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.

- 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

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!
Dr. Derrick and his team are absolutely amazing! Starting from my consult and through my recovery, I have been treated like I was a top priority. Dr. Derrick truly cares about his patients and exceeds expectations. I am over the moon with my results. Dr. Derrick changed my life in the best way possible!
This has been an amazing experience from the staff to Dr.Derrick. I felt so comfortable and at ease in my consultation with Dr. Derrick and how thorough he was in explaining the process that I locked in my appointment the same day, I didn’t want to look any further. Before and after the procedure they are very attentive and check in almost daily. If I had to do it all over again definitely choosing Dr. Derrick!!!
Dr. Derrick, Katie, Maggie, and Lola🐶 have provided an outstanding experience throughout my entire journey. From the initial consultation to pre-op discussions, the surgery itself, and all follow-up appointments, everything has been exceptional. I underwent a lower face and neck lift with fat grafting, with very little pain and a remarkably smooth recovery. While full healing takes about six months, I’m already thrilled with the results just four weeks after the surgery. During the first two weeks post-surgery, Katie was in touch almost daily, checking in on my well-being and addressing any questions or concerns I had. Dr. D is truly an artist! I would definitely recommend Dr. D and his team for any cosmetic surgeries, procedures, or injectables. You will be more than satisfied!

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.
