An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms, creating a firmer, more youthful contour. As we age, or after significant weight loss, the skin on the upper arms may become loose and sag, creating a drooping or “bat wing” appearance. This procedure is ideal for individuals who struggle with excess skin or fat in the arms that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise. If you have healthy skin and are looking for a more toned and contoured arm appearance, an arm lift can help restore confidence and improve the overall proportions of your body.

Arm Lift Recovery
Enhanced Contours and Renewed Confidence
Recovery from an arm lift requires careful attention, but most patients find the results highly rewarding. After surgery, you may experience swelling, bruising, and some discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. The first few days may involve wearing compression garments to help reduce swelling and support the healing process. Most patients can return to light activities after 2 weeks, but it may take 4–6 weeks for full recovery. Over time, you will see a significant improvement in the contour of your arms, with loose skin eliminated and the arms appearing firmer and more toned. Scars will gradually fade and can be easily hidden by clothing, leaving you with a rejuvenated, confident look.
