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. 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
- Decreased rubbing, sensitivity, and pain between the upper body and arms
- Solution for problem areas that seem to be stubborn despite physical activity or dieting
- Boosted confidence and choices when choosing sleeveless tops
- Can be performed in addition to other cosmetic procedures

Dr. Derrick & his staff have been so wonderful through the entire process, from consult to surgery and post-op!! I couldn’t be happier with my results!!
I’ve always had a fantastic experience with Dr. Derrick and his team! He truly takes the time to listen to what you want to achieve and ensures you feel comfortable every step of the way.

I had a breast lift with implants back in January, and love my results. 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!

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.
