An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms to create a firmer, more toned arm contour. At Bellissima Medical Center, arm lift procedures are performed under expert surgical care to restore arm shape and confidence with natural, long-lasting results.
What Is an Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)?
Brachioplasty is a body contouring surgery that addresses loose, sagging skin and excess fat in the upper arms, often resulting from weight loss, aging, or genetic factors. The procedure improves arm definition and creates a smoother, more proportional appearance.
Body Concerns Addressed
An arm lift is commonly performed to address sagging upper arm skin (“bat wings”), excess fat, loss of arm definition, and discomfort caused by skin friction. The procedure enhances arm contour and improves overall body balance.
How an Arm Lift Works
During the procedure, excess skin and fat are removed from the upper arms, and the remaining skin is tightened to create a firmer contour. Liposuction may be combined to further refine arm shape. Incisions are placed strategically to minimize visible scarring.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate?
An arm lift may be suitable for individuals with loose or sagging upper arm skin who are in good overall health and have stable body weight. A comprehensive surgical consultation is required to assess arm anatomy, skin quality, and treatment goals.
The Treatment Process
Consultation & Arm Assessment
Each procedure begins with a detailed consultation, including arm evaluation, medical history review, and discussion of desired outcomes. A personalized surgical plan is developed.
Arm Lift Surgery
The procedure is performed under appropriate anesthesia by a qualified surgeon. Surgical duration varies depending on the extent of correction and whether liposuction is included.
Recovery & Aftercare
Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common initially and gradually subside. Compression garments may be recommended to support healing. Most patients return to normal activities within a few weeks. Detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up visits are provided.
Expected Results
An arm lift aims to create smoother, firmer, and more contoured upper arms. Results are long-lasting, especially when weight remains stable. Final outcomes become more apparent as swelling resolves.
Safety & Medical Standards
All arm lift procedures are performed by qualified surgeons in accredited medical facilities using approved surgical techniques. Patient safety, comfort, and strict medical protocols are maintained throughout the procedure and recovery process.
Before & After Results
Before and after results may show significant improvement in arm contour, firmness, and symmetry. Individual outcomes vary depending on skin quality and healing response.
