An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove loose, sagging skin from the upper arms, creating a slimmer, firmer, and more defined appearance. Whether due to weight loss, aging, or skin laxity, this procedure helps restore shape and confidence by tightening and reshaping the arms.
Many patients choose an arm lift because:
✔️ They have loose or hanging skin that won’t tighten with exercise.
✔️ They want more defined, sculpted arms after weight loss.
✔️ They want to feel more comfortable wearing sleeveless clothing.
✔️ They want a proportionate, youthful appearance in their upper body.
For enhanced results, an arm lift can also be combined with liposuction to remove stubborn fat and further refine the contours of the arms.
Dr. Freedland’s precision-focused approach ensures safety, comfort, and long-lasting results:
✔️ A fluid infusion reduces blood loss and minimizes discomfort.
✔️ Excess skin is carefully removed while preserving a natural shape.
✔️ Incisions are placed strategically along the inner arm to minimize visible scarring.
✔️ Liposuction may be used for additional contouring and refinement.
Each arm lift is customized to the patient’s specific needs, whether targeting mild skin laxity or addressing significant excess skin for a dramatic improvement.
If you have loose, sagging skin on your upper arms due to weight loss or aging, you may be an ideal candidate. A consultation will help determine the best approach for your goals.
An arm lift removes excess skin, but if you have additional fat deposits, liposuction can be added for enhanced contouring.
Most patients can resume light activities in 1–2 weeks, with full recovery taking about 3-4 weeks. Dr. Freedland provides detailed aftercare to ensure a smooth healing process.
Yes, but Dr. Freedland takes great care in placing incisions discreetly along the inner arm, where they are less visible. Scars will fade over time with proper care.
Yes! Many patients choose to combine an arm lift with a tummy tuck, thigh lift, or liposuction to achieve a more complete body transformation.
You will notice an immediate improvement in your arm contour after surgery, but swelling and healing take time. Most patients see significant results within 2-3 weeks, with final results becoming fully visible around 3–6 months as swelling subsides and the tissues settle. Scars will continue to fade over the next year.
The cost of a arm lift varies based on factors such as whether liposuction is included, and individual patient needs. During your consultation, we will provide a personalized cost estimate and discuss financing options to help make your procedure as accessible as possible.

Losing weight was an amazing achievement, but the excess skin on my arms kept me from fully enjoying my progress. Dr. Freedland helped me complete my transformation, and I couldn’t be happier with the results!
I used to feel self-conscious wearing sleeveless tops, but after my arm lift, I finally have the toned arms I’ve always wanted. The results look natural, and I feel incredible!
“I was hesitant about surgery, but Dr. Freedland walked me through every step. My arms look amazing, and my scar is barely noticeable. I feel more confident than ever!”
