About Arm Lift Surgery
An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is an advanced cosmetic surgery technique designed to remove excess skin and fat deposits from the upper arm. The procedure restores a more youthful and toned appearance by addressing skin laxity caused by aging, gravity, genetics, or significant weight loss.
Procedure Technique
During an arm lift, a strategic incision is typically made from under the elbow along the inner arm to the upper arm. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Aisha Baron carefully removes excess skin and fat, creating natural-looking improvements that eliminate "bat wings" and reveal a sleek, well-contoured upper body.
Ideal Candidates
- Men and women with loose, hanging skin on the upper arms
- Individuals unable to wear short sleeves or fitted clothing due to arm skin excess
- Patients at or near their goal weight with stable body composition
- Individuals in good overall health seeking arm contour improvement
Surgical Approach
The arm lift procedure is customized based on individual patient needs. The plastic surgeon evaluates skin quality and elasticity to determine the appropriate amount of fat, tissue, and skin removal. Incision length varies depending on the patient's specific requirements.
Recovery and Expectations
Patients can expect initial swelling that typically subsides within 1-2 weeks. A compression garment is recommended to control swelling and protect healing tissues. Most patients resume moderate arm activity in 3-4 weeks, with complete recovery occurring around 4-6 weeks post-surgery.
