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?
Typically, your arm lift surgery will be performed in an outpatient facility, except in cases where several cosmetic surgeries are scheduled to be performed at once. An upper arm lift may be added to other procedures, including a mommy makeover, tummy tuck, or thigh lift. An upper arm lift is usually 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 all the way up to the armpit. The incision will be placed to be as concealed as possible, although it will leave a visible scar. In cases where liposuction is needed to eliminate stubborn pockets of fat, this can be completed as well. After the skin is pulled taut, it will be sutured back into place. You will need to keep the incisions cleaned, covered, and in compression garments. Dr. Derrick will give you instructions that will help promote healthy healing.

From checking in on me to answering all my random questions! Dr Derrick listened to all my concerns wants and needs and made my wishes come true of my result expectations and beyond. He made me feel so comfortable about the whole process and results❤️
Excellent service thank you doctor plana for making me so beautiful I loved my surgery they have the best nurses also very kind thank you 🙏🏻
I first encountered Dr Derrick in a professional setting and liked how careful he was with his patients. When I discovered recently that one of my 17 year old breast implants had ruptured he came to my mind immediately. After doing a little more research and especially after the initial consultation with him and his staff I was totally comfortable moving forward with an implant exchange with him. I am obviously not nearly as young as was the first go around which is always a worry but everything turned out even better than I had hoped for. I am so so happy with my results. Even more, I really felt like Dr Derrick and his staff appreciated my choosing them and expressed that in the way they (Katie!) greeted us for appointments and and in how they continue to check on how I’m doing and are quick with responses to any questions that I may have. Highly recommend and will be a repeat customer if I ever need/want another procedure.
Dr. Derrick and his team were absolutely incredible! After having consultations with several other plastic surgeons in the area, I had a consultation with Dr. Derrick wanting to discuss a hernia repair and possible tummy tuck with liposuction. I was incredibly nervous as this would be first surgery ever and he answered all of my questions thoroughly and even gave his opinion on what he would do and more importantly, why. He ended up performing an extended tummy tuck, liposuction and was able to repair my 13 year old hernia. His coordinator was always available to answer any of my questions both before and after my surgery. I am now 6 weeks post-surgery and I LOVE my results. Far exceeded what I thought was possible!

What to Expect
A typical recovery time frame may take an estimated two weeks with lots of rest, arm elevation. Permit yourself time to heal. You use your arms for everything, so patients should ease their way back to their usual routines. A suture removal appointment will be made approximately ten days after surgery. Compression garments must be kept on until you receive permission from Dr. Derrick. For at least 4 – 5 weeks, all exercise and strenuous activity should be eliminated, with the exception of short walks. If you observe uncontrolled bleeding, excessive swelling, fluid buildup (hematoma), infection, numbness in the hands or arms, or unusual scarring, please call Derrick Plastic Surgery for help.
