Many people suffer from unsightly skin folds that droop and hang. This condition can interfere with your ability to wear more revealing tops and lead to uncomfortable underarm skin rashes and irritation. Brachioplasty, also known as an arm lift or arm tuck, is a procedure designed to remove sagging skin folds of the upper arm.
A brachioplasty can help restore your confidence to wear short-sleeved blouses and shirts comfortably and to conduct your life with greater freedom. An arm lift can restore a more youthful, trim appearance to your arms and could be the appropriate treatment if you suffer from:
An arm lift (brachioplasty) is often indicated for NYC patients who have loose, hanging skin in their upper arms. Numerous factors could be the cause: significant weight loss, aging, genetics, various medications, or a combination of these factors.
The ideal candidate for arm lift in NYC has maintained their weight loss over time and has tried regular, long-term exercise and/or weightlifting to improve tone. In spite of their efforts, however, they still have excess, loose skin. An arm lift can help individuals achieve a more slender, sculpted, and toned appearance.
At Cosmoplastic Surgery in NYC and Long Island, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Alizadeh treats each patient as a unique individual with specialized needs. During your NYC arm lift consultation, he will perform a thorough examination, listen to your concerns, and explain the best course of action to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
For arm lift procedures, Dr. Alizadeh has developed a novel technique using an advanced tension-reducing suture and a supportive acellular dermal matrix to minimize the final appearance of scars. Complementary procedures such as NaturaCurve™ Buttocks Lift or NaturaLine™ Neck Lift can also enhance your overall appearance.
Dr. Alizadeh’s academic background is second to none. He earned his MD from Cornell University, followed by a residency at the University of Chicago, and finally, subspecialty training in cosmetic surgery, microsurgery, and breast reconstruction at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Today, he performs some of the best arm lifts NYC has to offer.
Beyond serving as a Professor of Clinical Surgery at New York Medical College, he has trained over 100 plastic surgeons and serves as the oral examiner for the American Board of Plastic Surgery. His profound expertise is evidenced by a multitude of peer-reviewed articles and an extensive record of over 100 international lectures. Additionally, in his pivotal role as the primary clinical trial investigator for the FDA, he has contributed to the advancement of devices used in fat removal techniques and other life-changing procedures. Dr. Alizadeh has shared his knowledge with hundreds of doctors across 27 countries, imparting his techniques on a global scale.
Additionally, Dr. Alizadeh founded Mission: Restore in 2010, assembling a group of surgeons to deliver life-changing surgery to those less fortunate. In his own practice, Dr. Alizadeh delivers the same level of care to each patient, using the full weight of his training and experience to ensure an optimal outcome.
The type of brachioplasty performed by Dr. Alizadeh will depend upon how much excess skin, fat, and tissue is present. All surgical procedures at Cosmoplastic Surgery are custom-tailored for the patient. The typical steps in a standard NYC arm lift procedure include the following:
Recovery usually takes one week, depending upon the extent of your surgery. Returning to work depends on the activity required but is typically about 7-10 days. You will have bandages covering your incisions and may need a compression garment to help ward off extensive swelling.
We help our patients through each phase of recovery and ensure they understand how to care for the surgical site until it is fully healed. Initially rest is important, as while you are resting, the body heals.
That doesn’t mean that you are bedridden – it is helpful to walk to help with circulation, but any lifting or stress should be avoided during the early stages, so the incisions heal as they should. The end result is slimmer, trimmer, more attractive arms.
