What is an Arm Lift?

An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms to create a firmer, more sculpted appearance. This is an ideal solution for individuals dealing with sagging or “bat wing” arms caused by aging, genetics, or significant weight loss.

Many people choose arm lift surgery to regain confidence, especially when wearing sleeveless clothing by achieving smoother, toned arms. While this is not a weight-loss procedure, it is best suited for individuals who are at a stable weight and have realistic expectations for their results.

What Happens During Surgery?

During your free consultation, our board-certified surgeons will evaluate your concerns and recommend a treatment plan tailored to your body and goals. The procedure typically follows these steps:

  1. Strategic Incisions
    Small incisions are made along the inner arm or on the back of the arm to reduce visibility.
  2. Targeted Fat Removal
    Liposuction may be used to eliminate stubborn fat deposits.
  3. Skin Tightening
    Loose or sagging skin is carefully removed, and the remaining skin is pulled taut for improved contour.
  4. Closure & Recovery Support
    Sutures are used to close the incisions, and a compression garment is applied to reduce swelling and aid healing.

Is an Arm Lift Right for You?

You may be a good candidate for brachioplasty if:

  • You’re bothered by sagging or loose upper arm skin
  • You maintain a healthy, stable weight
  • You’re in overall good health
  • You have realistic expectations for surgical outcomes
  • Slimmer, more toned upper arms
  • Boosted self-confidence in clothing choices
  • Improved body proportions
  • Personalized treatment tailored to your needs
  • Long-lasting results with proper maintenance

Arm lift surgery is generally safe, but like any surgical procedure, it carries some risks:

  • Scarring (typically fades and is discreetly placed)
  • Temporary bruising or swelling
  • Infection or bleeding (rare)
  • Numbness or tingling near the incision area
  • Minor asymmetry in arm shape (infrequent)

Our team uses the latest surgical techniques to minimize risks and support optimal healing.

    Your surgeon removes excess skin and fat, tightens the remaining tissue, and carefully closes incisions to leave minimal scarring, resulting in smoother, firmer arms.

    Most patients return to daily activities within 2 weeks, though complete healing and scar fading can take up to 6 months.

    Scars are usually hidden on the inner arms or back of the arms, and with proper aftercare, they fade significantly over time.
