An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat, and tightening the underlying supportive tissues.
If considering arm lift surgery, schedule a consultation with Dr. Nguyen. During the consultation, Dr. Nguyen will evaluate your medical history, assess your aesthetic goals, explain the procedure in detail, and discuss expected outcomes, potential risks, and alternatives.

Arm lift surgery is typically sought by individuals who have excess, sagging skin on their upper arms due to factors such as aging, significant weight loss, or genetics. It aims to achieve a more toned and contoured appearance of the arms.
During an arm lift procedure, Dr. Nguyen makes incisions on the inner or back of the upper arms. The length and pattern of incisions depend on the amount of excess skin to be removed. Through these incisions, excess fat may be removed via liposuction, and the underlying supportive tissues are tightened. The remaining skin is then draped smoothly over the newly contoured arm and excess skin is trimmed. Finally, the incisions are closed with sutures.
These are just a few commonly asked questions about arm lift surgery. If you have specific concerns or questions, it's best to discuss them with Dr. Nguyen during a consultation.
Good candidates for an arm lift are individuals who have excess skin and fat in the upper arms, often due to aging, weight loss, or genetics. Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery.
During an arm lift, Dr. Nguyen makes incisions on the inner or back of the arms, depending on the extent of correction needed. Excess skin and fat are then removed, and the remaining skin is tightened and smoothed to create a more defined arm contour.
Recovery from an arm lift typically involves swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the arms for several weeks. Patients may need to wear compression garments to support the healing tissues and reduce swelling. Strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks, and patients should follow Dr. Nguyen's post-operative instructions carefully.
Like any surgical procedure, an arm lift carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, poor wound healing, fluid accumulation, asymmetry, numbness, and scarring. These risks are relatively low when the procedure is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon in an accredited facility.
The results of an arm lift are long-lasting, provided that the patient maintains a stable weight and follows a healthy lifestyle. However, factors such as aging, weight fluctuations, and genetics can affect the longevity of the results over time.
The cost of an arm lift varies depending on factors such as the extent of the procedure, and whether it is combined with other surgeries. It's essential to obtain a personalized cost estimate during a consultation with Dr. Nguyen.
