An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove loose skin from the upper arms. This procedure is particularly effective for individuals with moderate to severe sagging, where non-surgical treatments, like radiofrequency skin tightening, may not be sufficient. While these non-invasive options can address mild sagging in patients with good skin elasticity, surgery is generally necessary to tackle significant skin laxity.

During a brachioplasty, an incision is made along the inner arm, usually stretching from the armpit down to the elbow. This incision is placed in a way that minimizes visibility, often lying flat along the inner part of the arm.

Dr Uppal removes excess skin in an elliptical shape. Arm lifts can be done with liposuction to further enhance contouring by removing unwanted fat, resulting in a more sculpted and defined upper arm.
