An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical intervention that corrects issues in the upper arms, including excess fat, loose skin, diminished firmness, and irritation from skin chafing. This customized procedure meets your specific needs, resulting in more defined, toned, and youthful-looking arms.

An arm lift in Los Angeles typically takes a few hours and is performed under general anesthesia in our cutting-edge ambulatory surgical center on-site. The surgery involves trimming away excess skin, removing stubborn fat through liposuction, and tightening the arm tissue. Depending on the level of correction required, incisions may extend from the armpit to the elbow or be shorter in length.

Adhere to your surgeon’s pre-operative guidelines, which may include quitting smoking, adjusting current medications, and arranging for assistance during your recovery period.
While risks such as infection and unfavorable scarring exist, they are rare when performed by our skilled, board-certified surgeons. Athēnix utilizes our state-of-the-art facilities' safest and most efficient techniques to minimize surgical risks.
Scars are inevitable, typically located on the inner arm, but they generally fade over time. Our surgeons employ the latest, least invasive techniques to ensure that scarring is as minimal and inconspicuous as possible.
The results of an arm lift are long-lasting, although the natural aging process continues. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and stable weight can help extend the longevity of your arm lift results.
Initially, there will be restrictions on heavy lifting, but these limitations will gradually be lifted as you recover. Once cleared by your surgeon, you can resume regular activities, including lifting heavy objects.
