Arm Lift
The Freedom to Wear What You Love
Address loose, hanging skin and improve arm contours following weight loss, aging, or changes in skin elasticity with a personalized arm lift procedure.
Do you avoid sleeveless tops because of your arms? Have you noticed loose skin on your upper arms that moves when you wave or makes you feel self-conscious in certain clothing?
For many people, changes in the upper arms happen gradually. Significant weight loss, aging, genetics, and natural changes in skin elasticity can all contribute to excess skin and tissue in this area. While exercise can strengthen the muscles underneath, it cannot tighten loose skin once it has stretched.
When the upper arms no longer feel in harmony with the rest of your body, it can affect your clothing choices, your confidence, and how comfortable you feel in everyday situations.
If you experience any of the following concerns, arm lift may be an effective solution for you:
- You have loose or hanging skin on the upper arms
- You have experienced significant weight loss
- Exercise has improved muscle tone but not excess skin
- You avoid certain clothing because of your arms
- You would like a smoother, more defined arm contour
- You are in good overall health and have realistic expectations
Understanding Arm Lift
An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is designed to remove excess skin and tissue from the upper arms to create a firmer, more refined contour.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and is tailored to your individual anatomy and goals. Depending on the amount of excess skin present, incisions may be placed along the inside of the arm where they can be as discreet as possible. In some cases, liposuction may be combined with an arm lift to further improve contour and create a smoother transition between the arms and surrounding areas.
Every surgical plan is customized because the amount of skin laxity, tissue excess, and desired outcome varies from patient to patient.
Dr. Solaja’s Approach to Arm Lift Surgery
Dr. Solaja believes patients considering an arm lift deserve a clear and balanced discussion of the potential improvement, scars, and recovery. He offers his honest opinion so that you can decide whether the expected benefit feels worthwhile.
When surgery is appropriate, he plans it carefully with close attention to safety and proportion. His goal is a natural improvement, not an unrealistic standard of perfection.
Recovery After an Arm Lift
Recovery after an arm lift is gradual, and every patient heals at their own pace. Most patients return to light daily activities within a few days, while more strenuous activities and exercise are reintroduced gradually over the following weeks. Swelling, bruising, and temporary tightness are expected during the early stages of healing.
As the tissues heal and swelling improves, the arms begin to reveal a smoother and more refined contour. Follow-up appointments allow Dr. Solaja to monitor your progress. Throughout the process, his team remains available to answer questions and provide support when needed.
Back to Daily Life and Dressing With Confidence
Many patients describe the benefits of an arm lift in simple ways. They spend less time thinking about how their arms look in photographs or social situations. They no longer choose outfits based solely on covering a specific area of concern. While the physical changes can be significant, the most meaningful benefit is often the freedom that comes with feeling comfortable in your own skin.
The goal is not to change who you are. It is to help your appearance better reflect the way you already feel and allow you to move through life with greater comfort and ease.
