Fluctuations in weight, growing older, and even heredity can cause your upper arms to have a drooping and sagging appearance. Exercise may strengthen and improve the underlying muscle tone, but it cannot address excess skin that has lost elasticity or underlying weakened tissues and localized fat deposits. Double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Armen Vartany performs arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, to help patients from Glendale, Burbank, Encino, Tarzana, and throughout Los Angeles feel more comfortable and confident. This body contouring procedure removes excess skin and concentrated fat from the upper arms. An arm lift can reshape and define the under portion of your upper arm by tightening and smoothing to create a toned and sculpted appearance.
An arm lift is performed under general anesthesia.

If the underside of your upper arms is sagging and loose due to excess skin and fat, then an arm lift may be the right procedure for you. An arm lift is a highly individualized procedure and you should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else’s desires or to try to fit any ideal image.

Incisions vary depending on the area(s) to be treated, degree of correction needed, and patient and surgeon preference. You and Dr. Vartany will discuss which incision options are appropriate for your desired outcome. Incision options include:
Inner Arm
This incision is placed along the lower region of the inner arm. It generally extends from the armpit to just above the elbow.
Back of Arm
This incision is placed along the back side of the arm. It generally extends from the bottom portion of the armpit to just above the elbow.
Minimal
This incision is placed within the underarm (axilla) area. The incision is significantly shorter than with the other techniques but only appropriate for minor correction.
