Reshape and define your upper arms with an arm lift in New York. Remove excess skin, enhance tone, and restore confidence with expert, personalized care.
An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms to create a firmer and more defined appearance. It is commonly performed after significant weight loss, aging, or when genetics lead to sagging skin or what is often called "bat wings."
In New York, board-certified plastic surgeons focus on precise body contouring techniques that reduce scarring and produce natural-looking results. Many patients choose to combine brachioplasty with liposuction to further enhance arm definition and achieve a sculpted, balanced look.
An arm lift in New York typically takes two to three hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Incisions are usually placed along the inner arm, running from the armpit to the elbow.
Patients may experience soreness, swelling, and bruising for one to two weeks. These symptoms are usually managed with compression garments and medication. Light activity can resume within one to two weeks, and full recovery is expected in four to six weeks. Final results become visible as swelling subsides and scars fade, typically within two to three months.
Arm lift procedures in New York generally cost between $9,000 and $12,000. Pricing depends on the extent of correction, the surgeon’s experience, and whether liposuction is included. Most patients resume light activity within one to two weeks, with full recovery expected in four to six weeks. Final results continue to improve as swelling decreases and scars gradually fade over time.
