About the Treatment

Some things just don’t budge with workouts. And that’s okay.
Arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess skin and improve the contours of the upper arms. It may be suitable for people experiencing loose or sagging skin due to significant weight loss, aging, or reduced skin elasticity.

How does it work?
During an arm lift, a surgeon removes excess skin from the upper arms and reshapes the remaining tissue to create a firmer contour. Depending on the amount of excess skin and fat, liposuction may also be considered as part of the treatment plan.
The surgical approach depends on your anatomy and goals. Your surgeon will explain the incision placement, expected results, and potential scarring before proceeding.
The “Beyond Exercise” Solution
What Can an Arm Lift Help Improve?
Arm lift surgery may help address:
- Loose upper-arm skin: Remove excess skin that hangs beneath the arms.
- Sagging contours: Improve the appearance of skin that has lost elasticity.
- Excess tissue: Address selected areas of excess skin and, where appropriate, fat.
- Overall arm shape: Create a more defined contour that better suits your proportions.
Every arm is different. Your treatment plan should be based on your skin, anatomy, and desired outcome.
Strong arms. Skin that tells a different story.
Beyond the Workout
Exercise can strengthen muscles and improve muscle definition, but it cannot reliably remove significant excess skin. After major weight loss or as skin elasticity changes with age, loose skin may remain even when you maintain an active lifestyle.
An arm lift addresses that excess skin directly. It isn’t a substitute for exercise or weight management; it’s a surgical option for people whose main concern is skin laxity.

Frequently Asked Questions
All you need to know about this treatment.
People with excess or sagging upper-arm skin who are in good overall health and have a relatively stable weight may be candidates. A consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon is needed to assess suitability and discuss realistic expectations.
The main goal is to remove excess skin and improve arm contours. Liposuction may be considered when excess fat is also a concern, but the right approach depends on skin elasticity, anatomy, and your surgeon’s assessment.
Yes. Incisions are necessary to remove excess skin, and scarring is an expected part of the procedure. The location and length of scars depend on how much skin needs to be removed and the technique used. Scars usually mature over time but do not disappear completely.
Recovery varies depending on the extent of surgery and your individual healing. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common initially. You may need compression garments and must limit heavy lifting and strenuous arm movements until your surgeon clears you.
Here’s our treatment protocol:
Before your surgery:
- Discuss your medical history, medications, and goals with your surgeon.
- Follow instructions about smoking, medications, and other preoperative preparations.
- Ask about incision placement, scarring, risks, and recovery expectations.
- Arrange transport home and help with daily tasks during your initial recovery.
After your surgery:
- Follow your surgeon’s instructions for wound care and compression garments.
- Keep arm movements and physical activity within the limits recommended by your medical team.
- Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise until you are cleared.
- Attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing and results.
Contact your medical team if you notice increasing pain, fever, unusual wound discharge, or worsening redness. Seek urgent care for sudden chest pain or shortness of breath.
