Arm Lift New York City
Introduction to Arm Lift
Innovative Body Contouring
At William Samson, MD in New York City, arm lift surgery is one of our most highly sought-after body contouring procedures. The surgery offers to reshape the back part of your upper arm, from your arm to your elbow, by removing extra skin and tissue. This makes your upper arm look smoother and compliments a more symmetrical contour. When a person gains a lot of weight, their skin slowly stretches over time. If an individual loses dramatic weight, the skin may not have enough elasticity to spring back into its original place, leading to extra skin folds of tissue. These skin folds or flaps are likely under your arm and cause much distress. Because it is skin and not muscle or fat, you can’t exercise it back into shape. The only way to remove it is through Arm Lift surgery.
You don’t have to carry the burden of this loose skin any longer. Below, we’ve included the ultimate guide to Arm Lift surgery, but if you have any questions or would like to schedule a consultation, please contact us today.
Let’s start with the basics
What is a an Arm Lift?
Building muscle through weight training can lessen the appearance of sagging skin on the arms, but it cannot entirely correct many people’s issues. Arm Lift, technically referred to as a Brachioplasty, is a type of body-contouring procedure.
This procedure is often done after weight-loss surgery or with a patient who has experienced dramatic weight loss. During the actual surgery, Dr. William Samson removes areas of extra tissue from under your upper arm by cutting the inside or back of your arm. He then removes extra folds of skin and fat—creating a smoother, evenly balanced contour. The surgery may also improve muscle tone in your upper arm.

Dr. William Samson strives to provide a setting full of confidence and reassurance that you have made the right decision to move towards a more contoured appearance.

Sometimes drains will be used to prevent fluid buildup under the incision while the area is healing. Any questions on this will be addressed in your consultation.
