Related Services We Offer
Axillary Skin Excision
Axillary skin excision removes a focused area of loose skin near the armpit. It can suit patients whose laxity is concentrated close to the underarm rather than along the full upper arm. Dr. Mordkovich can help you decide whether this targeted approach fits your goals.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn pockets of fat to refine body contours. When fat rather than skin is the main concern, it can shape areas such as the arms, abdomen, and back. It may also be paired with an arm lift to sculpt the upper arm more fully.
Skin Tightening
Skin tightening treatments help improve firmness in areas where skin has lost some tone. They can be used to refine surrounding areas as part of a broader contouring plan, supporting a smoother overall result. Your plan is built around how much looseness is present and where.
Non-Surgical Skin Tightening
Non-surgical skin tightening improves mild laxity without incisions or a surgical recovery. It can appeal to patients who are not ready for surgery and prefer subtle refinement with minimal disruption to daily routines. Dr. Mordkovich can explain whether this option or an arm lift better matches your concerns.
Mini Tummy Tuck
A mini tummy tuck addresses loose skin and fullness below the navel. Many patients who seek arm contouring after weight loss also notice changes in the lower abdomen. This procedure can complement an arm lift as part of a broader body contouring plan.
Male Breast Reduction
Male breast reduction treats enlarged chest tissue in men, a condition known as gynecomastia. It creates a flatter, more defined chest that fits better in shirts. Men who notice fullness in both the chest and upper arms can discuss addressing these areas together.
Sculptra
Sculptra is a medspa treatment that stimulates the body’s own collagen production over time. Results develop gradually, supporting a refreshed look with improved firmness. It offers a non-surgical path for patients interested in gradual rejuvenation.

FAQ About Arm Lift in Fort Lee, NJ
How much does an arm lift typically cost?
An arm lift generally ranges from $6,000 to $12,000, depending on the extent of the procedure, facility and anesthesia fees, and whether it is combined with liposuction. Pricing varies by provider, anatomy, and treatment plan. Request a consultation to receive a personalized quote.
What is the difference between a mini and full arm lift?
A mini arm lift uses a small incision in the armpit or upper inner arm and suits mild laxity or moderate weight loss. A full arm lift uses a longer incision along the inner arm to remove more tissue from the armpit to the elbow. Dr. Mordkovich recommends the option that fits your degree of excess skin.
When can I return to work after an arm lift?
Most patients return to work and light activities within two to three weeks, wearing a compression garment as directed. Strenuous activity usually resumes gradually around four to six weeks with your surgeon’s approval. Final results tend to emerge over two to three months as swelling resolves.
Who is a good candidate for an arm lift?
Good candidates have maintained a stable weight for several months and have loose upper arm skin that does not respond to diet or exercise. They are in good overall health, do not smoke or are willing to quit around surgery, and hold realistic expectations. A commitment to a healthy lifestyle helps maintain the results.
