Make your upper arms look more youthful and toned with arm lift surgery from Dr. Hamid Massiha. This procedure is also called brachioplasty, and it helps get rid of excess fat and skin on your upper arms.

As we age or experience fluctuating weight, fat can accumulate in the upper arms. These fat deposits can also cause the skin to sag or droop. An arm lift procedure is a plastic surgery treatment that addresses these issues.

• Removes loose skin
• Reduces fat deposits
• Lessens wrinkly appearance
• Reduces batwing-like silhouette

If you’ve been searching phrases like “plastic surgery near me” or “body contouring near me,” then procedures like brachioplasty might be just what you’re looking for. This treatment is ideal for anyone who has loose skin or excess fat in their upper arms. If you’ve been exercising and have lost fat, but the skin remains droopy, then the procedure is also great for you.

To learn whether an arm lift can help you, the first step is to schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Massiha. At the consult, Dr. Massiha will talk about the procedure, your goals, other options, and the potential risks. Be prepared to discuss your medical history and expectations for the surgery, and to ask questions. This is the time to get your questions answered. Your surgeon can also show you arm lift before and after pictures.

After consultation, your team of healthcare professionals will begin to tailor a unique treatment plan. During the evaluation period, you will continue talking with your surgeon and undergo physical exams. Tests, images, and x-rays may be ordered depending on your age, health, and other individual needs.

Once the evaluation is complete, your surgeon will recommend a personalized plan that revolves around your goals and limits for your treatment and recovery periods. Dr. Massiha may perform the arm lift surgery alone or in combination with a wide range of comprehensive cosmetic and body contour services.

Make sure to ask any questions you have. Don’t be afraid to share your thoughts with your surgeon and healthcare team. If you do not understand something, tell your healthcare team, so they can find another way to explain it. If you are unsure of what questions to ask, see this checklist recommended by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. It can help guide you during conversations with your surgeon.

Arm lift surgery is considered an outpatient procedure and lasts for only one to two hours. First, we put you under anesthesia. Dr. Massiha and his surgical team will then begin with the specific arm lift surgery recommended, which can be any of the following:

• Traditional Arm Lift: The surgeon removes excess fat and skin from the armpit to the elbow.
• Extended Arm Lift: This is similar to a traditional arm lift surgery, but the plastic surgeon will also address other problem areas along the circumference of the upper arms.
• Arm Lift with Liposuction: The inclusion of liposuction is best for those who have moderate amounts of fat in their upper arms.

After the procedure is recovery. During this period, we advise you to follow Dr. Massiha’s instructions about which medications to take, when to schedule follow-up sessions, and what complications to monitor. Avoid strenuous activities and make sure you have someone who can help you around.

After you’ve fully healed, you’ll see a dramatic and long-lasting change to your upper arms. Your newly sculpted body will reveal more youthful and better-shaped upper arms. While there will still be some scarring, it’s a small trade-off for the permanent change.

So, are you wondering how much an arm lift costs? Arm lift cost can vary depending on several factors including the procedure. The technique, the experience of the board-certified cosmetic surgeon, the facility where the procedure is performed, and the anesthesia involved all influence cost.

Many of these choices are made according to your medical history and your expectations. You and your surgeon will talk about these decisions during your consultation and discussions before surgery. Dr. Massiha will be able to provide a price quote with your treatment plan so you can budget the cost of your procedure.
