An arm lift is also known as Brachioplasty and it helps to remove the excess, sagging skin from the upper arms to give your arms a firmer contour. Once your arms appear firmer and youthful, it helps boost your self-confidence.

About

One of the reasons men opt for an arm lift surgery is from significant weight loss which leaves excessive skin. If you have good skin elasticity, you can achieve good results with liposuction alone, but many need an arm lift for better results. Scars from the procedure are placed on the inner arm, making them easier to conceal.

I had my first consultation with Dr. Wallach in February 2012 to discuss body-contouring procedures after massive weight loss. I had seen two plastic surgeons prior to Dr. Wallach. From the very moment that I received a phone call from the patient coordinator I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Wallach listened and answered all of my questions and was very patient. In May 2012 I had a circumferential abdominoplasty with a fleur d’lis. Dr. Wallach was there every step of the way. I had never met a doctor more dedicated to his patients. While other plastic surgeons were willing to do an entire body lift at once Dr. Wallach would not compromise his patients’ health. He is honest, caring, and above all a very competent surgeon. I would strongly recommend his care to anyone considering a procedure. He is truly an exceptional surgeon, whose expertise far outweighs other surgeons in his field. The quality of Dr. Wallach’s patient care and bedside manner is far superior to that of other plastic surgeons with whom I have consulted, and the passion he exhibits for his profession is second to none. Dr Wallach’s first priority is always patient health and safety, and is unwilling to compromise either for fiscal gain. This is not something I can say about the other plastic surgeons I consulted with, who were willing to perform any elaborate, complicated, and much more risk-laden surgery because “the price was right.” I would not go to any other surgeon and I am looking forward to my next procedure with Dr. Wallach.

I was referred to and met Dr. Wallach in late January 2014 regarding having a BBL procedure done, Dr. Wallach easy going personality and professionalism put my mind at ease. I have unique medical issues and after speakina with him I knew he was the perfect physician for my procedure. My surgery was scheduled for mid-February and it went without a hitch. Mind you the day of the surgery there was a big snowstorm; but everyone on the team including myself made it in safely. Dr. Wallach was very informative on the day of surgery: explaining evey step to me and my husband. He was caring and made sure everything was being done to ensure our privacy and that I was comfortable. I must say I was very satisfied with the results and still am. I would definitely go back to Dr Wallach for any future work and would highly recommend him! His office assistant Nicole is a sweet heart and thank them both for the loving care. I have received endless compliments and owe Dr. Wallach a multitude of gratitude!!!!!

Procedure

Massive weight fluctuation and aging leads to excessive and sagging skin or extra fat in the upper arms. It is almost impossible to lose the fat or the extra skin simply with dieting or exercising. This can be remedied with two cosmetic procedures, liposuction and arm lift (Brachioplasty).

LIPOSUCTION

If you have good skin elasticity, liposuction will be a great option to remove fat and tighten the skin to a certain extent. This works best for men who are concerned with extra fat on the upper arm.

The liposuction procedure involves the use of local anesthesia and IV sedation and it is performed on an outpatient basis. Dr. Wallach may use one or two incisions for your arm liposuction procedure, one could be by the armpit area and another by your elbow. These incisions are then used to insert the cannula for breaking up the fat cells and removing them using suction.

BRACHIOPLASTY

If you also have sagging skin in addition to excessive fat in your upper arms, liposuction will not help you achieve the desired results. For severe drooping of skin on your upper arms, Dr. Wallach will choose the arm lift surgery that allows him to excise the extra skin. It is an extensive surgical procedure but one that allows Dr. Wallach to offer you a dramatic enhancement of the upper arms so that you feel more confident baring your arms in public. The arm lift surgery is a commonly chosen procedure for men who have lost massive weight and are now bothered with excessive skin hanging from their upper arms.

Brachioplasty or arm lift is performed on an outpatient basis and under IV sedation and local or general anesthesia. The incision used for the procedure runs from your elbow to the armpit on the inner side of your upper arm. This will give you smoother and tighter skin that make the arms look youthful. Your scars from the procedure will fade within a year, so you don’t have to worry about the look of scarring for a long time.

Recovery

You will be discharged within an hour after your procedure and you can move about the same day. The sutures used for your procedure are dissolvable and most men report only minimal discomfort or pain. You will be able to return to a desk job within a few days and exercising can be resumed within 1-2 weeks from your surgery. You will be able to do light aerobics within 3-4 weeks, and then heavy lifting and exertion in about 6-8 weeks.

For complete rejuvenation, the arm lift procedure can be combined with other procedures of the face and body. During your consultation, Dr. Wallach will listen to your issues and discuss all available options to help you achieve optimal results.
