Arm Lift Bloomfield Hills, MI

Excess skin hanging on the upper arms can not only be unsightly and embarrassing for some women, but it may also seriously limit clothing options. For women in Detroit who struggle with this issue, our doctors perform arm lift surgery in Bloomfield Hills, MI, to tone and slenderize the upper arms.

Tone Upper Arms with Arm Lift

Brachioplasty (an arm lift) involves the removal of excess skin and tissue that may hang from the upper arms. Our doctors may recommend the procedure for you if you have:

• Hanging arm tissue
• Excess fat in upper arms
• Motivation to improve arm appearance

An arm lift surgery near Rochester Hills is ideal for many women (and some men) who have excess, loose skin hanging from their upper arms. Skin elasticity is not as important as with other procedures, but you should be a nonsmoker and at a healthy, stable body weight.

What is Arm Lift?

An arm lift is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. The goal is to create a smoother, tighter contour that better reflects your overall body shape. In some cases, liposuction may be combined with the procedure to remove excess fat and enhance the final result. While an arm lift can significantly improve arm contour, it is important to understand that it is not a substitute for weight loss.

Am I A Candidate For Arm Lift In Bloomfield Hills, MI?

An arm lift surgery near Rochester Hills is ideal for many women (and some men) who have excess, loose skin hanging from their upper arms. Prior to your procedure, you will need to schedule a consultation with our doctors to discuss your goals and objectives and create realistic expectations. During this time, you will need to share your medical history and other information to ensure the procedure can be performed safely and successfully. Skin elasticity is not as important as with other procedures, but you should be a nonsmoker and at a healthy, stable body weight.

How is an Arm Lift Performed in Bloomfield Hills, MI?

When our plastic surgeons perform an arm lift, they almost always do so under general anesthesia. The procedure then requires an incision along the inside of your upper arm extending from the armpit to the elbow. In minor cases, our doctors may suggest a minimal incision underneath the armpit.  At this incision site, our doctors will remove excess skin hanging from your arm and may also use liposuction to further slenderize its appearance. If liposuction is necessary, our doctors will first perform liposuction, then trim the excess skin. The skin will then be tightened and re-contoured for a leaner appearance. When a satisfactory result is achieved, she will then close the incisions with sutures and apply a surgical dressing.

What Will My Aftercare Steps Be Following an Arm Lift?

When you leave surgery, our doctors will have your arms wrapped in gauze. Most patients return home the same day as the surgery, but may experience some bruising. You will need to limit your activity for several weeks, but most patients take about one week off from work for more sedentary jobs.  Recovery may affect your job for some time if you do a lot of manual work. Any swelling you experience will gradually subside, and discomfort can be managed with medication. Our doctors may advise you to keep your arms elevated, which will be included in your post-operative instructions.

I love Dr. Ellen! She is truly the best. Super professional, transparent & compassionate. Everyone at the hospital had amazing things to say about her which made me more confident in my decision. I'm so glad I chose her for my breast reduction, arm lift, and thigh lift. Her staff is elite, they are attentive with positive energy that makes you feel so much more comfortable about doing the procedure. If you're thinking of choosing Dr. Ellen, please do! You will not be disappointed.

Dr. Boston exceeded every expectation I had for my surgery. My results are natural and was exactly what I was hoping for. She has an exceptional eye and skill as a surgeon, and it truly shows in her work. Dr. Boston is also one of the kindest and most compassionate people you will ever meet. She takes the time to listen, makes you feel comfortable, and genuinely cares about her patients. I am beyond grateful for my experience and my results.

I had a breast lift, implant and liposuction done a little over a week ago. The whole process from my first Google search and phone call until today, 8 days post op has been so professional and nice. I never once felt like just another patient. I did have a few other consults in the Bloomfield hills areas (2 others) and chose Dr. Ellen.
All the staff is welcoming and friendly, quick to answer your questions. I’m very happy with my results so far.
