At the Aesthetic Center at Woodholme in Baltimore, MD, our patients often tell us that even after weight loss or regular exercise, they still struggle with sagging skin on their upper arms. This concern is especially common as skin loses elasticity with age. That’s where arm lift surgery (also known as brachioplasty) can make a remarkable difference, sculpting a smoother, firmer contour that restores confidence in your appearance.
What Is An Arm Lift?
An Arm lift is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms, creating a more balanced look that aligns with your overall figure. Whether the cause is natural aging, genetics, or significant weight changes, brachioplasty can dramatically improve arm definition and comfort.
During a personal consultation with Dr. Amy Quan, we will develop a treatment plan tailored to your unique goals. This customized approach ensures your results look natural and harmonize beautifully with your body.
What to Expect During the Procedure
An arm lift typically takes two to three hours, depending on your specific needs. The incision is placed discreetly along the inside or back of the arm to minimize visible scarring. Dr. Quan will then remove excess tissue and carefully sculpt the underlying structure before tightening the remaining skin for a smooth, contoured finish.
Many patients combine their arm lift with other body contouring procedures for a more comprehensive transformation, an area in which Dr. Quan and the entire ACW team have extensive experience.
Recovery and Healing Process
Recovery from an arm lift is generally straightforward, especially when patients follow post-operative instructions closely. Most individuals return to normal daily activities within 10 to 14 days, with more strenuous exercise resumed after four to six weeks.
You may notice mild swelling or tightness at first, but these effects gradually subside as your new contours take shape. Patients often comment that the short downtime is well worth the beautiful, lasting results.
