An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess loose skin and fat from the upper arms to create a firmer, more contoured appearance. It is most commonly considered by people who have experienced significant weight loss — including after bariatric surgery — or whose upper-arm skin has loosened with age and no longer responds to exercise. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia by a plastic surgeon, and involves making an incision along the inner arm, removing the excess tissue, and re-draping the remaining skin into a tighter shape. Different approaches exist depending on how much skin laxity is present, ranging from a small incision hidden in the armpit for mild cases to a longer incision running from the armpit to the elbow for more significant sagging. Recovery typically involves one to two weeks off work, with full return to upper-body exercise around six weeks.
A small incision hidden in the armpit fold addresses mild skin laxity near the upper arm only, leaving no visible scar along the arm.
