What is a Brazilian Arm Lift?
An Arm Lift, known medically as Brachioplasty, is a surgical body contouring procedure that addresses loose, sagging skin on the upper arm that extends from the armpit to the elbow. The primary goal is to reshape the underlying supportive tissue and remove excess skin and fat, creating a dramatically smoother and more toned appearance. By tightening and re-draping the skin, an arm lift results in a more proportionate and defined arm silhouette that diet and exercise alone cannot achieve.
Before & After
Who is it for?
This procedure is designed for healthy individuals who have reached a stable weight but remain bothered by significant skin laxity on their upper arms. The ideal candidate often has loose skin as a result of major weight loss, the natural aging process, or genetics. It is important that patients understand that an arm lift involves a trade-off: a more pleasing arm contour in exchange for a permanent scar. Therefore, candidates should have realistic expectations about the outcome and the resulting incision line.
Benefits of the Procedure
The benefits of an arm lift are both aesthetic and psychological, leading to a renewed sense of confidence. The most significant gain is the creation of firmer, slimmer, and more youthful-looking arms that are in better proportion to the rest of the body. This physical change brings profound emotional rewards, as patients report feeling more comfortable and confident in short-sleeved and sleeveless clothing. The procedure can be the final, satisfying step in a weight loss journey, helping a patient’s outer appearance match their inner sense of accomplishment.
How is it Done?
Consultation: Your surgeon will assess your skin and fat distribution to determine the appropriate incision length and placement for your specific needs. Anesthesia: For your comfort and safety, an arm lift is performed under general anesthesia. Surgical Technique: An incision is typically made on the inside or back of the arm, sometimes extending from the underarm to just above the elbow. Through this incision, the surgeon removes excess skin and fat deposits, sometimes using liposuction for further contouring. The underlying supportive tissue is tightened and reshaped with internal sutures, and the remaining skin is draped smoothly over the new contour before the incision is closed. Duration: The surgery generally takes between 2 to 3 hours to complete.
Recovery & Aftercare
Hospital Stay: An arm lift may be performed as an outpatient procedure or may require a one-night hospital stay for monitoring. Week 1-2: You will wear special compression sleeves to minimize swelling and support the healing tissues. Arm movement will be restricted, and you should keep your arms elevated when possible. Most patients can return to a desk job within this timeframe. Weeks 4-6: It is crucial to avoid any heavy lifting or strenuous activities that engage the arms to ensure proper healing and the best possible scar outcome. Aftercare: You will be given detailed instructions for wound care and a long-term scar management plan to help the incision line fade as much as possible.
