THE PROCEDURE
What It Is
Aging, weight gain or loss, and heredity can cause imbalance, sagging, and loss of proportion in the upper arms and underarm areas. Although exercise is recommended and important, it cannot correct these changes.
Aesthetic surgical techniques involving precise removal of excess fatty collections and skin redundancy combined with repositioning and supporting the tissue of the upper and underarm areas are the most effective and lasting procedures to restore the natural appearance and youthful contour. EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics firmly believes in the importance of improving skin health to optimize the result and longevity of any aesthetic procedure.
Arm lift surgery is recommended for individuals who experience imbalances, sagging, and loss of proportion in the upper and underarm areas due to aging, weight fluctuations, and hereditary factors. While exercise is beneficial, it cannot fully address these changes. The procedure involves the meticulous removal of excess fat and redundant skin and repositioning and supporting the underlying tissue. This results in the most effective and durable solutions for restoring a natural appearance and youthful contour. At EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics, we prioritize enhancing skin health to optimize outcomes and ensure the longevity of any aesthetic procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need an arm lift?
Can I improve sagging skin and fat excess of the upper arms without surgery?
EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics offers many state of the art non-surgical options in addition to cosmetic surgery that can reduce the signs of aging and tighten skin. If you have fatty excess of the upper arms and only moderate skin excess and laxity, Vaser Liposuction (link) can effectively remove fat deposits resulting in improved contour without surgery and larger surgical incisions. Combining Renuvion JPlasma tissue tightening (link) with liposuction is the most effective non-surgical method of firming skin and tissue without surgical dissection and may be an option. An examination and discussion of your goals with Dr Barone is the most effective way to determine your best option.
How much does an arm lift usually cost?
Arm lift or brachioplasty costs will depend on several factors including the extent of the surgery, whether or not other ancillary procedures are planned, the type of anesthesia, location of the surgical facility, and other considerations. You will be provided with a specific and itemized surgical quote from our EVOLV Patient Coordinator explaining and detailing all related costs.
Are all arm lifts basically the same?
Not at all….arm lift or brachioplasty techniques and approach can vary significantly depending on the training and experience of the plastic surgeon and each patient’s unique aging patterns, lifestyle and goals. The position, quality, and extent of the surgical scar in arm lift surgery can vary and are also essential in achieving the best result of each patient. Dr. Barone believes that a more comprehensive approach involving repositioning and deep support of aging tissue, minimizing visible scars, combined with balanced removal of excess fat rather than ’skin pulling techniques’ are the most effective methods to restore a long lasting, balanced and youthful appearance without an ‘operated’ or unnatural look.
What is the expected recovery time after an arm lift?
Recovery or downtime after an arm lift procedure will depend on the surgical technique and the number and extent of accompanying procedures as well as patient age and this should be individualized. It is helpful to remember that ‘recovery’ is a process and progresses thru stages. At EVOLV Plastic Surgery we have found that preparing and restoring optimal skin health with a personalized medical skin care program as well as extensive patient preoperative teaching and education, specific supplements for healing, in addition to post-operative lymphatic and sound wave massage, and LED phototherapy can significantly reduce downtime and improve healing. Our professional staff will review expected recovery times with you to assist with your post procedure planning.
