What you need to know about Brachioplasty (Arm Lift)
Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and contour the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or aging, leading to sagging skin in the upper arm area.
During the surgery, the surgeon typically makes an incision along the inner arm, allowing for the removal of excess skin and, in some cases, the use of liposuction to enhance overall arm shape. Recovery usually involves wearing a compression garment to support the healing process, and most patients can resume normal activities within a week, though heavy lifting and strenuous exercise should be avoided for about six weeks.
It’s important to discuss your goals and concerns with your surgeon to determine if brachioplasty is the right option for you, ensuring you achieve the desired results while understanding the associated risks and recovery process.

OUR APPROACH TO YOUR BRACHIOPLASTY
Your brachioplasty can be performed as a Day Case at the adjacent Windsor Private Hospital. Our patients typically return home that afternoon. You will be seen the following morning by our dedicated and experienced surgical nurse and then regularly during your recovery.
Recovery typically involves wearing a compression garment over the arms for 6 weeks. We recommend no heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for approximately 6 weeks following surgery. Most of our patients return to relatively normal activity and sedentary work after 1 week.
All surgery carries risks which are important to understand so that you make a well-informed decision. Complications associated with a brachioplasty include bleeding, infection, poor scarring, wound breakdown, skin irregularities, asymmetry, nerve damage, deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in the legs) and anesthetic complications.
This listing is not all-inclusive and patients may be at risk for additional complications depending on their past medical and surgical history. A thorough discussion will occur during consultation with your surgeon including ways to mitigate risks prior to surgery and steps taken to treat complications should they occur.
