You shouldn’t drive for several days, up to one week, after your arm lift.
See instant results.
Your arms immediately appear tighter and more toned, but your final results take longer.
