Your goals. A considered approach.
An arm lift removes loose upper-arm skin and may include fat reduction. It can be considered when skin changes after weight loss or aging affect the contour of the arms.
Balance contour with the incision.
A thoughtful plan starts with your individual assessment. These are the details to explore together.
Skin assessment
Identify where excess skin begins and how far it extends.
Fat reduction
Discuss whether liposuction has a role in your plan.
Scar placement
Review the expected incision and how it may appear with different clothing.
A conversation comes first.
Bring your questions about arm lift. Share your health history, medications, prior treatments, and what you hope to change. Your consultation is also a chance to discuss alternatives and whether treatment is right for you.
Share your priorities
Tell us what matters to you, including what you want to preserve. Reference photographs can help explain your preferences.
Explore your options
Review the recommended approach, realistic outcomes, limitations, and risks. Take the time you need to ask questions.
Plan the practical details
Discuss your quote, preparation, follow-up, and support at home. Leave with a clear understanding of the next steps.
Make room for your recovery.
Allow for wound care and restrictions on lifting and reaching. Ask about garments, drains if needed, and returning to work. Scars continue to mature after the initial recovery.
An informed choice is a personal one.
Risks include visible scars, delayed healing, asymmetry, sensation changes, and fluid collections. Discuss the contour improvement alongside the tradeoff of a permanent scar. Your consultation includes a fuller discussion of risks, alternatives, and your individual suitability.

Can liposuction replace an arm lift?
Liposuction reduces fat but does not remove excess skin. The amount of skin laxity helps determine the approach.
How long will the scar be?
The extent of loose skin determines the incision. Ask to review its anticipated location at your consultation.
How much does arm lift cost?
Your individual plan determines your quote. Ask what is included, which fees may be separate, and whether follow-up or future treatments have additional costs.
