brachioplasty (arm lift)
redefining your contours for sleeker, firmer arms
brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the under portion of the upper arm, from the armpit to the elbow. this procedure addresses excess skin and fat deposits that can result from significant weight loss, aging, or heredity, creating a drooping or “bat wing” appearance. by removing redundant skin and tightening the underlying supportive tissue, brachioplasty at dose aesthetics in bowling green, ohio, results in arms that are smoother, firmer, and more toned, enhancing both confidence and clothing choices.
how brachioplasty works
Customized
the process begins with a comprehensive consultation with a board-certified surgeon at dose aesthetics. they will evaluate the elasticity of your skin, the amount of excess fat and skin, and discuss your desired aesthetic outcome. this determines the best surgical approach, which may include liposuction along with skin excision.
brachioplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
the incision pattern is determined by the amount and location of excess skin.
- minimal incision/limited brachioplasty: for patients with minimal skin excess, an incision may be restricted to the underarm area.
- standard incision: the most common approach involves an incision running from the armpit down to just above the elbow on the inside or back of the arm.
- extended brachioplasty: for patients with excessive loose skin extending onto the chest wall, the incision may be extended.
if necessary, liposuction is performed first to remove excess localized fat. the underlying tissue is then tightened and reshaped with internal sutures.
excess skin is trimmed, and the remaining skin is draped smoothly over the new contour. the incisions are then closed with absorbable sutures, or sutures that will be removed, followed by surgical tape or skin adhesive.
your arms will be wrapped in sterile dressings, and a compression garment will be applied to minimize swelling and support the new contours during the initial healing phase.
is brachioplasty right for you?
brachioplasty is an excellent option for individuals who:
- have significant loose or excess skin on their upper arms that does not improve with diet and exercise.
- are at a relatively stable weight and are not significantly overweight.
- are healthy, without medical conditions that impair healing or increase surgical risk.
- have realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery and the location of the resulting scars.
while generally safe for appropriate candidates, an arm lift may not be suitable for individuals who:
- have uncontrolled chronic illnesses (like diabetes or heart disease).
- are actively smoking (smoking severely hinders the healing process).
- have unrealistic expectations regarding scar visibility.
- have significant fluctuations in weight.

treatment experience
the surgery typically takes about one to three hours, depending on the extent of the correction needed. brachioplasty is usually performed as an outpatient procedure at a certified surgical facility, meaning you can return home the same day. you will need to arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you for at least the first 24 hours.
recovery and results
- initial recovery: you will experience swelling, bruising, and some discomfort, which is managed with prescribed medication. drainage tubes may be temporarily placed to remove excess fluid. you will need to wear the compression garment continuously for several weeks.
- downtime: most patients can return to light, non-strenuous work within one to two weeks. strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and intense exercise involving the arms should be avoided for four to six weeks.
- results: the final, improved contour of your arms will be visible almost immediately, though it will be obscured by swelling. the results will continue to refine as swelling subsides over the following weeks and months. the scars are permanent but strategically placed to be as inconspicuous as possible, often fading and flattening over time.
