Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Arm lift surgery, medically known as brachioplasty, is a transformative body contouring procedure designed to address excess skin and tissue in the upper arm region. Patients experiencing significant skin laxity after weight loss or aging can achieve more refined, toned arm contours through this surgical intervention.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift

• Individuals with substantial loose or hanging skin in the upper arm
• Patients who have experienced significant weight loss
• People with reduced skin elasticity due to aging
• Individuals in good overall health

Dr. William Umansky employs advanced surgical techniques tailored to each patient's unique anatomical characteristics. The procedure typically involves removing excess skin and fat, then reshaping the underlying supportive tissue to create smoother, more defined arm contours.

Recovery and Expectations

Arm lift recovery varies by individual but generally involves:

• Initial healing period of 2-3 weeks
• Compression garment wear to support healing
• Gradual return to normal activities
