Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Dr. Arnold Breitbart offers specialized arm lift surgery for patients seeking to remove excess loose and hanging skin. The procedure tightens underlying tissues and provides a more defined arm shape. Arm lift surgery can often be performed in conjunction with other body contouring procedures.

Arm Lift Procedure Details

Depending on the extent of skin excess, incisions are strategically made either in the armpit alone or extending along the inner arm from the armpit to near the elbow. The procedure frequently involves a combination of skin excision and liposuction.

Procedure Techniques

• Precise incision placement
• Skin and tissue removal
• Optional liposuction for enhanced contouring

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients can return to work within one week of the procedure. However, Dr. Breitbart recommends avoiding heavy lifting for several weeks to ensure proper healing and optimal results.

Candidacy for Arm Lift

Ideal candidates have excess skin and body fat that remains unresponsive to diet and exercise. A personalized consultation with Dr. Breitbart will determine individual suitability for the procedure.
