The Arm Lift Procedure
Arm lift surgery is typically performed under general anaesthesia and takes approximately two hours to complete. During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision along the inner or back of the arm, depending on the patient’s specific needs and the surgeon’s preferred technique. The excess skin and fat are then removed, and the remaining skin is tightened and sutured together.
In some cases, liposuction may also be used in conjunction with arm lift surgery to remove additional fat and further contour the upper arms.Wondering if Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) is

Preparing for Arm Lift Surgery
- Schedule a consultation with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon who specialises in arm lift surgery. During the consultation, the surgeon will discuss your goals and concerns, assess your suitability for the procedure, and recommend the most appropriate surgical technique to achieve your desired outcome.
- Undergo a comprehensive medical evaluation to ensure that you are in good health and suitable for surgery. This may include blood tests, a physical examination, and a review of your medical history.
- Inform your surgeon about any medications, supplements, or herbal remedies you are taking, as some of these substances may need to be discontinued before surgery to minimise the risk of complications.
- If you smoke, you will be advised to quit smoking at least six weeks before and after surgery, as smoking can increase the risk of complications and delay the healing process.
- Arrange for a friend or family member to drive you home after the procedure and help with daily activities during the initial recovery period.

- Wearing compression garments to minimise swelling and support the healing process.
