About the procedure

A little clarity.
A considered decision.

An arm lift, also called brachioplasty, addresses loose skin along the upper arm between the underarm and elbow. It may also involve reducing local fat and reshaping supporting tissue. Changes after weight loss and ageing can leave skin that does not respond to exercise alone. The amount and position of loose skin guide the approach and scar pattern. Your consultation should balance the desired contour change against permanent scars, healing considerations and the support needed during your individual recovery.

A little clarity

Your questions,
answered.

How does it differ from arm liposuction?

An arm lift removes loose skin; liposuction mainly removes fat.

Can scars be avoided?

No. Removing excess skin requires incisions, and scar placement varies.

Is the same technique used for everyone?

No. Skin distribution and your assessment guide the surgical approach.

Does adding this procedure confirm my suitability?

No. Build My Plan records your interests for discussion. A qualified clinician must assess suitability, risks and any alternatives.

How do I find out my own recovery plan?

Ask your treating team for written instructions, review arrangements and contact details appropriate to your procedure and health.
