What is an Arm Lift?

Sagging skin in the upper arms may be related to genetic factors, or it may be a result of the gradual aging process that happens to us all. Substantial weight loss may also contribute to a less than ideal upper body profile. For most clients, this redundant skin cannot be removed through dieting and exercise and requires a surgical intervention in order to contour and sculpt the physique.

Many patients forego their enjoyment of sleeveless tops and dresses due to self-consciousness about their upper arms. In certain cases, excess hanging skin can lead to chafing, irritation, and discomfort as well. Our arm lift in Denver can combat these concerns, removing excess skin and fat and restoring a toned, slender appearance that makes the client look more youthful.

How is Arm Lift Surgery Performed?

Arm lift surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis at our world-class in-office operating suite, accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF). The procedure typically takes 2-4 hours. If other treatments such as a mommy makeover are combined with an arm lift, total recovery time may be extended. The techniques and incisions used are always personalized to your individual anatomy, lifestyle, scarring concerns, comfort levels, and aesthetic tastes.

Our arm lift in Denver can be performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation with local anesthesia. Your surgeon will help decide the best type of anesthesia for you during your private consultation. During surgery, the doctor will trim away excess sagging skin, reshaping the upper arm contours to appear more elegant, toned, and youthful. Redundant skin folds known as "bat wings" will be eliminated. Localized fat can be addressed via liposuction. Your surgeon will always go to great lengths to ensure scarring is well-hidden and inconspicuous.

In terms of incision placement, your surgeon will choose from a short-scar arm lift to address mild skin ptosis (the incision is placed within the folds of the armpit); a limited incision arm lift to address moderate excess skin (the incision stretches from the armpit to the mid upper arm); a conventional arm lift to combat moderate to severe skin laxity (the incision extends from the armpit to the elbow); or an extended arm lift to correct severe skin laxity (the incision runs from the armpit to the elbow and may extend to the chest wall).

Can An Arm Lift Be Combined With Other Procedures?

An arm lift is often combined with additional body contouring procedures, such as gynecomastia treatment, a breast lift, breast reduction or augmentation, a thigh lift, a tummy tuck, or a full body mommy makeover. Our team can also perform facial rejuvenation treatments for you in tandem with your brachioplasty. Liposuction is a natural addition to an arm lift and is used to combat excess fat.

Combining surgical procedures can help reduce overall costs, discomfort, and recovery time, allowing patients to streamline their makeovers. If you are interested in pursuing additional treatments, be sure to discuss this with us during your private consultation. We can create a customized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs.
