Understanding Upper Arm Lift Surgery

An upper arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to address sagging skin on the upper arms caused by aging, genetics, or significant weight loss. The procedure helps patients achieve more defined and contoured arm aesthetics.

Procedure Indications

• Excess, loose skin on upper arms
• Loss of skin elasticity
• Disproportionate arm contours
• Residual skin after substantial weight loss

Surgical Technique

The upper arm lift procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation. An incision is strategically made from the elbow into the armpit, allowing the surgeon to remove excess skin and create a more refined arm profile.

Complementary Procedures

• Liposuction of upper arm or armpit area
• Targeted fat removal
• Skin tightening techniques

Recovery and Healing

After an upper arm lift, patients can expect initial swelling and bruising that gradually subsides over 3-4 weeks. The upper arms are typically wrapped or placed in a compression sleeve to support healing and reduce swelling.

Surgical Expertise

The Center for Plastic Surgery Ann Arbor offers state-of-the-art surgical care with board-certified plastic surgeons who have over 50 years of combined experience in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures.

Cost Considerations
