Arm Lift
An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms to create a firmer, smoother, and more toned appearance.
Arm lifts are commonly performed after significant weight loss, aging, or loss of skin elasticity.
You may be a candidate for an arm lift if:
- You have loose or sagging upper arm skin
- You have excess arm fat resistant to diet and exercise
- You have experienced significant weight loss
- You desire more toned and proportionate arms
- You maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle

Preparing for your arm lift procedure

Arm lift recovery
Swelling, bruising, and soreness are common during the initial recovery period. Most patients return to light daily activities within one to two weeks.
Arm lift results
As healing progresses, patients notice firmer, more sculpted arms with improved contour and proportion. Results are long lasting when supported by healthy lifestyle habits and stable weight.
The first step toward smoother, more toned arms is scheduling a consultation with Dr. Tran to discuss your treatment options.
