What is an Arm Lift?
An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a cosmetic surgery designed to reshape and tighten the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. This procedure is ideal for individuals experiencing sagging skin due to ageing, significant weight loss, or genetics.
Many patients choose an arm lift to achieve a more toned, contoured appearance and feel confident wearing sleeveless clothing. While not a weight-loss solution, it is perfect for those with stable weight and realistic goals.
During your free consultation, our experienced surgeons will guide you in determining the best approach tailored to your needs.
What Happens During Surgery?
Arm lift surgery reshapes the upper arms through the following steps:
1. Incisions:
Made along the inner arm or back of the arm to minimise visibility.
2. Fat Removal:
Excess fat may be removed via liposuction.
3. Skin Tightening:
Loose skin is trimmed and tightened for a smoother contour.
4. Closure:
Incisions are carefully closed, and a compression garment is applied to support healing.
The result is more defined, firm, and aesthetically pleasing arms.

FAQ's
Considering surgery often comes with questions about the procedure, recovery, and results. Our FAQ section provides clear, concise answers to help you make informed decisions and feel confident in your journey.
During an arm lift, excess skin and fat are removed from the upper arms. The remaining skin is tightened, and incisions are carefully placed to minimise visible scarring.
Initial recovery takes about 2 weeks, during which swelling and bruising subside. Full recovery, including the fading of scars, can take up to 6 months.
Scars are typically hidden on the inner arm or along the back of the arm. They usually fade significantly over time with proper care.
Yes, an arm lift can often be combined with other body contouring surgeries, such as liposuction or a thigh lift, for a more comprehensive transformation.
