An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to reshape and enhance the appearance of the upper arms. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have excess skin and fat between the underarm and the elbow, often resulting from significant weight loss, aging, or genetic factors. An arm lift restores a more toned and proportionate appearance to the arms, enhancing both the look and the confidence. At London Private Hospital, we provide a comprehensive approach to ensure optimal results and patient satisfaction.
Choose brachioplasty and transform your upper arms. Brachioplasty will reduce that slack skin and fat, fix the surrounding tissue, and redefine the upper arm’s extent. Not only will this surgery improve how your biceps and triceps look, but it will also make you more comfortable exhibiting them in public.
Arm lift surgery is completed under general anesthesia and calls for typically approximately 2 to 3 hours to complete the procedure. The surgeon will place incisions around the inner arm, running from the elbow to the underarm. Then, eliminate the excess sagging skin and fatty tissue from the arms, formerly repositioning and tightening the tissues to get smoother, more toned arms. The pattern and length of the incisions might differ upon how much or where the skin and kept fat require to be removed. Many patients return home the same day, and our surgeons perform advanced surgical procedures to help guarantee that scarring is minimal and the results are natural-looking.
Although brachioplasty is considered a low-risk procedure, it is important to familiarize yourself with potential side effects and complications. Generally, patients who have undergone an armlift experience swelling, bruising, or moderate to severe discomfort in their upper arms for a few weeks, after which they subside. Although our surgeons do everything possible to ensure that the incisions are barely noticeable and heal properly, the emergence of scarring is almost unavoidable. Moreover, London Private Hospital kneels down our patients with postoperative care guidelines to assist in recovery and minimize potential adverse impacts.
Opting for London Private Hospital for your arm lift surgery allows you to be treated by a team of professional and highly experienced surgeons. We strive to ensure outstanding surgery outcomes through our attentiveness and greater surgery practices. We acknowledge that every patient has distinct reservations and aspirations and adjust our processes accordingly. With our advanced installations and unwavering dedication to patient welfare, your safety is guaranteed in all aspects. We are available from the first consultation to the last follow-up to assist you in achieving the best feasible outcome possible.
Based on the above-mentioned information, you can decide whether arm lift surgery is the right solution. Here are the factors to consider:
Recovery and aftercare are crucial aspects of achieving the best possible results from an arm lift. Following the surgery, it’s important to follow all post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon to minimize the risk of complications. Wear compression garments as recommended to reduce swelling and support your arms as they heal.
You will be advised to keep your arms elevated when possible to decrease swelling and to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for several weeks to ensure that the incisions heal properly. Attend follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your progress and address any concerns you may have.
Recovery typically takes one to two weeks. It would help if you rested appropriately and avoid vigorous physical activity. Most swelling and bruising should subside during the initial two weeks, but it may take several months to a full recovery and the final results.
All incisions are made along the inner arm so they can be hidden well. As a rule, scars progressively diminish and become almost unnoticeable within a few months to years. In addition to the upper arms, an arm lift may be performed in conjunction with other body contouring procedures.
Ideal candidates for the surgery are in good form, realistic expectations of surgery, and disproportionate loose skin or fat deposits along the upper arm that cannot be addressed by exercise or diet.
The cost of arm lift surgery can vary significantly based on individual patient needs and the specific details of the procedure. Factors influencing the cost include anaesthesia, the surgical process itself, post-operative care, and necessary follow-up visits.

One popular option is our zero percent interest-free credit plan, which allows you to spread the cost of your arm lift surgery over ten months completely interest-free.
