Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

At SkinergyMD, we recognize that even with consistent exercise and healthy habits, the upper arms can be resistant to change. Factors such as aging, genetics, and weight fluctuations often lead to loose skin or excess fat that does not respond to lifestyle efforts alone. Brachioplasty, also known as arm lift surgery, is designed to improve the contours of the upper arms, resulting in a smoother, firmer, more proportionate appearance.

Our team offers brachioplasty as part of a comprehensive body-contouring approach for patients throughout Southeast Michigan, including Birmingham, Troy, and Grosse Pointe.

What Is Brachioplasty?

Brachioplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms to improve tone and definition. It is ideal for patients who experience sagging or lax skin following significant weight loss or natural aging. At SkinergyMD, our providers use refined surgical techniques to create natural-looking results while placing incisions as discreetly as possible. This procedure is customized to each patient’s anatomy, goals, and skin quality to ensure balanced results.

What Can Brachioplasty Treat?

Brachioplasty can effectively address a variety of concerns, including:

• Loose or hanging skin along the upper arms
• Fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise
• Reduced skin elasticity after weight loss
• Discomfort, chafing, or irritation caused by excess skin

Arm lift surgery is well-suited for patients seeking more toned, youthful-looking arms.

What Are the Benefits of Brachioplasty?

Many patients choose brachioplasty to improve both comfort and appearance. Benefits may include:

• Firmer, more sculpted upper arms
• Smoother skin and improved arm contours
• Removal of excess skin for lasting physical comfort
• Enhanced results when combined with liposuction
• Increased confidence

With a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle, the results of brachioplasty can be long-lasting.

What Does Brachioplasty Involve?

During a brachioplasty procedure, incisions are typically made along the inner portion of the upper arm, extending from the armpit toward the elbow. Excess skin and fat are removed, and in some cases, liposuction is used. The remaining tissue is tightened to achieve a smoother and more toned appearance.

Brachioplasty is usually performed under general anesthesia, and most patients return home the same day. Our team provides detailed post-operative instructions to support safe healing and optimal results.

What Results Can I Expect from Brachioplasty?

Patients often notice visible improvements in arm shape soon after surgery, with continued refinement as swelling subsides over the following weeks. Most individuals return to light activities within one to two weeks, while more strenuous exercise is gradually resumed based on guidance from our providers. Incisions heal gradually, and scars typically fade over time. When paired with a healthy lifestyle, brachioplasty results appear natural and remain well-balanced with the rest of the body.

SkinergyMD has a beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff, affordable pricing, and any treatment your skin needs. I received the Venus Legacy treatment (a collagen-boosting treatment) from Shannon and had a wonderful experience. Not only was it like a warm massage for my face, but this treatment gave IMMEDIATE plumping, increased blood circulation, and made my skin glow! I will definitely be coming back for all my skin needs and medical-grade skin care. I recommend it to everyone!

The staff are so welcoming and comforting. They take time to listen to your needs and they do not pressure you into doing anything you don't want to do. They also take time to explain the process and their decision making to you so that you have all the facts.

Brachioplasty FAQs

• Who is a good candidate for brachioplasty?

  Brachioplasty may be appropriate for individuals with excess or loose skin in the upper arms due to aging, weight loss, or genetics. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, maintain a stable weight, and have realistic expectations.

• Will brachioplasty leave visible scars?

  Brachioplasty typically involves incisions along the inner arm to reduce visibility. Scars generally fade over time with proper care and adherence to post-operative instructions.

• How long does recovery take after brachioplasty?

  Most patients return to light daily activities within one to two weeks. Swelling and bruising gradually improve, and more vigorous activity may resume once approved by our providers.

• Are the results of brachioplasty permanent?

  Results are long-lasting when maintained with a healthy lifestyle and stable weight. While aging continues naturally, the excess skin removed during surgery does not return.

• Can brachioplasty be combined with other procedures?

  Brachioplasty is frequently combined with procedures such as liposuction or a tummy tuck for more comprehensive body contouring. Our team will discuss combination options during your consultation if appropriate.
