A Complete Guide To Arm Lift Surgery

Arm lift surgery is also known as brachioplasty. It reshapes a portion of the upper arm, from the underarm region to the elbow. By removing excess skin and fat, it offers a more toned appearance.

What is Arm Lift Surgery?

Arm lift surgery is a cosmetic procedure aimed at enhancing the upper arm's appearance. It's ideal for individuals with sagging skin caused by weight loss, ageing, or genetic factors.

Do I Need Lift Surgery?

Factors such as ageing, significant weight loss, and genetics can lead to drooping upper arms. An arm lift can restore confidence and comfort. It also allows individuals to wear short sleeves without self-consciousness.

How is Arm Lift Surgery Performed?

The procedure involves making incisions on the underside of the arm. Excess skin and fat are removed before tightening the remaining skin. The incision length and pattern depend on the amount and location of excess skin.
