Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

After significant weight loss, patients often struggle with residual excess skin in the upper arm area. This common concern can impact clothing choices and personal confidence. An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, addresses these challenges by removing excess skin and improving arm contour.

What is Brachioplasty?

Brachioplasty is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fatty tissue from the upper arm. The surgery typically involves removing skin from the elbow to the armpit, creating a smoother, more toned arm appearance. Liposuction is often performed simultaneously to enhance the overall contour.

Arm Lift Surgical Techniques

Dr. Coscia offers multiple arm lift techniques tailored to individual patient needs:

Traditional Arm Lift: Full incision from elbow to armpit
Extended Arm Lift: Incision extending to chest wall
Minimal Incision Arm Lift: Limited underarm incision

Causes of Loose Upper Arm Skin

Several factors contribute to upper arm skin laxity, including:

Natural aging process
Significant weight loss
Reduced collagen and elastin production
Genetic predisposition
Lifestyle factors like sun exposure and smoking

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial healing within a few weeks, with complete results developing over several months. Compression garments are recommended to support healing and minimize swelling. Most patients notice improved arm contour and increased confidence following the procedure.

Cost Considerations

Arm lift surgery costs range from $3,200 to $12,000, depending on individual surgical requirements. Dr. Coscia offers financing options to make the procedure more accessible.
