Arm Lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, aims to tighten and reshape the sagging or loose skin of the upper arms.

​

Arm Lift surgery may be helpful to patients that have loose or hanging skin and excess fat in the upper arms despite toning exercises, or if they have lost a significant amount of weight.

​

Incisions along the inner arm are necessary to tighten and reshape the upper arm.  If skin tone is good, Liposuction techniques alone may reshape the arm by removing excess fat.

​

Arm lift surgery is typically performed in an outpatient setting under general anesthesia. The surgery may require an overnight stay when combined with other procedures.

​

Recovery depends on the extent of your surgery, and any accompanying procedures. Light activity can be done the day after your surgery, a return to more normal activity may take 1-2 weeks or more. 

​

Light compression garments may be recommended during your recovery to help reduce fluid retention and shape your now trimmer arms.

​

Results may be long-term, but weight loss/gain or natural aging may alter your appearance.
