What is an Arm Lift?

An arm lift (brachioplasty) removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms, while tightening underlying tissue to restore a smoother, more toned contour. The procedure is tailored to your anatomy, helping you achieve natural-looking, balanced results.

Common Questions

Am I a good candidate?
Ideal candidates have loose or sagging upper arm skin, good overall health, and stable body weight. A consultation will determine the most suitable approach for you.
How long is recovery?
Most patients return to light activities within 1 week. Swelling gradually improves, with final results visible over 6–8 weeks.
Will there be visible scarring?
Incisions are placed along the inner arm where they are less noticeable. Scars typically fade over time and become less visible with proper care.
Can it be combined with other procedures?
Yes, brachioplasty can be combined with procedures such as liposuction or body contouring to achieve more comprehensive results.
How long do results last?
Results are long-lasting when maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Natural aging will continue but improvements are sustained.
