An arm lift, commonly referred to as a brachioplasty, is an advanced cosmetic surgery that seeks to restore the appearance of the upper arm. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Suzman performs the surgery at Summit Group in Westchester, NY for his patients after a private, one-on-one consultation. Typically the surgery involves making a small incision from the elbow along to the upper arm that allows Dr. Suzman to remove and tighten excess skin and fat. Dr. Suzman understands that with age or excessive weight loss comes the possibility of sagging or loose skin in the arms, and he is well-equipped to asses your surgical needs to help deliver the best results possible. A brachioplasty can be an effective way to bring a more youthful and contoured appearance back to your arms and upper-body.
For some arm lift patients, a smaller scar in the under arm area is used along with liposuction and skin tightening with Renuvion radiofrequency energy system with very good results.
Best Candidates
The best candidates for an arm lift procedure are men or women who have loose and hanging skin from the underside of the upper arm. This skin keeps these individuals from wearing short sleeves or fitted clothing. Patients must be at or near their goal weight, and their weight should be stable. This surgery is not reserved for weight loss patients alone. Patients who are in good health and wish to have their arms toned and tightened may also consider this procedure. After signigicant weight loss from bariatric surgery or medications ) Ozempic, Mounjaro and other GLP- 1 semaglutide agonists)
As one of the country's best recognized plastic surgeons, Dr Suzman has hundreds of positive reviews for body contour surgery such as batrachoplasty, liposuction and tummy tuck procedures.

Dr Suzman has the BEST bedside manner. I am so pleased with his work and the professionalism and kindness of his staff. I’m so grateful to Dr Suzman.
I can not recommend Dr. Suzman (and his staff, specifically Helen Reyes) enough. They are top notch medical professionals who sincerely care about their patients. Dr. Suzman made sure he understood exactly what I needed in terms of my procedure and I could not be happier with my results, the clear payment expectations, and aftercare. Please do not hesitate to set up a consult and see what they are all about.
I was nervous before the surgery but being in Dr. Suzman’s great hands made things much easier. I will never forget the doctor who always smiled in the exam room, hospital room and surgical room…His bright aura and cheerful disposition brought me so much joy and inner and outer healing.

What to Expect
The goal of an arm lift is to remove excess skin and reveal a toned upper arm. The plastic surgeon will evaluate your skin quality and elasticity and determine how much fat, tissue and skin should be removed to attain the results the patient desires. The length of the incision made during surgery will vary. For example, patients who have healthy skin tone may only require a minor incision. Massive weight loss patients who present with excessively loose and hanging skin will require a more extensive approach. During surgery, the excess skin is trimmed and removed, and the underlying muscles are tightened. An armpit lift is sometimes incorporated during this procedure for patients who have additional skin and fat deposits within the armpit.
Other Considerations
Swelling is expected after arm lift surgery, although the amount of swelling varies among patients. The swelling starts to subside during the first 1-2 weeks after surgery. A compression garment or sleeve will usually be recommended to control this swelling and to keep the skin and tissue firmly protected. Most patients can resume moderate arm activity in 3-4 weeks, with a complete recovery about 4-6 weeks after the surgery. While all surgical procedures will leave some scarring, the incision resides under the arm so that it is not as noticeable. The surgeon will provide a scar treatment plan to help the incision(s) heal in a healthy and quick manner.
