Arm Lift
Over time, factors like aging, genetics, and significant weight loss can cause the upper arms to lose firmness and develop loose, hanging skin. For many, this makes it difficult to feel confident wearing sleeveless clothing or form-fitting tops. An arm lift (brachioplasty) is designed to remove excess skin and fat, tighten underlying tissues, and restore a smoother, more youthful contour to the upper arms.
At our Jacksonville plastic surgery practice, we specialize in creating natural, balanced results that enhance your overall body shape while maintaining proportion and harmony.
An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a body contouring procedure designed to reshape the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat while tightening underlying tissues. Over time, factors such as aging, genetics, and weight fluctuations can cause the skin on the upper arms to lose elasticity, resulting in sagging or a “bat wing” appearance.
Every arm lift is customized to meet your unique anatomy and goals. Our Jacksonville plastic surgeon uses advanced techniques to ensure balanced, natural-looking results with discreet incision placement. During your consultation, we will discuss your aesthetic goals, review your options, and design a treatment plan that aligns with your body and confidence goals.
A brachioplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia and can take one to three hours, depending on the extent of correction needed. The procedure involves:
Most patients return home the same day and can resume light activities within one to two weeks. Compression garments and proper post-surgical care are recommended to support healing and improve results.
Most patients return to daily routines within two weeks, with swelling and mild discomfort subsiding steadily. Results become more visible as healing progresses, revealing smoother, firmer, and more contoured upper arms. Final outcomes are long-lasting and can be maintained through a stable weight and regular exercise.
