If you’re bothered by sagging skin or excess fat in your upper arms (often referred to as “bat wings”), an arm lift can help restore definition and firmness. At Cosmetic and Reconstructive Specialists of Florida in Fort Lauderdale, board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Christopher Low and Dr. Michael Cheung offer personalized arm lift surgery (brachioplasty) to help you achieve a slimmer, more toned upper body contour.
Whether the changes in your arms are the result of weight loss, aging, or genetics, our team brings a reconstructive mindset and aesthetic precision to every procedure, ensuring results that are both natural-looking and confidence-boosting.
Benefits of an Arm Lift
An arm lift can dramatically improve the appearance of the upper arms by:
- Removing loose, hanging skin
- Reducing stubborn fat deposits
- Enhancing arm tone and proportion
- Improving comfort in fitted clothing
- Helping you feel more confident in short sleeves and sleeveless tops
For many patients, the procedure is also a rewarding way to complete a major weight loss transformation.
Who Is a Candidate for Arm Lift?
You may be a good candidate for brachioplasty if you:
- Have noticeable skin laxity or drooping in the upper arms
- Maintain a stable, healthy weight
- Are in good general health and do not smoke
- Have realistic expectations about results and scarring
During your consultation in our Fort Lauderdale office, we’ll assess your anatomy and goals to determine whether an arm lift alone or a combination with liposuction is right for you.
Arm Lift Procedure Details
Arm lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about two hours. Dr. Low or Dr. Cheung makes an incision along the inner arm, often extending from the armpit to the elbow, removes excess skin and fat, and reshapes the underlying tissue to create a tighter, more contoured arm. The incision is placed in a discreet location to minimize visibility when your arms are at your sides.
In many cases, liposuction is used during the procedure to refine the results further.
Arm Lift Recovery and Results
You can expect some swelling, bruising, and tightness for the first couple of weeks. Most patients return to light activity within 7–10 days and resume full exercise within 4–6 weeks, depending on individual healing. Our team provides detailed post-op instructions and ongoing support to help you recover comfortably.
Final results become more visible as swelling subsides, revealing arms that appear leaner, smoother, and more youthful. Scars typically fade significantly over time and can be managed with proper care.
