An arm lift, also known as a brachioplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes the underside of the upper arm to restore a more youthful shape. Brachioplasty removes excess skin and/or fat that causes the area spanning from the elbow to the armpit to sag, producing a “winging” effect. Brachioplasty is ideal for individuals with skin laxity due to aging, significant weight loss, or genetic predisposition of the upper arms to sag or appear loose.

These patients are chosen to represent examples of achievable results, although
results vary based on initial presentation and outcome goals. The impressive outcomes
shown in these before and after images underline the importance of choosing the
right plastic surgeon for your needs.
Brachioplasty is a same day (outpatient) procedure. Once you arrive at our designated surgical center and speak with the anesthesiologist, you will be placed under general anesthesia.
Brachioplasty incisions are placed on the back of the arm (posteriorly) or inside the arm (medially) where the arm rests along the body depending on individual patient preference and goals. The length of the incision depends on the severity of laxity and the amount of skin to be excised. Regardless of where the incision is placed, a scar will be intermittently visible when the arm is in certain positions. After making the incision, your surgeon Dr. Martin will remove excess fat and skin from the arm. Internal sutures are placed and the remaining skin is then smoothed over the new contour of the arm prior to final sutures and dressings.
