Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

Weight fluctuations, age and heredity, can cause your upper arms to have a drooping and sagging appearance, which cannot be toned with exercise. What you need is an arm lift!

An arm lift is a cosmetic procedure that reduces excess sagging skin, tightens underlying supportive tissue to define the shape and contour of the upper arm and reduces pockets of fat in the region.

TREATMENT

How Does Arm Lift Work?

During an arm lift surgery, the plastic surgeon removes excess fat, tissue and skin from the upper arm. In doing so, the surgeon contours or shapes the upper arm, giving it a toned appearance and a smoother contour.

Results & Recovery After Arm Lift?

Recovery after an arm lift is short. You can return to your work and daily activities in 10-14 days. Our surgeons will instruct you on how to take the best care of your wound, including using an elastic bandage and compression garment.

Take the prescribed medications to reduce pain and swelling in the first few days after the procedure.

Immediately after the arm lift procedure, you will notice mild swelling and bruising in the treated area. The smoother and tighter contours of the upper arm will become visible immediately after the procedure. However, the complete results will only appear after a few months.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Arm lift surgery is performed under anaesthesia, so you will not feel any pain during the procedure. You may experience mild to moderate pain on the first day after the surgery, but it will reduce and get better over the next few days.

To prepare for an arm lift surgery, you will be required to:

  • Get a lab test or medical evaluation
  • Take medications prescribed by your doctor or adjust the current ones
  • Stop smoking
  • Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs that may interfere with blood clotting. This may increase your risk of bleeding during or after surgery.

The results of arm lift surgery are considered permanent, provided your weight remains constant, you eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. However, you may experience changes in your arm tone due to ageing changes.

You may take 1 to 2 weeks to recover from arm lift surgery. Follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions to ensure complete healing and a reduced risk of complications.

Arm lift surgery does leave a scar, but it fades over time. If you are concerned about scars from an arm lift, speak to your surgeon.

As with any surgery, the arm lift procedure has several potential risks. These include:

  • Bleeding from the site
  • Damage to deeper tissues
  • Infection
  • Fluid accumulation
  • Death of fatty tissue
  • Unaesthetic scarring
  • Poor wound healing
  • Pain
