Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) White Plains, NY | Westchester Surgical Arts

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery in Westchester County

Losing significant weight or experiencing natural aging can result in loose, sagging skin on the upper arms. An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical solution designed to remove excess skin and fat, creating a more toned and youthful arm contour.

Who Qualifies for Arm Lift Surgery?

Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery in White Plains include:

• Individuals with significant skin laxity in the upper arms
• Patients in good overall health
• Non-smokers with realistic surgical expectations
• Those unable to improve arm appearance through diet and exercise

The Arm Lift Procedure: What to Expect

Westchester Surgical Arts performs arm lift surgery under general anesthesia. The procedure involves strategically placed incisions along the underside of the arm, allowing surgeons to remove excess skin and fat while preserving natural arm contours.

Surgical Technique Details

• Incision placement from armpit to elbow
• Precise skin and fat removal
• Careful closure to minimize scarring
• Outpatient procedure lasting 2-3 hours

Recovery and Results

Most patients can return to office-style work within one week. Compression garments and careful post-operative care help manage swelling and support healing. Patients should avoid lifting heavy objects for 4-6 weeks.

Long-Term Outcomes of Arm Lift Surgery

While aging naturally impacts skin elasticity, an arm lift can provide long-lasting improvements. Maintaining results requires a healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition and consistent exercise.
