What is Arm Lift?

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes loose skin and excess fat from the upper arm between the elbow and the armpit. During the operation, an incision is typically placed along the inner arm, allowing the surgeon to tighten underlying tissues, remove unwanted fat, and trim away stretched skin. The result is a slimmer, more contoured arm profile that better fits your overall physique.

Many people seek an arm lift after significant weight loss or as part of their natural aging journey, when skin loses elasticity and begins to sag. Even with consistent exercise, the upper arms can remain resistant to change because stretched skin simply cannot contract on its own. By tailoring the incision length and technique to each patient’s needs, our surgeons can address mild to substantial laxity while striving to keep scars as discreet as possible.
