Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

Achieve Toned, Defined Arms with an Arm Lift at N1 Plastic Surgery

Do you feel self-conscious about loose or sagging skin on your upper arms, commonly referred to as “bat wings”?

Whether due to aging, weight fluctuations, or genetics, excess skin and fat on the upper arms can be difficult to address through diet and exercise alone. An arm lift (brachioplasty) is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat, reshaping and toning the upper arms for a more defined, youthful look. At N1 Plastic Surgery, we specialize in advanced arm lift techniques that create natural-looking results while minimizing scarring. With the help of Adoreal’s 3D visualization technology, you can preview your results before surgery, ensuring that your goals are met with precision and confidence.

Types of Arm Lift Procedures

‍

At N1 Plastic Surgery, we offer several arm lift techniques to meet your specific needs, whether you have mild skin laxity or more significant sagging after major weight loss. Each procedure is tailored to your body and aesthetic goals to ensure the best possible outcome.

• Mini Arm Lift: For patients with mild to moderate skin laxity, a mini arm lift involves a smaller incision placed in the armpit. This less invasive procedure tightens the skin in the upper arm while leaving minimal scarring.

• Standard Arm Lift: A standard arm lift is designed for patients with moderate excess skin and fat. The incision typically extends from the armpit down to the elbow along the inner arm, allowing for more comprehensive skin tightening and fat removal.

• Extended Arm Lift: For patients with significant skin laxity or sagging that extends beyond the upper arm to the chest wall, an extended arm lift may be recommended. This involves a longer incision that extends down the arm and into the chest area, providing more extensive contouring for a smoother, more defined look.

‍• Arm Lift with Liposuction: Many patients choose to combine an arm lift with liposuction to remove stubborn fat deposits and further refine the contour of the arms. This combination helps to achieve a more toned and sculpted appearance.

Our Arm Lift Process

‍

1. Consultation & 3D Preview: During your initial consultation, we’ll assess your arms, discuss your goals, and determine the best surgical approach for you. Using Adoreal’s 3D visualization technology, we can show you a preview of your post-surgery results, helping you feel confident about your decision to move forward.

2. Customized Surgical Plan: Based on your specific goals, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your concerns and delivers the most natural-looking results. Whether you need a mini arm lift or a more comprehensive approach, our expert surgeons will ensure that your arms look balanced and toned.

3. Minimally Invasive Procedure: On the day of surgery, our surgeons use advanced techniques to carefully remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms. Incisions are placed strategically to minimize visible scarring, often along the inner arm or within the natural creases of the body

4. Recovery & Aftercare: After your arm lift, we provide detailed post-operative care instructions to help you recover smoothly. You’ll wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and support your arms as they heal. Most patients can return to light activities within 1-2 weeks, with full results becoming visible over the following months.

Recovery After an Arm Lift

‍

• Minimal Downtime: Most patients experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the days following surgery. You’ll wear a compression garment to help reduce swelling and support the healing process.

• Return to Activity: You can expect to return to light activities, such as walking, within the first week, though you should avoid heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for at least 4-6 weeks.

• Final Results: Initial results are visible shortly after surgery, but full results will become apparent as the swelling subsides and the skin tightens around your new arm contours.

‍• Scar Management: While scarring is a natural part of the healing process, our surgeons place incisions in discreet areas to minimize visibility. We’ll provide guidance on how to care for your scars, helping them fade over time and ensuring that they heal as discreetly as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Arm Lift Surgery

Is an arm lift a weight-loss procedure? 

No, an arm lift is not designed for weight loss. It is a body contouring procedure intended to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms. Ideal candidates are those who are near their target weight but have loose or sagging skin that cannot be addressed through diet and exercise alone.

Will I have visible scars after an arm lift? 

Some scarring is inevitable, but our surgeons take great care to place incisions in discreet areas, such as along the inner arm or armpit. Scars typically fade over time and can be easily concealed with clothing. We also provide advice on scar management to promote optimal healing.

How long does the recovery take? 

Most patients can return to light activities within 1-2 weeks, but you’ll need to avoid heavy lifting and vigorous exercise for about 4-6 weeks. Full recovery can take a few months as the swelling subsides and the skin adjusts to your new contours.

Can I combine an arm lift with other procedures? 

Yes! Many patients choose to combine an arm lift with other body contouring procedures such as liposuction, tummy tuck, or thigh lift for more comprehensive results. We’ll discuss your options during your consultation to ensure the best outcome for your body.

Will the results of an arm lift last? 

With a healthy lifestyle and stable weight, the results of an arm lift are long-lasting. However, natural aging and significant weight fluctuations can affect the skin’s elasticity over time, which may alter your results.
