What is an Arm Lift?
An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms, creating a more toned and contoured shape. Many people opt for an arm lift due to:
- Loose, sagging skin after weight loss or ageing.
- Excess fat that won’t shift, even with exercise.
- Discomfort from chafing or irritation caused by excess skin.
The goal is to achieve smoother, firmer arms that enhance confidence and make it easier to wear fitted clothing.
How the Surgery Works
Arm lift surgery is performed under general anaesthetic, meaning you’ll be asleep throughout. The procedure typically involves:
- Making an incision along the inside or back of the upper arm.
- Removing excess skin and fat to reshape the arm’s contour.
- Tightening the remaining skin for a smoother, firmer appearance.
- Carefully close the incision to minimise scarring.
Depending on your needs, liposuction may also be used for additional fat removal.

Is an Arm Lift Right for You?
You might be considering an arm lift if:
- You have loose, sagging skin on your upper arms.
- You feel self-conscious about your arms in sleeveless tops.
- Your arms haven’t toned up despite diet and exercise.
- You experience chafing or discomfort from excess skin.
If you’re unsure, a free consultation with our specialists will help you decide.
- More toned and defined arms – feel confident wearing short sleeves.
- No more sagging skin – removes ‘bingo wings’ for a firmer look.
- Long-lasting results – enjoy permanent improvement.
- Improves comfort – reduces chafing and irritation.
- Boosts confidence – wear fitted clothing with ease.
As with any surgery, there are some risks, including:
- Temporary swelling and bruising.
- Scarring, though these fade over time.
- Numbness or tightness in the arms, which improves as you heal.
Your surgeon will discuss all risks with you so you can make an informed choice.
