An arm lift surgery cost can vary substantially depending on the extent of sagging skin, whether liposuction is also required, the surgeon's expertise, the hospital facilities and the city. This body-contouring procedure is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms, creating a tighter, more youthful contour.

At Medicover Hospitals, arm lift surgeries are carried out by experienced plastic surgeons using modern techniques to ensure optimal results, minimal downtime and enhanced comfort.

What is Arm Lift Surgery?

Arm lift surgery, technically called brachioplasty, is a cosmetic procedure focused on the upper arms (between the armpit and the elbow). It removes excess loose skin and fat, tightens the underlying tissues and improves the arm's appearance and shape.

It is often sought after by people who have experienced significant weight loss, whose arms have sagging skin, or by those who wish to restore a firmer arm contour due to aging.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long does arm lift surgery last?

The results of an arm lift, or brachioplasty, are long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. While natural aging and gravity may cause minor changes over time, the improved contour of the arms usually remains for many years.

2. What's the best age for an arm lift?

There is no strict age limit for an arm lift, but it is generally performed on adults whose arms have excess skin or fat that has not responded to diet and exercise. Many patients are in their 30s to 60s, though overall health and skin elasticity are more important than age.

3. Is an arm lift permanent?

An arm lift provides permanent removal of excess skin and fat in the treated area. However, factors like significant weight fluctuations, aging, and loss of skin elasticity can affect the long-term appearance. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve results.

4. How do you sleep after an arm lift?

After an arm lift, it is recommended to sleep with your arms elevated, often using pillows to support them and reduce swelling. Many patients sleep on their back with arms slightly raised for the first few weeks to ensure comfort and proper healing.

5. What is the alternative to an arm lift?

Alternatives to an arm lift include non-surgical treatments such as liposuction, radiofrequency skin tightening, or laser therapy. These methods may reduce fat and tighten skin slightly but are generally less effective for significant excess skin compared to surgery.
