The upper arms are a common area of concern for both men and women, particularly after significant weight loss or as part of the natural aging process. Loose, sagging skin and stubborn fat deposits can make the arms appear less toned, even with a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise. Many individuals find this frustrating, as it can limit clothing choices and affect self-confidence.
At Cosmetic Surgery Specialists of Memphis, Dr. Peter Aldea and Dr. Patricia Eby provide advanced arm lift procedures as part of their comprehensive body procedures to help patients achieve slimmer, more contoured arms. As board-certified plastic surgeons with years of experience, they are dedicated to delivering results that look natural, balanced, and tailored to each individual’s needs.
What is an Arm Lift?
An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms to create a smoother and more toned appearance. The procedure addresses sagging skin that exercise alone cannot correct, commonly referred to as “bat wings.”
During the surgery, an incision is typically made along the inside of the arm to remove excess tissue and tighten the underlying structures. In some cases, liposuction may also be used to remove excess fat and further refine the results. The outcome is firmer, slimmer arms that complement the natural proportions of the body.
The Benefits of an Arm Lift
An arm lift provides patients with results that cannot be achieved through diet and exercise alone. By removing loose, sagging skin and excess fat, the procedure creates a more toned and youthful contour in the upper arms. Patients often find they feel more confident wearing short-sleeved or sleeveless clothing, and the improvement in arm shape enhances overall body proportions. Because results are long-lasting, patients can enjoy the benefits of their new contours for many years with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
Who is a Good Candidate for Brachioplasty?
Arm lift surgery is best suited for individuals who are bothered by sagging or excess skin in the upper arms. Good candidates typically include those who:
- Have lost significant weight and are left with loose upper arm skin
- Experience sagging skin due to aging
- Are at or near a stable weight
- Are in good general health and do not smoke
- Have realistic expectations about the procedure and results
