What Is an Arm Lift?

Arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves removing excess skin and fat from the upper arm. This procedure is usually done to address sagging or flabby skin on the upper arms, which can be caused by aging, weight loss, or genetics, and is sometimes known as a “bat wing.” During the procedure, Dr. Rogers will make an incision on the underside of your arm, from the armpit to the elbow.

Excess skin and fat will be removed, and the remaining skin will be pulled tight and sutured back together before the incisions are closed with stitches. The procedure often results in boosted confidence and a more toned appearance. Dr. Leif Rogers, MD, FACS, is a highly experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon with expertise in a range of surgical and non-surgical techniques. This enables him to collaborate with his patients, crafting customized treatment plans that unite them with their ideal cosmetic outcomes.

Is the Arm Lift Right for Me?

The arm lift is typically recommended for individuals who are in good overall health, have realistic expectations about the results of the surgery, and are bothered by excess skin or fat on their upper arms.

You’re likely to be an ideal candidate for a brachioplasty if you’ve recently lost a significant amount of weight and have excess skin on your upper arms, if you have loose or sagging skin on your upper arms due to aging, if you have excess fat on your upper arms that is not responsive to diet and exercise, or if you are bothered by the appearance of your upper arms and wish to improve their body contour and overall appearance. Brachioplasty can address all of these issues, leaving you with a more toned, chiseled set of arms and improving your confidence in how you look. Patients typically report a significantly boosted quality of life, thanks to their ability to show off their toned new look in a wider variety of outfits.

About the Arm Lift Procedure

Anesthesia

Brachioplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia, which means that you will be completely unconscious during the procedure. This allows Dr. Rogers to perform the surgery safely and effectively.

Surgical Details

In most cases, arm lift surgery takes one to two hours to complete. The exact length of your procedure, however, will depend on factors such as the amount of excess skin and fat to be removed and the technique Dr. Rogers ultimately uses.

After the Brachioplasty Procedure

During your brachioplasty in Pasadena, Dr. Rogers will carefully make incisions to remove excess fat and trim away unwanted tissue. Once this is complete, Dr. Rogers will carefully close the incisions, and you’ll spend some time in our recovery area. Arm lift surgery is performed on an outpatient basis, so you’ll be able to head home and start your recovery process on the same day as your procedure. You will need someone to drive you home; however, as your anesthesia will still be in the process of wearing off.
