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.

Dr. Derrick is very personable, knowledgeable, and professional. The staff made me feel very comfortable and answered all of my questions. My friend had implants done and I loved her work. That is what prompted me to book a consult with Dr. Derrick, and I am SO GLAD that I did. I had breastfed two kids for three years, so my breasts were very deflated, saggy, and unsymmetrical. They look amazing now, and I have so much more confidence in my clothes. The staff and Dr. have continued to provide wonderful post-op care and clarification on my progress and questions. I very much recommend this doctor, you will not regret seeing Dr. Derrick!read moreread lessTeresa T.3/27/2025An amazing experience from start to finish.

- Dr Derrick and his team were fantastic. 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.4/14/2025Dr Derrick did my abdominoplasty in March 2025.
