Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure designed to remove loose, hanging skin from the upper arms. This condition often develops due to aging, significant weight loss, or weight gain. The procedure is ideal for patients with excessive skin and fat that does not respond to diet and exercise.

Procedure Details

  • Performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation
  • Surgery duration: Two to four hours
  • Same-day discharge possible

Minimal-Incision Arm Lift Technique

For patients requiring minimal skin and fat removal, a less invasive approach is available. This technique involves creating a few small incisions near the underarm, allowing for targeted tissue and fat removal with reduced scarring.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

Candidates typically include individuals who have:

  • Significant skin laxity in the upper arm region
  • Excess fat that does not respond to traditional weight loss methods
  • Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Dr. Kressel and his team are absolutely amazing! I recently had breast augmentation surgery, and from start to finish, the experience was top-notch. While the hospital itself might have some areas for improvement, Dr. Kressel's surgical team was a shining beacon of professionalism and care. They made me feel comfortable and informed every step of the way, and the results are beyond my expectations. I can't recommend Dr. Kressel and his team highly enough – they are truly the best in the business! Thank you for giving me the confidence I've always wanted.

Dr Kressel was the best top surgery surgeon I could have ever asked for! He was kind, respectful, professional, knowledgeable, and it’s clear he’s very experienced. The pre op appointments were clear and comprehensive, and my post op checkups were done with great care and attention. My results came out absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend Dr Kressel to anyone looking to get top / gender affirming surgery!

Dr. Aron Kressel and his exceptional team at Metropolitan Hospital Center exceeded all of my expectations throughout my breast augmentation journey. From the initial consultation to post-operative care, every step of the process was handled with professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. Dr. Aron Kressel took the time to thoroughly understand my goals and concerns, ensuring that I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. On the day of surgery, I felt confident and reassured by the entire team’s competence and support. The results of my breast augmentation are beyond anything I could have imagined - natural, proportionate, and beautifully enhanced. I am thrilled with the outcome and grateful for Dr. Kressel and his team’s skillful hands. Moreover, the post-operative care provided by Dr. Kressel and his team was exceptional. They were readily available to address any questions or concerns I had, and their attentive follow-up care truly made a difference in my recovery process. I cannot recommend Dr. Kressel and his team highly enough to anyone considering breast augmentation surgery. Their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care set them apart, and I am forever grateful for the life-changing results they have provided me. Thank you, Dr. Kressel and team, for your exceptional care and expertise!

Afternoon, Biological male who lives as a transgendered female who is undergoing medical transition ie estrogen and affirming surgeries. The following is a review of my Breast Augmentation experience with Aron Kressel. My natural breast were very minimal via estrogen hormone treatment and now I am a satisfied 520cc round implant with the ability to express my feminine mind and physical characteristics with no limitations. The timeline of this practice is a major "PLUS"; from calling to consultation-to surgery date was all within a 3-4 month window compared to Mt. Sinai and NYU which is a year wait for just consultation. My advice is to arrive to consultation with your own research; I unfortunately was relying too much on Kressel's suggestions which were then reguided to "It's all up to you and what you want. You have to tell me." though my thought would be his recommendation for my proportions. Come prepared basically and an educated gage of your desired result lol! This is a "Pride" clinic; in my opinion if this is of major importance to you this may be a "room for improvement" on the clinic and staff itself. Mt. Sinai transgender center assists me in feeling and existing as a trans female (pronouns/preferred name) seems natural and well trained. This clinic in regards to that topic needs more training and verbage to their patients in regards to gender dysphoria. Personally, this was low importance to me though other trans patients I know have chosen other clinics for this reason being. I value the results of the surgery rather than human verbal error of pronouns as validation. After seeing Kressel's work via photos I was confident to book; only a 3 month wait till surgery date which was a major selling point for me being I just received FFS the summer prior and wanted my body to appear feminine as well. We decided on 500 (520cc) round silicone moderate profile. My experience with surgeons in NYC consultations have never been a truly "warm" experience but rather an informative and to the point conversation which can seem stern but I do not take it personally. In my follow up post op appointments with Dr. Kressel is that of a welcoming doctor who seems pleased with his result. Surgery date was a success! The staff and floor of pre surgery was very welcoming and attentive to my needs and my comfort level. Personally I felt more at ease pre surgery here with this staff than that of Mt. Sinai's. The layout, customer service and the time management was professional and welcoming. You do see Dr. Kressel right before surgery for the "mapping" of the breasts and immediatly after during recovery (for a moment) which was an added plus to my experience. I've had two post op appointments with the clinic after my surgery date and it's only been two weeks since the completed breast augmentation. I would recommend Aron Kressel for Breast Augmentation; I feel pretty with my new additions and feel as though they fit my proportions and are placed in an aesthetically and physically best being that my original male biological chest cavaty was the "foundation" or starting point. Will you get misgendered? Possibly. Will you receive the surgical result you are desiring? Yes, of course; and that is what I value the most. I recommend and am pleased with my breasts and excited for my phyisicsl attributes to align with my feminine way ofthinking. Thank you to Aron Kressel for his expertise and providing results in a safe surgical enviroment and I hope you as the possible client enjoy your journey of new confidence! - Spencer Frasier
