How Does Upper Inner
Arm Lift Surgery Work?

When nonsurgical treatment does not help you get the toned, youthful appearance you want, you might consider an arm lift to improve the physical appearance of your upper inner arms. During this procedure, our skilled plastic surgeon can alter the contour of your upper arm.

Our surgeon uses several surgical techniques to help patients meet their cosmetic goals. Generally, there are three procedures you might receive based on your goals and circumstances:

• Liposuction: When patients have excellent skin elasticity but are unhappy with the amount of fat on their upper inner arm, liposuction removes excess fat volume.
• Mini-brachioplasty: When people are at or just above their healthy weight, they often have a small amount of excess fat in addition to lax skin in this area. This is most common in women as they reach middle age. This procedure includes liposuction as well as a removal of a small amount of skin.
• Traditional brachioplasty: This extensive surgery is most common in those with massive weight loss. When they reach an ideal body weight, they often have excessive, lax skin. Removing the skin improves the look of the arm, aids ease of movement, and reduces chafing. This procedure requires the longest surgical time and has an extended recovery, including wearing special compression garments and limiting strenuous activities for several weeks.

Who Gets Upper
Arm Lift Surgery?

Patients of all ages and both genders get upper arm lift surgery. They often come from one of two groups:

• Those who have lost a lot of weight from dieting, physical activity, or bariatric surgery
• Those who do not like the appearance of their inner arms because of the effects of aging or lifestyle changes

What Symptoms Will
Upper Inner Arm Lift
Surgery Address?

When patients come to Palm Beach Dermatology Group for upper inner arm lift surgery, they generally have concerns they hope to address with the procedure. For many, it is a purely cosmetic procedure. They do not like how their upper arms look and are tired of hiding behind long sleeves during the hot summers. They want to wear fashionable clothes and feel confident in them. Others have discomfort related to their excess skin and request this procedure to stop it. Arm lift surgery can help to:

• Remove excess fat: An arm lift can remove pockets of fat to produce a natural-looking result.
• Improve appearance: Arm lift procedures help make muscle tone more obvious by removing excess fat and skin.
• Tighten loose skin: Many people dislike the look of loose, aging, crepe-like skin on their upper arms. Tightening this skin greatly improves the cosmetics of the arm.
• Ease movement and reduce chafing: Those with excess skin often struggle with discomfort during strenuous activities, including bouncing, rubbing, and chafing. An arm lift can greatly reduce this concern.
