Understanding the Arm Lift Procedure

Undefined arms can detract from your overall appearance, causing you to look soft, round and out of shape – regardless of your true fitness level. Dr. Schwartz and Dr. Stark are experts in performing arm lifts that remove excess volume, sculpting slim, contoured, and youthful arms you'll be proud to show off.

Is an Arm Lift Right for You?

• Sagging arm skin

• Flabby arms, or "bat wings"
• Undefined arms due to substantial weight loss, pregnancy, or natural aging process

Arm Lift Surgical Overview

• General anesthesia administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist
• Either a mini arm lift or traditional upper arm lift based on individual requirements
• Precise removal of excess fat and skin
• Expert incision closure to minimize scarring

After an arm lift procedure, patients can expect:

• Manageable pain and swelling with prescribed medication
