Understanding Upper Arm Lift Surgery

While exercise and weight training can develop arm muscles, they cannot reduce sagging skin created by aging or significant weight loss. An upper arm lift, or brachioplasty, is specifically designed to remove loose skin and create firm, contoured arms with a youthful appearance.

Surgical Procedure Details

Dr. Scott Haydon customizes each upper arm lift procedure based on individual patient needs. The surgical approach depends on the amount and location of excess skin to be removed. Typical characteristics of the procedure include:

  • Incisions made on the inside or back of the arm
  • Potential incision extending from underarm to elbow
  • Precise skin and fat tissue removal
  • Underlying tissue reshaping and tightening

Procedure Duration and Recovery

The upper arm lift typically takes 1-2 hours to complete. Most patients experience a recovery period of 1-2 weeks, during which they can expect gradual healing and improvement in arm contour.

Expected Results and Long-Term Outcomes

Brachioplasty results are generally long-lasting. Some potential skin relaxation may occur with natural aging, but maintaining a healthy lifestyle through regular exercise and proper diet can help optimize and preserve surgical outcomes.

Benefits Beyond Aesthetics

An upper arm lift offers more than physical transformation. Patients often experience increased self-confidence and freedom to wear clothing styles they previously avoided, creating both physical and emotional improvements.

Candidacy and Consultation

Ideal candidates for upper arm lift surgery include individuals with significant skin laxity in the upper arm region who have maintained a stable weight and are in good overall health. A personalized consultation with Dr. Haydon will determine your specific surgical plan.

Highly recommend. Dr Haydon is thorough, listens to what you want and did a great job with my procedure! I’m in the medical field and have high expectations of how physicians should treat their patients and Dr Haydon exceeded my expectations. He has great bedside manner. His nurse, Wanda, is very knowledgeable and super sweet—anytime I had a question after the procedure, I texted her and she got back right away. Wanda has a gentle, caring approach and I really appreciated her professionalism. All the office staff were warm and welcoming. I shopped around for a surgeon, saw 3 other surgeons before I made the decision to go with Dr Haydon at APSI. Could not recommend more!

My personal experience was memorable, different and unique at this clinic. I had an undereye filler session that Dr Haydon did back in 2018 and I have been depressed and suffer daily Insecurities ever since. Sculptra was used in a scheduled session to primarily fill my cheeks - and then some product set aside and planned for use by Dr. Haydon to fill my undereye hollows. In hindsight, that was a bad decision, because the technique and entire process was not well thought out nor executed properly. (I also learned In doing post research that Sculptra was the worst product to use under the eyes!). I recall the process was that Sculptra was used to fill my hollows on the Right undereye by Dr Haydon injecting, then he had a lip filler aesthetician lady fill my Left undereye. I remember thinking to myself that it might have been her first time to fill under the eyes as I clearly heard him caution her not to overfill my left eye hollows. After the session was over, I wondered why they never took before-after pictures of my eyes like most plastic surgeons do with any undereye fill or aesthetic procedure. I guess they know better, I thought… Well, after eyebags (or nodules?) formed under both my eyes, I called for an appointment to go back, but they never called me back to schedule me in for a follow up til I got very busy with traveling for work constantly thereafter. Sadly, here I am six years later still terribly unhappy with the bags under my eyes and every day I am bothered by my horrible undereye fillers whenever I look in the mirror. My under eyes have eyebags, the left undereyes are lumpier than the right side, and I look so much older. I have been depressed and regretful ever since. I write this after holding back for so many years, because I would like to share some real honest feedback about my experience and caution anyone from undergoing any undereye fills with injectables at this clinic. I should have left my undereyes alone, they were so much better prior. Lesson learned 🙏🏻

Dr. Haydon and his entire team made my experience extremely comfortable. I’m a pretty introverted person that worked really hard to get to a point where I felt comfortable and confident enough to finally get liposuction. I had very large love handles that did not really go away after losing 30 pounds. It was really effecting my confidence. I got lipo and body tite and I didn’t have any sagging in my skin. Very happy with my results and have more confidence than ever. I definitely recommend Dr. Haydon and his team. They listen to what you want and they care about the results afterwards.
