Arm Lift

Arm Lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms to create a firmer, slimmer, and more toned appearance. It is especially beneficial for individuals who experience sagging or 'bat wings' due to aging, genetics, or significant weight loss.

At Medixir Clinic, Arm Lift procedures are personalized based on the patient’s anatomy and goals. We aim to restore definition and proportion in the arms while minimizing visible scarring and maximizing aesthetic outcomes.

The surgery involves making an incision along the inner or back side of the arm. Through this incision, the surgeon removes excess skin and fat and tightens the underlying tissues. In cases with significant fat accumulation, liposuction may be combined for optimal contouring.

The extent of the incision varies depending on the amount of skin laxity. For minimal sagging, a limited incision in the armpit may suffice (mini arm lift), while more extensive cases require an incision running from the armpit to the elbow.

Arm Lift is performed under general anesthesia and takes around 2 to 3 hours. It is often done as a standalone procedure or combined with other body contouring surgeries like tummy tuck or breast lift.

Recovery time is typically 1 to 2 weeks for light activity. Compression garments are worn to reduce swelling and support healing. Most patients return to normal routines in 2 to 3 weeks, avoiding heavy lifting for 4 to 6 weeks.

Scars from Arm Lift are permanent but placed strategically to be less visible. With proper scar care and sun protection, they fade significantly over time.

Results are long-lasting, especially when supported by a stable weight and active lifestyle. Patients report improved confidence, comfort in clothing, and the ability to wear sleeveless styles without concern.

Ideal candidates are those who have loose, sagging upper arm skin that does not improve with exercise, and who are in overall good health and maintain a stable weight.

At Medixir Clinic, our surgeons use refined techniques and artistic vision to deliver beautifully contoured arms that look natural and proportionate to the body.
