An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. This is particularly popular among individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight or whose skin has lost elasticity due to aging. During the procedure, a surgeon makes an incision along the inner arm, from the armpit to the elbow, to remove excess tissue and tighten the underlying structure, resulting in a smoother, firmer arm shape.
The recovery period for an arm lift typically lasts about 2 to 3 weeks for initial healing, with most patients able to return to light activities after the first week. Swelling and bruising are common but usually subside within a few weeks. It’s essential to follow post-surgery care instructions, avoid strenuous activities, and wear compression garments as recommended to aid in the healing process.
Yes, arm lifts do leave scars along the inner side of the upper arms. However, these scars typically fade over time and can be minimized with proper scar care and sun protection. Your surgeon will place incisions strategically to reduce visibility, and our team can also recommend post-surgery scar treatments to further help reduce their appearance.
You may be a good candidate if you have loose skin or excess fat on the upper arms that hasn't responded to diet and exercise. Ideal candidates are in good health, maintain a stable weight, and have realistic expectations for the outcome of the procedure. During your consultation, our team will assess your needs and recommend the best course of action based on your goals and health profile.
