Flabby, sagging arms can be distressing and painful. Anyone can experience stretched, drooping skin on their upper arms. Individuals with sagging arms may not feel comfortable exposing their arms, restricting their wardrobe options, and quality of life. Summertime can be miserable when you feel the need to wear sleeves to cover your arms. Brachioplasty can restore slimmer, toned arms and give you back the freedom to go sleeveless next summer.
Arm lift surgery varies, depending on the aesthetic goals of the patient and their arm concerns. Some patients only have extra skin that sags below the triceps, which can be removed and tightened with a small incision near the armpit. Others may have more pronounced skin and tissue sagging on the upper arms, requiring liposuction and a larger incision to remove the extra skin and tissue.

Ideal candidates for an arm lift are individuals who experience excess, sagging skin on the upper arms that does not respond to diet and exercise. This often occurs after significant weight loss, aging, or due to genetic factors. A thorough consultation will assess your skin quality, overall health, and aesthetic goals to determine if an arm lift is the right solution for you.
During an arm lift, your surgeon will remove excess skin and fat from the inner and outer areas of your upper arms. Incisions are strategically placed along the natural contours of your arm to minimize visible scarring. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia, and your surgeon will explain each step of the process during your consultation.
Recovery time varies by individual, but most patients can expect some swelling and discomfort for the first few weeks following surgery. Light activities are usually resumed within 2 to 3 weeks, while complete healing and final results may take several months. Your surgeon will provide a detailed post-operative care plan, including guidelines for activity restrictions and scar management.
As with any surgical procedure, an arm lift carries potential risks such as infection, bleeding, scarring, or asymmetry. Additionally, there can be temporary changes in sensation or delayed wound healing. Choosing an experienced surgeon and strictly following post-operative instructions are key steps to minimize these risks.

Over time, scars typically fade and become less noticeable. Post-surgical care, including scar management treatments, can further enhance their appearance.
Yes, an arm lift is often performed in combination with other body contouring procedures, such as a tummy tuck or thigh lift, to achieve a more harmonious overall silhouette. Your surgeon will discuss your specific needs and determine the best combination of procedures during your consultation.
The results of an arm lift are generally long-lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. However, the natural aging process can gradually affect skin elasticity over time. Regular follow-ups with your surgeon can help address any future concerns.
Post-operative care for an arm lift includes managing pain and swelling with prescribed medications, wearing compression garments to support the healing tissues, and following activity restrictions to ensure proper recovery. Follow-up appointments will allow your surgeon to monitor your progress and address any concerns during the healing process.
