Arm Lift Surgery

Arm Lift Surgery – Let Your Confidence Show Through Sleeveless Style

Sagging arms can be more than just a cosmetic concern—they often chip away at self-confidence. Despite diet and exercise, the upper arms may not bounce back after significant weight loss, aging, or even pregnancy. In India, especially among women over 35, body contouring surgeries are becoming a go-to solution for restoring shape and self-esteem.

Arm lift surgery, or brachioplasty, helps eliminate excess skin and fat from the upper arms, leaving you with smoother, tighter contours that reflect how strong and youthful you truly feel.

At Jewel Aesthetic Centre, Dr. Devayani Barve, a renowned plastic surgeon in Mumbai, is helping women and men redefine their silhouettes and step into their own with confidence and grace.

Who Should Consider an Arm Lift?

This procedure is perfect for those with:

– Loose, sagging skin under the arms
– Weight-loss-related excess skin
– Poor skin elasticity due to age or genetics
– A desire for long-lasting body contour improvements

What Is an Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)?

A surgical procedure to remove loose skin and fat from the upper arm. It helps contour the arm and improve its proportion to the rest of your body.

Common Causes of Sagging Arms

Aging and reduced collagen
Post-pregnancy changes
Major weight loss
Genetic predisposition to loose skin

Types of Brachioplasty Available

Mini Arm Lift – Best for mild sagging with minimal scarring
Standard Arm Lift – For moderate to significant sagging
Extended Arm Lift – Includes correction near the chest
Liposuction with Lift – For fat removal + skin tightening

The Procedure: What to Expect

Time: 1.5 to 3 hours
Anesthesia: General or twilight sedation
Incisions: Hidden along the inner arm
Recovery: Usually same-day discharge or one-night stay

Recovery Timeline After Arm Lift Surgery

Swelling: 1–2 weeks
Stitches: Removed in 7–10 days
Return to work: 7–10 days (desk jobs)
Exercise: Resume after 4–6 weeks
Final results: 8–12 weeks

Are Scars a Concern?

Yes, there will be a scar, but it’s discreetly placed on the inner arm and fades significantly over time. Scar care and laser options can enhance healing.

Can I Combine It with Other Procedures?

Yes, arm lifts are often paired with:

– Tummy tuck
– Breast lift
– Liposuction
– Mommy makeover

Is Liposuction Alone Enough?

If your skin is firm and the issue is just excess fat, liposuction may be enough. For loose or sagging skin, a lift is the only effective option. For fat excess with minimal loose skin, liposuction can also be combined with BODYTITE ™ a radiofrequency skin tightening treatment done at the same time as Liposuction.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift

Adults in good health
Non-smokers
Stable body weight
Realistic goals for arm contour

What Makes Dr. Devayani’s Technique Different?

She uses tension-free closure and internal suturing to improve scar outcomes and combines liposculpting with Ultrasouns assited liposuction for refined contours.

Brachioplasty for Men – Yes, It’s a Thing

More male patients are opting for arm lift surgery in Mumbai to get a defined arm contour, especially after weight loss

How Long Do the Results Last?

With a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, results can last 10+ years. The skin may age naturally, but it won’t return to the pre-surgery state.

FAQs About Arm Lift Surgery

Will I need general anesthesia?

Yes, in most cases. But smaller lifts can be done under twilight sedation.

Can I drive after surgery?

Not immediately. Wait until you’re off pain meds and cleared by your surgeon.

When can I exercise again?

Light activities after 2 weeks. Full workouts after 4–6 weeks.

What should I wear post-surgery?

Loose-fitting clothes and compression garments are recommended.

Is there significant pain?

Mild to moderate pain can occur, usually manageable with prescribed meds.

Can sagging come back?

Only if there’s major weight gain or loss. Otherwise, results are long-lasting.

Are there any non-surgical options?

They exist, but they only help in mild laxity—not in cases needing skin removal.

How soon will I see results?

Within 3–4 weeks as swelling subsides. Full results by 8–12 weeks.

Can I combine this with other surgeries?

Yes—many patients do this as part of a post-weight-loss or mommy makeover treatment.

How long should I wear the compression garment?

Usually 3–6 weeks for optimal healing and support.
