Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a transformative surgical procedure aimed at improving the contour and appearance of the upper arms. Factors such as aging, weight fluctuations, or genetics can cause the skin in this area to become loose, sagging, and unresponsive to exercise or lifestyle changes. For many, this results in frustration when attempting to achieve toned arms. A brachioplasty removes excess skin and fat, tightening tissue to create a firmer and younger appearance. This procedure is particularly appealing for individuals who want to restore confidence in their appearance, especially when wearing sleeveless clothing, and individuals with significant sagging skin on the upper arms. You should be in overall good health and have realistic expectations about the outcome. If you are unsure, a consultation with our team will help determine whether this procedure aligns with your goals. Initial improvements are visible immediately after surgery, but some swelling may persist for a few weeks. Final results typically become apparent within 3-6 months as the arms fully heal and the swelling subsides.

Yes, brachioplasty can often be combined with other procedures, such as liposuction, to target excess fat in the upper arms for a more sculpted look. It can also be paired with body contouring treatments or a tummy tuck, depending on your goals. During your consultation, our team helps you choose the best treatment for you and recommends a personalized plan to help you achieve the best possible results.
During a brachioplasty, an incision is typically made along the underside or back of the arm. In addition to skin removal, liposuction can be used to remove any remaining fat. The skin is then tightened, and the incision is carefully closed to minimize visible scarring.
Scarring is a natural part of the brachioplasty procedure. However, with proper care—including avoiding sun exposure and using recommended scar treatments—scars typically fade significantly within a year. Most patients find that their scars become less noticeable as time passes, blending into the natural lines of the arm.
The preparation for brachioplasty involves avoiding certain medications and supplements that may increase bleeding, quitting smoking to promote better healing, and arranging for assistance during your recovery period. Preoperative instructions will be provided by our team in order to achieve the best possible outcome.
Scarring is inevitable with brachioplasty, but the incisions are placed in areas that can be easily hidden. While the scars will be visible immediately after surgery, they fade significantly over time. With proper care, most patients find that their brachioplasty scars after 1 year are minimally noticeable and blend in well with the natural contours of the arm.
While scars are a normal part of the healing process, there are steps you can take to reduce their appearance. Follow all post-operative care instructions provided by our team, use recommended scar treatments, and avoid direct sun exposure to protect the healing skin. Over time, the scars will naturally fade and become less conspicuous.
