Arm Lift in Easton, MD | Sheilah Lynch MD | Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Understanding Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) Procedures

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to tighten, lift, and smooth the skin and tissues of the upper arm. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sheilah A. Lynch offers comprehensive arm contouring solutions for patients throughout the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

What is an Arm Lift?

An arm lift addresses excess skin and fat in the upper arm, creating a more sculpted and refined appearance. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or have struggled with stubborn arm fat that does not respond to diet and exercise.

Arm Lift vs. Arm Liposuction

• Arm Lift (Brachioplasty):
• Arm Liposuction:
• Combined Procedure:

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift

Candidates typically include individuals who have:

• Significant weight loss resulting in loose skin
• Genetic predisposition to excess arm fat
• Loss of skin elasticity due to aging
• Difficulty achieving desired arm contour through exercise

The Arm Lift Procedure

Dr. Lynch performs arm lifts under general anesthesia. The procedure involves an incision from the elbow to the armpit, strategically placed to minimize visible scarring. Excess skin is removed, and underlying tissues are tightened to create a more streamlined arm profile.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery typically involves:

• Initial healing within 10-14 days
• Wearing a compression sleeve
• Gradual reduction of swelling over 3-6 months
• Scar maturation in 6-12 months

Extended Arm Lift for Significant Weight Loss Patients

For patients with extensive skin laxity, an extended brachioplasty can address skin excess that extends beyond the upper arm into the chest wall, providing more comprehensive contouring.
