Arm Lift n Plano, TX
What is a 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. Contact our office in Plano, TX or Anna, TX today to schedule a consultation.
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.
What are the Benefits of an Arm Lift?
At Derrick Plastic Surgery, patients who undergo arm lifts experience numerous significant outcomes following their procedure, including:
- Gets rid of extra skin as a result of significant weight loss or aging

Patient Testimonials
- Dr Derrick completed my abdominoplasty on January 20th. He was a recommendation from my weight loss Dr. He was very detailed and thorough with his explanation of the procedure and next steps. Katie checked on me before, during and after my surgery to make sure I was ok and to ease my nerves. My follow up appointment went smoothly and I am healing without issue. My results are great and I have received multiple compliments. I am now looking at having another procedure completed with Dr. Derrick. The Dr and his staff are awesome. This was the best decision ever.read moreread lessMarquita P.4/03/2025Abdominoplasty, Muscle Repair, Liposuction & Large Hernia Repair (Hernia repair done by Dr. Colleen Kennedy)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars
As a 1st grade teacher facing urgent medical circumstances, I needed a surgeon who could handle complex procedures quickly and expertly. Dr. Derrick not only met this challenge but exceeded every expectation I had. The combination of abdominoplasty, muscle repair, liposuction, alongside a very large hernia repair was no small feat, yet the results are absolutely incredible.
Due to my circumstances, timing was everything. Dr. Derrick understood the urgency and had me scheduled for surgery within just two weeks of our consultation. This rapid response, without any compromise in thoroughness or preparation, speaks volumes about the efficiency and dedication of this practice. Despite the quick turnaround, I never felt rushed or that any detail was overlooked.
From the initial consultation through recovery, the entire team made me feel comfortable and well-informed. Dr. Derrick took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, set realistic expectations, and address all my concerns with patience and professionalism. The pre-operative planning was meticulous, and it showed in the final results.
As a 1st grade teacher, I was incredibly concerned about recovery time and getting back to my classroom full of energetic six-year-olds and seven-year-olds. Dr. Derrick’s surgical technique and post-operative care plan were so effective that I was back to work in just three weeks! This recovery timeline seemed impossible given the extent of the procedures, but the combination of expert surgical skill and comprehensive aftercare made it happen. I felt strong enough to handle my teaching duties and even had the energy to keep up with my students.
The transformation has been absolutely incredible. The hernia repair resolved painful symptoms I’d been living with, while the muscle repair restored my core strength completely. The abdominoplasty and liposuction results are stunning – I look and feel better than I have in years. Being able to stand confidently in front of my classroom, move freely without discomfort, and feel strong and healthy again has been life-changing. My students even commented that I seemed happier and more energetic!
From the urgent initial consultation through my remarkably fast recovery, every interaction with Dr. Derrick and the team was professional, compassionate, and thorough. Despite the time pressure, nothing was rushed in terms of explaining procedures, setting expectations, or providing post-operative care. The communication was excellent, and I always felt like a priority patient.
I would recommend Dr. Derrick without hesitation, especially for patients needing multiple procedures or facing time-sensitive situations. The ability to handle such complex surgery with precision while accommodating urgent scheduling needs demonstrates exceptional skill and dedication. For anyone considering similar procedures, particularly those in demanding professions like teaching, you couldn’t be in better hands.

I had round 1 of my plastics journey in January after massive weight loss his work is INCREDIBLE. My scars are thin and are healing beautifully. I always was scared of looking boxy, and I feel like he did an amazing job of following my contouring and truly making my body look amazing! Dr Derrick and his team were fantastic about following up with me and keeping in touch. I was able to text or email with any concerns and they got back with me ALWAYS within a timely manner (I eventually learned I had to tell them not to answer me if it was after 5 or on weekends if it wasn’t important because they will and they deserve time off too!) I can’t wait for round two. They truly provide what I believe to be holistic service and I’m so grateful for my choice!read moreread lessBrooke L.4/14/2025
