Do you find yourself hiding your arms under long sleeves, regardless of the season? If excess skin or stubborn fat on your upper arms has left you feeling self-conscious, you’re not alone. At J. Sweat Plastic Surgery in Sacramento, CA, Dr. Jeffrey Sweat specializes in transformative body contouring procedures, like the arm lift, to help patients look and feel their very best.
What Is an Arm Lift?
An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to sculpt and tone the upper arms by removing extra skin and fat. Factors like aging, genetics, and significant weight loss can cause the skin to sag, creating what many refer to as “bat wings.” An arm lift targets these issues by tightening underlying tissues, removing excess skin, and often incorporating liposuction for optimal definition and contour.
Is an Arm Lift Right for You?
You may be an excellent candidate for an arm lift if you:
- Have loose, hanging skin on your upper arms that doesn’t improve with diet or exercise
- Are at or near a stable, healthy body weight
- Do not smoke and are in good overall health
- Want a long-lasting solution for firmer, more youthful arms
Dr. Jeffrey Sweat will review your goals during a personalized consultation, perform a physical exam, and explain what results you can expect from your arm lift journey.
The Arm Lift Procedure: What to Expect
An arm lift is typically performed under general anesthesia at our state-of-the-art facility. Dr. Sweat makes precise incisions, usually along the inner arm or back of the arm, to minimize visible scarring. Excess skin and unwanted fat are removed, and underlying tissues are shaped for a smoother, natural look. The incisions are then carefully closed, and you’ll be able to return home the same day with clear aftercare instructions.
Initial recovery from brachioplasty usually takes about one to two weeks. Swelling, mild bruising, and temporary tightness are normal, but most patients are back to regular activities within a short time. Dr. Sweat and the J. Sweat Plastic Surgery team are dedicated to your safety and comfort at every stage.
