Also known as brachioplasty, an arm lift is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. As we age or experience significant weight changes, the skin on the arms can become loose, creating a sagging appearance that exercise alone cannot correct. An arm lift trims this excess tissue and tightens the underlying structures, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more sculpted arms.
You may be an ideal candidate for brachioplasty if you experience loose or hanging upper arm skin due to aging, weight loss, or skin laxity. Candidates should be in generally good health, at a stable weight, and nonsmokers or willing to quit before surgery. During your consultation at Athenix Phoenix, we will assess your goals and anatomy to determine if an arm lift is the right fit for you.

Does skin tone or age affect eligibility for an arm lift?
Yes, many patients choose to combine an arm lift with other body contouring procedures such as a tummy tuck, breast lift, or liposuction for more comprehensive results. Your Athenix surgeon can recommend the safest and most effective combination for your goals.
While arm lifts can be performed year-round, many patients prefer scheduling during cooler months when long sleeves can comfortably conceal post-surgical garments during recovery.
We offer a variety of financing plans through trusted partners to help make your procedure accessible. During your consultation, our staff will walk you through payment options tailored to your needs.
