What Is an Arm Lift?

An arm lift, also called brachioplasty, removes excess skin and tissue from the upper arms. It is often performed after significant weight loss, age-related changes, or stubborn fat that resists exercise. The result is a more defined, proportionate silhouette that complements the rest of the body. Arm lift surgery addresses:

Sagging or drooping skin along the upper arms
Stubborn fat deposits resistant to exercise
Discomfort or limited clothing options due to excess tissue
Loss of definition from aging or weight fluctuation

Who Benefits Most from an Arm Lift?

Candidacy is determined during a personalized consultation with your surgeon. The procedure is best for patients in good overall health, nonsmokers, and those with sagging skin or excess tissue that cannot be improved through fitness alone.

How Arm Lift Surgery Is Performed

Your journey begins with a consultation to customize your surgical plan. During the procedure:

Anesthesia is administered for safety and comfort.
Incisions are placed discreetly along the inner arm.
Excess skin and fat are removed, often with liposuction.
Supporting tissues are tightened for a smoother contour.
Incisions are carefully closed, and dressings are applied.

Healing and Results After an Arm Lift

Recovery involves swelling and bruising in the first one to two weeks, with most patients returning to light activity during that time.

Compression garments help shape the arms. Final results emerge gradually over several months, revealing slimmer, more youthful contours that last with stable weight.

Different Approaches to Arm Lift Surgery

The arm lift procedure is customized depending on anatomy and goals. Options include:

Standard Arm Lift

Removes significant excess skin and fat along the upper arm.

Mini Arm Lift

Focuses on subtle refinement with smaller incisions.

Extended Arm Lift

Addresses skin laxity that extends into the chest or torso.

Other Options to Consider Alongside an Arm Lift

Liposuction: Targets fat deposits in multiple body areas for overall balance.
Tummy Tuck: Tightens muscles and removes excess abdominal skin.
Mommy Makeover: Restores contours after pregnancy with customized procedures.
Abdominal Etching in Orlando: Sculpts abdominal definition by highlighting natural muscle contours.
Thigh Lift: Smooths and reshapes the legs for proportional harmony.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose strength in my arms after surgery?

No. An arm lift reshapes skin and tissue but does not affect muscles. Patients can return to full strength once healing is complete.

What are the risks of arm lift surgery?

Risks include infection, numbness, scarring, bleeding, or asymmetry. These are minimized through accredited facilities, experienced surgeons, and strict safety protocols.

Will I have visible scars after an arm lift?

Yes, scars are inevitable, but they are placed discreetly along the inner arms. Most fade over time and are less noticeable with proper care.

Is an arm lift permanent?

Results are long-lasting with stable weight and healthy habits. However, natural aging can still affect skin elasticity over time.

Does insurance cover arm lift surgery?

Most arm lifts are cosmetic and not covered by insurance. Financing options are available to make the procedure more accessible.
