About Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
In recent years, the number of men and women suffering from excess skin and fat on the undersides of their upper arms has risen. There are a variety of reasons for this, including but not limited to, any combination of the following:
- Substantial changes in weight
- Loss of skin elasticity
- Family history
- Natural ageing
Unfortunately, this hanging skin and fat tends to be resistant to both diet and exercise and therefore arm lift (brachioplasty) is used in order to remove the extra skin and fat, resulting in a more defined contour.

Arm Lift Procedure:
Like any other surgical procedure, Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) will leave a scar extending from the armpit to the elbow when excess skin needs to be excised. The majority of excess skin is caused by the weight of the fat. Substantial reduction of the fat in the area will cause the skin to contract back to a less loose state. With the input and the expectations of the patient, the excess skin can be removed or not.
If the patient come to Signature Clinic for arm lift procedure with a mild Brachioplasty case, we can use laser or Vaser liposuction alone to the arms, which will provide the patient the skin tightening aspect of the procedure, alongside the aspiration from the melted/burst fat.

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) FAQ
The best candidates for Arm Lift surgery are individuals with loose, sagging skin on the upper arms due to weight loss or ageing. Ideal patients should have a stable weight and be in good overall health.
Recovery from Arm Lift surgery typically takes 4-6 weeks. In the first 1-2 weeks, patients will experience swelling, bruising, and some discomfort. Heavy lifting and intense physical activities should be avoided during the entire recovery period to allow proper healing.
Yes, Arm Lift surgery involves making an incision, which leaves a scar. Scars are usually placed on the underside or back of the arm to minimise visibility. Over time, these scars tend to fade, but their permanence varies from person to person.
The results of Arm Lift surgery can be long-lasting, provided that patients maintain a stable weight and follow a healthy lifestyle. However, factors such as ageing can still affect the appearance of the arms over time.
