Arm Lift Treatment: Restore Youthful Contours to Your Arms

As we age, the skin on the upper arms may begin to sag or lose its firmness, often resulting in excess skin that can affect self-confidence. Significant weight loss, whether from dieting, exercise, or bariatric surgery, can also leave behind loose, hanging skin. Fortunately, an arm lift (Brachioplasty) is an effective procedure designed to tighten and contour the arms, improving their appearance and helping patients feel more confident when wearing sleeveless clothing or bathing suits.

The Brachioplasty Procedure

Frequently Asked Questions:

Who is a good candidate for an arm lift?

An arm lift (brachioplasty) is ideal for individuals with excess skin and fat in their arms due to aging, weight loss, or prior surgery. It also helps those looking to enhance the shape of their arms and achieve more defined muscle contours.

When will I see the results from an arm lift?

The initial results are visible right after surgery when the excess skin and fat are removed. However, the swelling will take a few weeks to subside, and the final results will be evident once the healing process is complete.

How long do the results of an arm lift last?

The results of brachioplasty are generally permanent as long as you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. However, aging will continue, which could affect your skin’s elasticity over time, but the improvements from the surgery should remain.

What should I do before and after arm lift surgery?

Before surgery, you may need to complete lab tests, adjust any medications, and refrain from smoking.
