Skip to content Does loose skin or sagging upper arms make you feel uncomfortable wearing short sleeves or sleeveless clothing? At the Institute of Aesthetic Surgery, we understand how frustrating it can be when your upper arms don’t match the rest of your healthy, active lifestyle. That’s why our arm lift surgery is made to remove extra skin and bring back a more toned, defined arm shape.
You deserve to feel confident in every outfit and at every age. Whether changes in your arms are due to weight loss, aging, or genetics, our skilled surgeons offer a safe and effective way to reshape your arms and improve your comfort and confidence.
Without surgical support, these concerns typically worsen with time and can hold you back from feeling your best in social and professional settings. An arm lift offers lasting results that can restore your confidence.
Meet with our board-certified surgeons to assess your goals and determine if an arm lift is the right choice for you. We’ll create a custom plan based on your skin quality, arm shape, and desired results.
Arm lift surgery is typically done under general anesthesia and takes about 1.5 to 3 hours. It involves removing extra skin and fat from the upper arms and carefully closing the area to minimize scarring.
Most patients return to light activity within 1 to 2 weeks. We’ll provide clear aftercare instructions and support to help you heal comfortably and safely.
Incisions are carefully placed to be as discreet as possible.
Our staff is here to guide you before, during, and after your surgery.
This procedure is ideal for men and women in good health who are bothered by excess upper arm skin. Candidates often include people who have lost a lot of weight or have age-related skin changes. You should be close to your target weight and have realistic expectations about results and recovery.
You’ll be treated by a board-certified surgeon using proven methods.
Imagine feeling proud to show your arms without hesitation. You’ve worked hard to stay healthy—now let us help you match that effort with smoother, more sculpted arms. Contact the Institute of Aesthetic Surgery today to schedule your consultation and discover if arm lift surgery is right for you.
Arm lift surgery usually takes 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the extent of skin removal and contouring.
There will be a scar along the inside or back of the upper arm. We place incisions carefully and provide tips to help scars fade over time.
Most patients return to light activity within 1 to 2 weeks, with full healing over several weeks. We’ll guide you through each step of recovery.
Some soreness or tightness is common, but pain is usually mild and managed with medication.
Many patients choose to combine an arm lift with other body contouring surgeries, such as a tummy tuck or liposuction.
Your results can last for many years as long as you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle.
