Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Loose skin on the upper arms can be challenging to address through traditional methods like diet and exercise. An arm lift (brachioplasty) offers a surgical solution for individuals struggling with excess skin from the elbow to the shoulder. Dr. Saba Motakef specializes in removing "bat wings" and creating more toned, contoured arms.

Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

  • Removing excess, sagging skin
  • Reducing unwanted fat deposits
  • Tightening and toning arm contours
  • Improving overall mobility and comfort
  • Enhancing self-confidence

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift

Candidates for arm lift surgery typically have:

  • Significant loose skin on upper arms
  • Loss of skin elasticity
  • Stable, healthy body weight
  • Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Procedure Details

Arm lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes two or more hours. The procedure involves carefully excising excess skin from the elbow to the underarm, potentially extending to the chest if needed. Liposuction may be incorporated to address stubborn fat deposits.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect approximately one to two weeks of recovery time. Compression garments must be worn, and strenuous activities should be avoided for about four weeks. Initial results are visible immediately, with final results emerging as swelling resolves over several months.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While arm lift surgery is generally safe, potential risks include surgical complications, scarring, and anesthesia-related concerns. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Motakef will help patients understand individual risk factors and expected outcomes.

Combining Procedures

Arm lift surgery can be combined with other body contouring procedures such as liposuction, tummy tuck, or breast lift. Dr. Motakef can develop a customized surgical plan during the initial consultation.

The greatest experience of my life! I went from a misshaped mom to trophy wife in 1 surgery! Dr. Motakef is absolutely artistically brilliant! He has an eye for symmetry, the bedside manner for philanthropy, and sets a high bar for the finest details in his surgical approach. My lipo scars are undetectable, my tummy tuck scar is thinner than a G string & I am so shocked to see a bikini model standing in my mirror! I am no longer embarrassed to admit I had plastic surgery, I am proud! This is the highest confidence I’ve ever had in my life. Thank you so much to Dr. Motakef & his amazing team for elevating natural beauty! And speaking of his A-team, his staff is top notch, I’ve felt so much support through this entire journey from my first consult to my lymphatic massages & everything in between. Office hours, after hours, weekends, if you have a question post surgery you can call the office, text the nursing staff or email Dr. Motakef & get your questions answered within the hour. They are so responsive, caring & truly top tier. If you are searching for your highest, hottest, most confident self, welcome, this is the place.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Motakef and his team for my implant replacement and lift, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the moment I walked into his office, I felt completely at ease. Dr. Motakef is not only highly skilled but also incredibly compassionate, taking the time to explain every step of the procedure and making sure I felt comfortable and informed. The staff, both in the office and at the surgery center, were absolutely amazing. They were friendly, professional, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. They made me feel like I was in the best hands, and their attention to detail and care was outstanding. The results of my surgery are beyond my expectations, and I am thrilled with how everything turned out. Dr. Motakef and his team truly exceeded all of my expectations, and I can't thank them enough for their expertise and kindness. I highly recommend Dr. Motakef to anyone seeking top-notch care and results.

I cannot recommend Dr. Motakef and his team enough! After consulting with several surgeons, I felt most were eager to jump straight into a tummy tuck without really listening to my concerns or exploring alternatives. What set Dr. Motakef apart was his thoughtful approach. He truly listened, assessed my goals, and suggested an alternative procedure I hadn’t heard of (vaser lipo, skin retraction and fat transfer to my hip dips) to help enhance my figure in a way that felt more feminine. He was also very honest about what I could realistically expect, which helped me go into the process with clarity and confidence. Dr. Motakef’s care didn’t stop after surgery. He personally called to check on me, ensuring I was doing well and letting me know he was readily available for any questions or concerns. That level of attentiveness is rare and so appreciated. A special shoutout to Karina, who was absolutely incredible throughout the process. She answered every question I had with kindness and patience, followed through on all her promises, and even went above and beyond by sending me links and suggestions for items to aid in my recovery. My recovery went much smoother than I anticipated, and now, three months post-surgery, the results are exactly what Dr. Motakef said they would be. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I live an active lifestyle—working out, eating well, and staying fit—but like many of us, I had a few insecurities. Dr. Motakef’s expertise and honesty helped me address them in a way that feels natural and empowering. If you’re considering any procedure, I wholeheartedly encourage you to book a consultation with Dr. Motakef. He’ll guide you with care, honesty, and an exceptional level of professionalism.

I’m 3 months postop from having a mommy makeover including lipo 360, tummy tuck, and fat transfer to buttocks. It took me a really long time to find a surgeon but it was Dr. Motakef’s tummy tucks and realistic belly buttons that sold me! I am in awe of my results, he gave me exactly what I asked for. I wanted my mommy pouch gone, hip dips filled, and just a tad bit more projection at the top of my butt. He couldn’t have executed my results any better!!! When I run my hands up and down my tummy tuck scar, I can barely even feel it. It’s so flat, linear and already fading in color. I’m excited to see how it’ll look months later as I continue with scar therapy. Also, his bedside manner is impeccable. He really listens, takes the time to answer all questions, and keeps it real as far as expectations. I know you’re probably waiting to hear the good and bad but there really isn’t anything bad to say. I have not had one complaint with the entire process from beginning to now. I had such an awesome experience even with his supporting staff. I’m so excited about my results I’m already thinking of what to get next. Getting work done is so much easier when you’ve found someone who you can trust! If you’ve been wanting to get plastic surgery but spending too much time trying to find the right doctor, I am telling you, Dr. Motakef is the person!!! He’s the ONE!!!! You will NOT be disappointed.
