Arm Lift Williamsville, NY | Dr. Todd Koch

Understanding Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) Procedures

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reduce, reshape, and contour the upper arm from the elbow to the underarm area. This procedure has gained popularity, particularly among individuals who have experienced significant weight loss and are left with excess, loose skin.

Arm Lift Surgical Techniques

Dr. Todd Koch offers two primary arm lift approaches:

• Standard Brachioplasty:
• Medial Brachioplasty:

Procedure Details and Considerations

Typically performed as an outpatient procedure, arm lifts can be completed under general or local anesthesia with sedation. The surgery duration ranges from 2½ to 3½ hours, depending on individual patient needs.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect the following post-surgical recovery timeline:

• Time off work: 1-2 weeks
• Resumption of strenuous activities: 2-4 weeks
• Potential scarring: Incision lines may be permanent and require careful management

Complementary Procedures

Dr. Todd Koch often combines arm lift surgery with liposuction to enhance contouring results. Liposuction first reduces excess fat volume, after which the loose skin is surgically removed and reshaped.
