Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) New York, NY | Sultan Mark R MD

Understanding Upper Arm Cosmetic Concerns

Many individuals experience self-consciousness about their upper arm appearance, which can involve concerns about excess fatty tissue, skin looseness, or both. Sultan Mark R MD offers comprehensive solutions for arm contouring tailored to individual patient needs.

Brachioplasty Treatment Options

When addressing upper arm aesthetic concerns, multiple treatment approaches are available depending on the specific condition:

• Liposuction for fatty tissue excess with good skin tone
• Non-surgical radiofrequency treatments for mild skin laxity
• Full brachioplasty for severe skin looseness
• Modified brachioplasty for moderate skin concerns

Full Brachioplasty Technique

For patients with significant skin laxity, typically after substantial weight loss, a full brachioplasty involves removing an ellipse of skin along the inner arm from elbow to armpit. The resulting scar is strategically positioned to minimize visibility, though in 10-20% of cases, scar appearance may be more prominent.

Modified Brachioplasty Approach

The modified brachioplasty offers a less invasive alternative, removing a modest amount of skin from the armpit area. This technique involves elevating arm skin and anchoring it to deeper tissue layers, with the scar concealed within the armpit region.

Procedure Details

• Performed under general anesthesia
• Procedure duration: 1-2 hours
• Recovery period: 1-2 weeks
• Pre-operative medication restrictions include avoiding aspirin and NSAIDs

Candidate Considerations

Not all patients are ideal candidates for brachioplasty. The most suitable individuals have realistic expectations and understand the potential outcomes and surgical limitations.
