Arm Lift New York, NY | Gordon Andan, MD

What is an Arm Lift?

An arm lift is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and enhance the upper arm's contour by removing excess skin and fat, creating a more streamlined and toned appearance.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

The ideal candidate for arm lift surgery is a healthy, non-smoking adult at a stable weight experiencing:

• Excess skin and fat around the upper arms
• Changes due to massive weight loss
• Age-related skin laxity

Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

• Removes unsightly excess skin and fat
• Provides more flattering clothing options
• Creates a more toned and contoured arm shape
• Improves body proportions
• Boosts self-confidence

Procedure Overview

During an arm lift, Dr. Gordon Andan carefully makes incisions along the underside of the arms. The length and pattern of incisions depend on the amount of skin and fat to be removed. The underlying tissues are tightened, excess skin is excised, and incisions are meticulously closed.

Recovery and Results

Recovery involves minimal arm movement for 3-4 weeks and avoiding strenuous activities for 4-8 weeks. Results are typically long-lasting, especially when maintaining a stable, healthy weight.

Potential Risks

As with any surgical procedure, arm lift surgery carries potential risks, including:

• Bleeding
• Infection
• Nerve or muscle damage
• Scarring
• Changes in skin sensation
