What Is an Arm Lift?

Arm lift   also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical body contouring procedure that targets sagging skin and stubborn fat on the upper arms. Over time, factors such as aging, genetics, and significant weight changes can cause the inner arm area to lose elasticity and develop loose, hanging skin — sometimes referred to as “bat wings.”

Arm lift surgery removes excess skin and underlying fat to create a leaner, more toned arm contour. Unlike non‑surgical treatments, which may help with mild skin tightening, an arm lift offers direct surgical reshaping, delivering more dramatic and long‑lasting results.
(this principles are supported by standard medical sources such as the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.)

Who Is a Good Candidate for Arm Lift?

You may be an ideal candidate if you:

  • Have sagging skin on your upper arms

  • Notice stubborn arm fat that does not respond to exercise

  • Experienced significant weight loss resulting in loose skin

  • Are in good overall health

  • Desire defined, toned arm contours rather than general weight loss

Patients with moderate sagging may also qualify for less extensive procedures, which our surgeons will discuss during your consultation.
