A brachioplasty gives you toned, youthful arms you'll want to show off.

The arm lift, more often referred to as a brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that can significantly improve the contour of the upper arm.

While exercise and weightlifting can leave your muscles toned, it cannot do anything to address excess skin that has become loose and saggy. A brachioplasty is the only option to reduce stretched skin and tissue on the upper arm.

Depending on the level of correction needed, some brachioplasty procedures will include liposuction. Lipo can be used to better sculpt the arm, removing excess fatty deposits.

The arm lift procedure will take between two and five hours to perform.

While a mild to moderate level of discomfort is common with all body sculpting procedures, our breast and body specialists will prescribe appropriate pain medications to keep patients comfortable during the recovery period.

Scarring does occur with the arm lift, running along the incision lines. our breast and body specialists will place incisions on the less visible inside area of the arm. Over time, the scar will fade somewhat but will remain visible.

The initial scar will heal in approximately six weeks. Our breast and body specialists will work with the patient for the best scar management.

The results from an arm lift can be long lasting, as long as the patient maintains a stable weight through a healthy lifestyle, although this is dependent on each patient’s individual skin quality and skin laxity.

Most of our breast and body patients are ready to return to work or school less than a week after their brachioplasty procedure.

The brachioplasty is a common procedure and is considered safe for most patients. While complications are very rare, issues that may arise can include scarring, bleeding, skin discoloration, asymmetry, and nerve damage.
