Brachioplasty in Poughkeepsie, NY

Board Certified Manhattan Plastic Surgeons

An arm lift (aka, brachioplasty) is a procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms. It is an ideal procedure for patients who are uncomfortable showing their arms or hide their arms in long sleeve clothes. No matter the cause. The procedure allows patients to enjoy arms that are slimmer and more toned.

An arm lift is often done in conjunction with liposuction. The results of this procedure are visible immediately and will continue to improve as swelling subsides over the next three to six months. With time, patients feel more comfortable exposing their arms and have improved self-confidence after this procedure.

Had the BEST facial with Amanda. She was so sweet and gentle during my facial and even gave me recommendations post facial. The spa had such a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere. Overall a great experience and I will be back!

The very first faces you see are the beautiful ones at the receptionist desk. They are warm, friendly & very greeting. I was brought right back to meet Dr. Abraham. I had been very excited to meet the Dr. who was going to be doing my surgery. I brought in a few photos of the expectation I had for myself, to look like again. Within reason of course. He was SO knowledgeable & answered all my questions & concerns. Before my actual meeting with Dr. Abraham, I researched many doctor's in this area. I kept returning to Dr. Abraham. I was EXTREMELY impressed. What a kind, gentle soul he is. Bedside manner, I give him 1,000 stars if I could. Then as all of our questions & concerns were answered to our liking, we met Judy. She works extremely hard. Dr. Abraham's right hand LADY! She MADE SURE everything went as smoothly as it did. And because of Judy getting everything in order, I had my full neck lift, a lower facelift & an earlobe reduction. I was really swollen after surgery, but almost 2 months post op, I can SEE the younger me ALREADY. I know I have a little ways to go, but I could not be HAPPIER than I am, as every day goes by. I'm looking forward to healing a little more so I can continue with getting my sun spots removed next. TY especially for Dr. Abraham's GIFTED hands from GOD. And TY for all your missions you do. TY to the wonderful nurses & everyone who took good care of me.

Dr. Abraham is an excellent surgeon, is extremely knowledgeable, is friendly, caring and has an excellent bedside manner. He takes his time to answer and address all questions and concerns.I highly recommend him if you need any facial plastic surgery as he is the "best" in his field. My wife is extremely happy with the outcome of her surgery.Judy Fallon, his asssistant, is just a wonderful, caring person, who made us feel at ease from the moment we met her. She also took her time to answer any questions or concerns we had.The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is serene and calming.This facility is the best in the Hudson Valley.

I had some fillers injected by Ryan Young, PA, who did an excellent job. Very friendly and knowledgable about skin care in general, he explained everything as he went along. The staff is very efficient and courteous. The place is designed in a sleek, beautiful style and is very clean!
