Sagging skin can develop due to the natural aging process, genetics, or weight loss. An arm lift (brachioplasty) is designed to tone sagging underarms by removing extra skin between the armpit and the elbow, tightening the underlying tissues, and trimming away excess fat. 

What is an arm lift? 

The older you get, the harder it is to target your upper arms with diet and exercise. This is largely due to the way skin in the area changes over time, becoming loose and less elastic. Although lifting weights and working out may strengthen your arm muscles, it can’t fix excess skin. The only way to address it is with a well-done arm lift. And for the right patients, this surgery can be a fantastic way to reveal defined arms that look youthful and feel beautiful.  

  • Reduce sagging skin
  • Tighten and smooth tissues under the arm
  • Prevent rashes and discomfort associated with excess folds of skin
  • Enhance your self-esteem and body confidence

Arm Lift FAQ 

Will my arm lift scars be noticeable?

Because the incisions required for an arm lift usually extend from the armpit to the elbow, many of our patients are concerned about the visibility of the resulting scars. The reality is that an arm lift does result in some scarring, and that’s why it’s so important to work with an experienced plastic surgeon.

At Austin Face & Body, we have a proven track record of safely performing arm lifts and minimizing the appearance of scars. We are strategic in the placement of our incisions, and we utilize a host of advanced closure techniques to ensure that the scars are as discreet as possible.

Your consultation: Planning your transformation

A great deal of thought and effort is involved in planning your arm lift at Austin Face & Body. Because we believe in a holistic approach to plastic surgery, we don’t just focus on your arms – we get to know the whole you.

To begin, we will review your medical history, perform a physical examination, and talk to you about your expectations – including how you want your arms to look and feel after surgery. From there, we will provide you with a detailed overview of your procedure, recovery, and expected results.

Non Surgical Alternative to an Arm Lift


What is BodyTite? 

BodyTite is a minimally invasive body contouring procedure that uses radiofrequency assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to heat the deep layer of the skin to remove fat and tighten the skin at the same time. Patients love it because it achieves dramatic results without any scars, and minimal downtime. Results can be seen almost immediately, but will also continue to improve a year out due to the collagen-building process.
