Arm Lift in the UK
Reveal well-defined arms you’ll love
What is an arm lift procedure?
An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the underside of the upper arms. Factors such as aging or significant weight loss can cause the skin in this area to sag or lose elasticity. By tightening the skin and reshaping the underlying tissue, an arm lift restores a more toned, youthful appearance to the arms.
NovaForma Plastic Surgery offers arm lift in the UK, delivering natural-looking, refined results. Our experienced surgeons use discreet incisions to minimise visible scarring, placing them where they are least noticeable. They also target both the surface skin and deeper tissue layers to improve the overall contour of your arms.
Types of arm lift procedures
Our range of arm lift procedures are tailored to meet various needs:
Limited incision (mini arm lift)
Ideal for patients with mild skin laxity, this procedure involves a short incision often discreetly hidden in the armpit. It focuses on removing small amounts of excess skin for a subtle, refined result.
Standard arm lift
This is the most common option, involving an incision that runs from the armpit to the elbow. It allows for the removal of a greater amount of skin and fat, providing a significant reshaping of the upper arm.
Extended arm lift
Designed for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, this procedure extends the incision down the side of the body. It addresses excess skin not only on the upper arm but also on the torso, achieving more comprehensive contouring.
In many cases
Liposuction can be combined with any of these procedures to further enhance arm definition and overall results.
What to expect from arm lift in the UK
Before surgery
You’ll consult with Dr. Naghmeh Naderi to discuss your health, goals, and the surgical options available to you. For the best results and a smooth recovery, you may need to make certain lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking or avoiding specific medications.
The procedure
Arm lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia. During the operation, the surgeon makes precise incisions to remove excess skin and fat. The remaining skin is then tightened to create a smoother, more contoured appearance. The incisions are closed with absorbable stitches, and dressings are applied to reduce swelling and support the healing process.
Recovery
Most patients are able to return home the same day, though some need assistance for the first few days post-surgery. It is important to avoid raising your arms above shoulder height for about a month to allow for proper healing. Don’t miss follow-up appointments, as these are critical for your surgeon to monitor your recovery and remove dressings as needed.
Many patients return to work within two weeks and can resume physical activities, including exercise, after six to eight weeks.
