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.

- 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

Derrick Plastic Surgery Reviews
Just love Dr. Derrick and his staff. They are incredibly kind and helpful. They answered all of my questions and made the whole experience so easy. I had a lift and am looking forward to implants at the end of February. He does great work!
Dr. Derrick did an amazing job on my procedure. He listened to my concerns and answered each question thoroughly. The staff is exceptional. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend Dr. Derrick and his staff!
I cannot brag enough on Dr Derrick and his staff!!!!! I have extreme anxiety, agoraphobia and the lowest self-esteem in the world! Dr Derrick actually listened to me! It’s been two months since my implants and I couldn’t be happier!! The follow up care is unbelievable and his staff is always there when you need them. My self confidence is up, my husband of 30yrs is like a kid in the candy store and I’m actually comfortable being seen in a bikini top for the first time since having kids (so 29 yrs). He chose my implant size and they’re perfect! Not too big, not too small, absolutely perfect for my small frame! I can’t recommend Dr Derrick enough!!!

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.
