What is an Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)?
An arm lift, commonly known as brachioplasty, is a surgical technique utilized to reshape the upper portion of the arm. The operation seeks to correct the space between the underarm and the elbow.
This operation achieves its goal in three ways:
- Removing redundant or hanging skin
- Tightening the supporting structures of the skin underneath
- Reducing localized fat in the upper arm
Sagging skin in the upper arm is most commonly brought about by:
- Aging
- Fluctuations in weight
- Genetic factors
While exercise can enhance the muscular strength in the upper arm, it cannot eliminate redundant skin. Therefore, brachioplasty is specifically designed to address this concern by improving the tightness and form of the skin and underlying structures in the upper arm, ultimately providing a smoother, stronger, and more harmonious upper arm silhouette compared to what would be expected otherwise.
Benefits of Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
Brachioplasty is a successful method for enhancing both the aesthetic appeal and anatomical form of the upper arm.
Some key advantages of brachioplasty include:
- Eliminating loose skin
- Improving contours and definitions of the upper arm
- Smoothing out the texture of the skin
- Improving the balance of proportions between the upper arm and body
- Long-lasting outcomes
This type of body contouring has been very beneficial for those whose bodies have undergone major weight loss; however, brachioplasty should not be considered if you anticipate losing a significant amount of weight.
In addition to explaining what can reasonably be anticipated as a result of brachioplasty, the physicians at Skin111 also want to make sure that their clients fully comprehend what they can expect before undergoing this treatment.
Procedure Steps: What to Expect During Brachioplasty Surgery
Throughout your brachioplasty surgical experience
When we consider performing brachioplasty, we adhere to a standard operating procedure to guarantee that we achieve consistency in our surgical approaches while maintaining the highest degree of safety possible.
Prior to treatment
The first step in preparing for brachioplasty is to conduct a thorough consultation with one of our experienced physicians. The physician evaluates your:
- Medical history
- Upper arm anatomy/condition
- Goals for your treatment
- Recommended approach for your surgery
Depending upon the extent of your surgery, you may require additional testing prior to being cleared for surgery.
Throughout the process of performing brachioplasty
You will be under general anesthesia when your surgeon performs your brachioplasty.
Your Surgeon will:
- Make an incision inside or posteriorly (on the backside) along the upper arm.
- Remove any excessive skin/fat.
- Tighten/tone/reshape the subcutaneous tissue below.
- Realign the existing skin.
The size/location of your incision(s), depending upon how much redundant skin exists, will impact the duration/length of time it takes to recover.
Following treatment
After your surgery, you will:
- Be wrapped with dressings on your treated area(s).
- Have some swelling/mild discomfort.
- Use compression bandages for support during healing.
Additionally, your recovery will consist of:
- Gradually returning to normal daily functioning.
- Regular follow-up appointments with your treating physician to observe your progress.
Our doctors at Skin111 offer personalized support during your recovery period, including continued observation and feedback as needed.

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) FAQs:
What is the difference between arm fat removal and brachioplasty?
Removing fat from your arm refers to utilizing liposuction or other similar fat reduction treatments to remove unwanted fat from your arm. Fat removal does not target redundant or sagging skin. Brachioplasty eliminates excess skin while tightening the supporting structures beneath it, thereby creating enhanced contours and firmness in your upper arm.
Is brachioplasty surgery safe?
Brachioplasty is deemed safe when conducted in an appropriately regulated medical environment. However, risks do exist; therefore, careful preoperative planning reduces adverse consequences. All procedures conducted at skin111 are executed in accordance with FDA and DHA-approved standards. Prior to recommending surgery, our physicians thoroughly evaluate each prospective Candidate.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery times vary among patients. Generally speaking, most individuals can expect to spend approximately two-four weeks in recovery; however, some individuals may take longer than others to reach maximum recovery. For optimal recovery, you must adhere to recommendations made by your physician to facilitate optimal healing processes.
Will there be visible scars after an arm lift?
Post-surgical scarring is common after brachioplasty; however, incisions created for brachioplasty are generally placed along the internal aspect of the upper arm to minimize visibility. During scheduled follow-up appointments with you, Skin111 physicians guide you on managing your scars effectively.
How long do results last?
Results will be long lasting as long as you maintain a stable body weight, aging, and weight can change the outcome of your procedure.
