Arm lifting
Many women may suffer from an uneven distribution of fat in the body and the resulting inconsistent appearance, as many of them suffer from a large accumulation of fat in the arms, and even those who underwent bariatric surgeries may suffer from disproportionate weight loss and accumulation of fat in the arms.

It is a cosmetic surgical procedure that works to get rid of the accumulation of fat in the arms that is disproportionate to the shape of the body, as body fat is difficult to get rid of, so the surgeons in the Excellage Clinic work by cutting the skin in the arms, liposuction, re-stitching the wound, and obtaining a lift for the arms.

The Arm Lift Procedure
Arm lift surgery is typically conducted under general anesthesia for the patient’s comfort.
Your surgeon will begin by making incisions on the inner sides of your arms. The specific pattern and length of these incisions will depend on the amount of skin that needs to be removed.
Using these incisions, the surgeon will tighten and reposition the underlying tissues of the arm, securing them with surgical sutures. In some cases, liposuction may also be employed to eliminate excess fat, enhancing the definition and tone of the arms.
Afterward, the skin is carefully laid over the newly shaped contours, and any surplus skin is excised.
Finally, the surgeon will close the incisions using surgical tape or sutures. The duration of an arm lift procedure typically ranges from 1 to 3 hours, but it may take longer depending on the complexity of the case.
Candidates for arm lift
This procedure is suitable for people who may suffer from an inconsistent accumulation of fat in the back of the arms, or people who have undergone bariatric surgeries and lost a lot of weight but without losing the required weight from the arms, or who have an inconsistent and sagging appearance of the skin in this area.
Reasons for the accumulation of fat in the arms
The accumulation occurs on the back of the arms for a number of reasons, including those directly related to body fat, and others that go beyond it to other reasons, including:
- Changes in skin elasticity that occur with age.
- Losing a lot of weight with or without bariatric surgery while maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
- The presence of certain genetic factors that cause sagging skin.

Advantages of Arm Lift Surgery
Arm lift surgery is a reliable procedure that provides significant and enduring outcomes. The shape and definition of the arms can see a remarkable enhancement, allowing individuals to appreciate the benefits of brachioplasty for years to come.
Although the natural aging process cannot be completely halted, arm lift surgery can:
- Firm up the skin around the arms
- Create a more sculpted appearance for the arms
- Alleviate issues related to skin friction
- Reduce discomfort from excess skin on the arms
- Enhance self-confidence
- Increase comfort when wearing a wider range of clothing options
Recovery
Planning for a recovery period of one to two weeks is essential following your arm lift surgery. You will receive specific post-operative guidelines from your surgeon, detailing each phase of the healing process. It’s crucial to keep an eye on the surgical site for any changes, and you should immediately inform your surgeon if you notice increased swelling, redness, or any drainage.
You’ll likely see tighter, smoother, and more defined arm contours shortly after the surgery. While bruising and swelling are normal, these should begin to diminish within two weeks. A scar will form where the incision was made, but it typically improves and fades significantly over time.
Discomfort is common after the procedure, and your surgeon will prescribe medication to help manage any pain. Following the surgery, your incisions will be covered with bandages, and your arms will be wrapped in compression garments to reduce swelling. Drains may be placed to help eliminate any excess fluid or blood.
For the first 3 to 4 weeks, it is advisable to avoid raising your arms above shoulder height. Strenuous activities and physical exercise should be avoided for 4 to 8 weeks to prevent stressing the incisions.
Some stitches used during the procedure may dissolve on their own, while others will need to be removed during a follow-up appointment. Be sure to inquire about your specific stitch removal timeline with your doctor.
