At Antell Plastic Surgery, Brachioplasty—commonly known as an arm lift—is designed to reshape and contour the upper arms. Dr. David J. Antell performs this procedure to remove excess skin and fat, giving arms a slimmer, more toned appearance.
What is an Arm Lift?
Brachioplasty addresses loose or sagging skin in the upper arms, often caused by weight fluctuations or aging. It removes excess tissue and tightens the remaining skin for smoother contours.
Who is a Good Candidate?
Candidates are typically bothered by drooping skin or “bat wings” on the arms. Good health, a stable weight, and realistic expectations are essential.
What Does the Procedure Involve?
Dr. Antell creates a discreet incision along the inner arm to remove skin and fat. Liposuction may also be used to refine the shape. He prioritizes minimal scarring and natural results.
Recovery and Results
Most patients can return to light activity in 1–2 weeks, with full results visible after swelling subsides. Scars fade significantly over time.
