What Is an Arm Lift?

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms, restoring a more toned, youthful contour. It’s ideal for individuals struggling with skin sagging due to aging or significant weight loss.

The Beauty of Sculpted Arms

If you’re bothered by loose, hanging skin on your upper arms and long to wear sleeveless clothing with confidence, an arm lift can deliver transformative results—firmer, slimmer, and more elegant-looking arms that complement your overall physique.

Who Is a Candidate?

You may be a good candidate for arm lift surgery if:

  • You have noticeable sagging or excess skin on your upper arms
  • You’ve lost a significant amount of weight (post-bariatric patients often benefit greatly)
  • You’re at a stable weight and in good general health
  • You want long-lasting improvement in upper arm contour

Tailored Surgical Planning at Davinci Clinic

At Davinci Clinic, we understand that no two bodies—or goals—are the same. That’s why we offer a personalized approach to every arm lift procedure. Dr. Michael A. Fahim and his expert team will evaluate your anatomy and goals to create a surgical plan tailored specifically to you, using the latest techniques for optimal outcomes.

Liposuction vs. Arm Lift Surgery

If your upper arms have good skin elasticity with minimal sagging, liposuction alone may be a suitable option to remove unwanted fat and refine your shape.

However, if you have loose, excess skin, especially when raising your arms, an arm lift is the most effective solution. In most cases, the procedure includes both liposuction and skin tightening for a firm, toned appearance.

Arm Lift Surgical Techniques

There are three main techniques widely used:

1. Standard Brachioplasty

A full arm lift where the incision runs along the inner arm from the elbow to the armpit (hidden when arms are at your side).
Best for: Moderate to significant sagging
Benefits: Superior results with a discreet scar location

2. L-Shaped Brachioplasty

Extends the standard arm lift incision into the armpit area and the side of chest wall.
Best for: Patients with extreme skin laxity (typically after massive weight loss)
Benefits: Also tightens loose skin in the upper back/underarm area; may eliminate the need for shaving the underarm

3. Limited Scar Brachioplasty

Scar is confined to the armpit.
Best for: Mild skin laxity only
Benefits: Minimal, hidden scar only limited to the armpit
Limitations: Less dramatic results than standard techniques

What to Expect from an Arm Lift

  • Slimmer, firmer upper arms with youthful definition
  • A significant reduction in sagging skin
  • Scars placed strategically to remain hidden in most clothing styles
  • A boost in confidence when wearing sleeveless or fitted tops

What About Scars?

As with any surgical procedure, scarring is expected. However, we take every measure to ensure they are:

  • Discreetly placed on the inner side of the arms
  • As short as possible, based on the surgical technique and the desired goal
  • Well-concealed when your arms are at rest or in clothing

Short-scar techniques leave a nearly invisible mark inside the armpit but are only suitable for select cases.

Recovery After Arm Lift Surgery

Recovery is generally smooth and well-tolerated. Here’s what to expect:

  • Pain Management: Easily controlled with oral medications, patches, or injections if needed
  • Swelling: Common and peaks within the first 2 weeks
  • Sutures: Usually self-dissolving; if not, removed by day 10–14
  • Drains: Rarely required, but if placed, they are removed within a few days
  • Compression Garment: Worn for 3 weeks to minimize swelling and support healing
  • Mobility: walking is encouraged early on
  • Downtime: 2 weeks off work; avoid the gym for 1 month; full recovery by 6–8 weeks
  • Results: Initial results are visible as swelling subsides, with final contour seen within 3 months
