Even with consistent diet and exercise, your arms can develop loose skin, excess fat, or a sagging appearance due to age, genetics, or significant weight loss. Fortunately, cosmetic surgery offers reliable and lasting solutions if you are seeking to restore definition and achieve a more toned look.
Dr. David Funt is a board-certified plastic surgeon with a reputation for precision and natural-looking outcomes. Patients across Long Island turn to him for individualized procedures that address their unique anatomy and aesthetic goals, especially when it comes to restoring confidence in areas like the arms.
Why Arm Contour Changes Over Time
Aging naturally reduces your skin’s elasticity and collagen production, making your arms more prone to sagging. Additionally, fat tends to accumulate in this area, particularly in your upper arms, where it can be resistant to even the most disciplined fitness efforts. In cases of major weight loss, excess skin may remain long after the fat is gone, creating a deflated or hanging appearance often referred to as “bat wings.”
Surgical Options to Sculpt and Define the Arms
The most effective way to regain arm definition is through cosmetic surgery tailored to the specific concern. Dr. Funt frequently performs the following procedures:
- Arm lift (brachioplasty): This procedure removes excess skin and tightens the underlying tissues of the upper arm. It’s especially beneficial for patients with significant skin laxity due to weight loss or aging.
- Liposuction: If skin quality is good but stubborn fat is present, liposuction may be used to sculpt and slim the arms. It can also be combined with an arm lift for comprehensive contouring.
- Combination procedures: In some cases, treating the arms as part of a more extensive body contouring plan — such as after massive weight loss — provides the most balanced and satisfying results.
Is Cosmetic Arm Surgery Right for You?
Ideal candidates are individuals in good overall health who are at or near a stable weight and are bothered by the appearance of their arms. Dr. Funt evaluates skin tone, fat distribution, and the your personal goals to determine which surgical option will provide the best outcome. His approach is always customized, prioritizing both aesthetic improvement and natural proportions.
