What Is Arm Lift Surgery?

Arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat, often resulting from significant weight loss or natural aging. This procedure tightens and contours the upper arm area, creating a more toned appearance. At Derrick Plastic Surgery, Dr. Chase Derrick offers personalized arm lift procedures tailored to meet each patient’s unique goals, helping them achieve enhanced confidence and improved arm definition.

How Is an Arm Lift Performed?

Your arm lift or brachioplasty surgery will be performed in an outpatient facility where you will go home the same day. The arm lift may be added to other procedures, including a mommy makeover, tummy tuck, or thigh lift. An upper arm lift is done with the patient under general anesthesia and can take a few hours to complete. The excess skin will be surgically removed from the elbow to the armpit. The incision will be placed to be as concealed as possible, although it will leave a visible scar. Dr. Derrick will discuss scar treatments with you every step along the way in the healing journey to get the best results. In cases where liposuction is needed to eliminate stubborn pockets of fat, this can be completed at the same time as the arm lift. After the skin is pulled taut, it will be sutured back into place. You will need to keep the incisions clean, covered, and in compression garments while healing. Dr. Derrick will give you instructions that will help promote healthy healing.
