Arm Lift

What is an Arm Lift?

An Arm Lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms.
It is designed to tighten, smooth, and contour the area between the shoulder and elbow, creating a more toned and youthful arm appearance.

The procedure is especially beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, skin laxity due to aging, or persistent upper arm fat that does not respond to exercise.

Who Needs an Arm Lift?

You may be a good candidate for arm lift surgery if you:

✔ Have loose, sagging skin on the upper arms (“bat wings”)
✔ Are bothered by arm shape despite regular exercise
✔ Have lost a significant amount of weight
✔ Are at a stable weight and in good health
✔ Have realistic expectations about scarring and recovery

Types of Arm Lift Procedures

🔹 Traditional Brachioplasty:
Involves an incision along the inner arm to remove excess skin and fat.

🔹 Mini Arm Lift:
Shorter incision, ideal for mild to moderate skin laxity.

🔹 Liposuction-Only (or Combined):
Fat removal without skin excision, or in combination with skin tightening techniques.

The right method is selected based on your skin quality, fat distribution, and desired outcome.

How is the Surgery Performed?

Procedure Time: 1.5 to 3 hours

Anesthesia: General or local with sedation

Incision Placement: Typically along the inner arm or back of the arm to keep scars discreet

Recovery: Outpatient or 1-night hospital stay (depending on extent)

During the procedure, excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining skin is tightened to improve shape and definition.

Recovery Timeline

🕒 Days 1–5: Swelling, tightness, and limited arm mobility are expected.
🩺 Week 2: Stitches may be removed. You can resume light daily tasks.
🕒 Week 3–4: Most patients return to work.
🕒 Months 2–3: Scars begin to fade and arms appear more toned.

Compression garments are worn for several weeks to support healing and minimize swelling.

What Are the Benefits?

✅ Slimmer, firmer upper arm contour
✅ Clothes fit better and more confidently
✅ Reversal of age- or weight-related skin sagging
✅ Long-lasting results when paired with healthy habits
✅ Restored body harmony, especially after weight loss surgery

Will There Be Scars?

Yes — scarring is inevitable with arm lift surgery, but surgeons place incisions strategically along the inner arms to keep them as discreet as possible.
With time, proper care, and treatments like scar gels or laser therapy, scars typically fade significantly.
