What Is Arm Lift Surgery?
Excess arm skin is one of the most common side effects of aging and weight loss. At HGH Plastic Surgery, we offer upper arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, for individuals who have had little success toning and tightening their arms with natural methods. Arm lift surgery effectively excises excess, hanging skin that develops between the elbow and shoulder. The plastic surgeons at our Birmingham, AL office have extensive experience in fat removal and skin tightening techniques. To hear more about how brachioplasty can improve the physique of the upper arms, please call to schedule a consultation at HGH Plastic Surgery.
How Is an Arm Lift Performed?
Arm lift surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure unless it is being performed in combination with other cosmetic treatments, such as a mommy makeover, tummy tuck, or thigh lift. Arm lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and may require several hours to complete. The incision used to perform arm lift body contouring will depend on the amount and location of skin being excised. Generally, the incision is either made on the inside of the arm or the back of the arm and may extend from the armpit to just above the elbow.
Following the incision, the loose skin will be surgically removed. For those who still have pockets of stubborn fat they'd like removed from their arms, liposuction may also be performed. After the skin is tightened, it will be sutured back into place. The incisions should be kept clean, covered, and wrapped with compression garments to ensure a smoother recovery.
What Are the Benefits of an Arm Lift?
Brachioplasty can be an excellent option for those struggling to achieve the toned look they want. Some of the benefits of arm lift surgery at Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery include:
- Reduces sagging skin
- Enhances body image and confidence when considering wardrobe options
- Serves as an effective solution for problem areas that are sometimes resistant to physical activity or diet changes
- Reduces friction, chafing, and pain between the torso and arm areas
Arm Lift Reviews
Dr Halka was amazing for my tummy tuck. he did an awesome job and was so kind and professional. The results far exceeded my exceptions. I was so pleased that I decided to have an arm lift. The arm lift turned out to be outstanding. Thank you Dr. Halka for making me more confident with my older body.
After losing almost a hundred pounds, I was left with extremely loose, sagging skin, and after consulting with three plastic surgeons, I decided to go with Dr. Halka. He is exceptionally kind and patient with all my questions and concerns, and I am so happy I chose him as my surgeon. He did my brachioplasty (arm lift) and breast lift 7 weeks ago, and I am thrilled with my results. My scars look fantastic, and I honestly can’t believe how wonderfully everything is healing. I’ve had zero problems or complications. Dr. Halka will be performing my next two surgeries, a lower body lift and a thigh lift, in the coming months, and I have no worries about my care and comfort in his hands. The nurses and staff at Hedden and Gunn have also all been extremely helpful and friendly. As nervous as I was to start this journey of skin removal and reconstruction, Dr. Halka and the entire H&G team have made it as easy and painless as it could be, and I am so grateful.
Wonderful doctor - cannot adequately express how grateful I am - I cannot adequately express how grateful I am to Dr. Halka. Not only is he a skilled surgeon, he’s also kind and easy to talk to. After having two kids and losing over 80 pounds, I was left with loose, sagging skin. Dr. Halka performed an arm lift and breast lift and a couple of months later, a lower body lift and fat transfer to the breasts. I have experienced zero complications and have healed so well thanks to his care. I am thrilled with my results and plan to have him do my thigh lift in the next few months.
Dr. Halka and his staff at Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery in Birmingham, AL are AWESOME. After loosing 86 pounds, I had the lower body lift, arm lift, breast lift and augmentation procedures. Dr. Halka is a surgical sculptor who turned my body from a large ugly rectangle with lots of hanging skin; into a body with a beautiful shape and a waist. I am extremely happy with my body. I recommend Dr. Halka to anyone considering surgery. Again he is AWESOME!!!!!!!

Edit 8 months later- My lower body lift and thigh lift were both performed as scheduled, and just like with my first surgery, I’m extremely happy with my results. Again, thanks to Dr. Halka and everyone at HGH, I healed perfectly and had great recoveries!
