Arm Lift

Many people who have loose skin or extra fat hanging from their upper arms feel self-conscious in social situations and avoid wearing clothing that does not provide complete cover. Batash Aesthetics and Dr. Rojas offer arm lift surgery (brachioplasty) to eliminate loose skin and slim down your upper arms so you can proudly don short sleeves.

An arm lift is also called a brachioplasty and is a cosmetic surgery that gets rid of excess skin and fat from the upper portion of your arms. It is normally done to tighten and reshape the area between the underarm and the elbow to give your arms a slimmer, more toned, and youthful look.

Unfortunately, as you get older, your skin no longer snaps back like it used to, and it is common to develop loose hanging skin that is often called “bat wings.” Sadly, working out and eating a low-calorie diet are normally not effective ways to fix this problem, but arm lift surgery can smooth and reshape your upper arm area and leave them looking more defined, proportionate, and natural-looking.

Men and women who make good candidates for an arm lift feel unhappy or self-conscious about loose, sagging skin on their upper arms. Individuals who may be a good candidate for brachioplasty:

• Have loose or hanging skin on your upper arms from major weight loss or getting older.
• Understand what the surgery can and cannot accomplish and have realistic expectations.
• Are in good health and close to your ideal weight.
• Are free from any health conditions that would prevent you from safely undergoing surgery.
• Do not smoke or use recreational drugs.
• Are not pregnant or breastfeeding

Each surgeon may use their own special technique, but the most common steps used during an arm lift include:

Arm lift surgery is normally done as an outpatient procedure, so you can go home the same day after spending a short time under observation. Once you are discharged to go home, you will be given detailed aftercare instructions that you should follow carefully to ensure your recovery goes smoothly and you get the best results. Full recovery can take between four and six weeks and will depend on the extent of your surgery.

Your arm lift results can last for many years if you take good care of them by implementing clean lifestyle habits and maintaining a healthy weight. Sadly, no surgery can stop the natural progression of aging, so you may experience some skin laxity over the years, but there are a number of non-surgical cosmetic procedures that can correct a small amount of loose skin and refresh your results.

The cost of arm lift surgery with Dr. Rojas can vary based on your needs and the details of your procedure. In the United States, the average starting price for an arm lift is around $6,192, but this figure may not include additional expenses like anesthesia, the facility fee, or the surgeon’s fee.
