Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Newport Beach, CA | Dr. Nirav Savalia | Newport Beach Center for Plastic Surgery

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the upper arm region. This transformative procedure addresses excess, sagging skin between the elbow and underarm, tightening supportive tissues and reducing localized fat deposits to enhance arm contour and definition.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

Candidates for arm lift surgery typically include individuals who have:

• Significant skin laxity in the upper arm region
• Achieved and maintained a stable body weight
• Completed body contouring after substantial weight loss
• Experienced skin sagging due to aging or genetics

Surgical Approach and Technique

Dr. Savalia employs a meticulous surgical approach to arm lift procedures. Incisions are strategically placed along the inner arm to minimize visible scarring. During the procedure, excess skin and tissue are carefully removed, and liposuction may be incorporated to refine arm contours and achieve a more sculpted appearance.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from an arm lift procedure requires careful management. Patients are advised to:

• Elevate arms while sleeping for the first week
• Avoid heavy lifting for approximately six weeks
• Return to work and light activities within two to three weeks

Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

An arm lift can provide multiple aesthetic and functional benefits, including:

• Improved arm definition and tone
• Reduction of skin irritation and chafing
• Enhanced clothing fit and confidence
• More proportionate body contours
