At SkinMD, we understand that despite healthy habits and regular exercise, the upper arms can be one of the most difficult areas to tone. Aging, genetics, and weight fluctuations can lead to loose, sagging skin or excess fat. Our brachioplasty procedure, also known as an arm lift, is designed to contour and refine the upper arms for a smoother, firmer, and more balanced appearance.
Brachioplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms to improve their shape and definition. This procedure is ideal for patients who have developed sagging arms due to weight loss or natural aging. At SkinMD, our surgeons perform this procedure using advanced techniques to minimize scarring while providing natural-looking results.
Brachioplasty effectively addresses:
Arm lift surgery is an ideal solution for patients who want more youthful-looking and toned arms.
Patients choose brachioplasty for many reasons. The benefits of an arm lift include:
With a healthy diet and exercise routine, brachioplasty results are long-lasting, helping patients feel more comfortable and confident in their bodies.
During your brachioplasty procedure, your surgeon will make incisions along the inner arm, typically from the armpit to the elbow, to remove excess skin and fat. In some cases, liposuction may be used. The remaining tissue is then tightened and sutured for a more toned appearance. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia, and most patients return home the same day with detailed post-operative care instructions from their surgeon.
You’ll notice an immediate improvement in the shape and tone of your arms, with continued improvement as swelling decreases in the weeks following surgery. Downtime is typically moderate, with most patients returning to light activities within one to two weeks, while more strenuous exercise is gradually resumed as directed by your surgeon. Scars will fade over time, and most patients experience results that look natural and balanced with their overall physique. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle will help preserve your results for years.

Our founder and medical director, Dr. Paul Flashner, ensures that our master injectors and aestheticians are trained in the latest techniques under his expert guidance.
