Introduction
About Arm Lift
If you find yourself avoiding certain outfits and clothing types because of how your upper arms look, you’re not alone. As the body ages, it produces less collagen and elastin. These are the building blocks of healthy skin. At the same time, you may notice more fat than usual. Worrying about wings of skin and fat can take away from your enjoyment of your favorite activities. A brachioplasty surgery, or arm lift, tightens loose, drooping skin, whether as a result of aging or significant weight loss. Dr. Tehrani’s arm lift expertise can slim and contour the upper arms, creating astounding results and helping you toward a more confident you.

Many factors have likely affected your choice to pursue cosmetic surgery. Is the arm lift right for you? Dr. Tehrani will help you carefully choose the best path forward during a consultation. Here are a few ways to know if the arm lift can fit your cosmetic goals.
Sculpt and Define the Arms
An arm lift can get rid of tissue that conceals the natural contours and shape of your arms. The result is a more sculpted, defined look that draws attention in the best way.
Remove Bat Wings
“Bat wings” are a common concern, and can be especially embarrassing. Bat wings are accumulated fat and skin that hangs from the upper arms when you put your arms up. The arm lift is the single best solution to this concern.
Boost Confidence in Certain Clothing
Feeling confident wearing sleeveless clothing can be difficult when you have excess fat and skin in your upper arms. An arm lift can expand your wardrobe options and open opportunities to look and feel your best.
Benefits of Arm Lift
How Can We Help You Feel Great About Your Decision?
Once you’ve determined if the arm lift is compatible with your goals, picture how it can bring about positive change in your life. Here are some of the top benefits of this body contouring procedure.
Long-Lasting Results
An arm lift can permanently remove stretched skin and stubborn fat from the upper arms, leading to long-term improvement in your overall appearance.
Slimmer, More Toned Arms
One of the major benefits of brachioplasty is its ability to help your skin rebound from significant weight loss. Dr. Tehrani can address slack, wrinkled skin, specifically in your upper arm region.
Full Range of Movement
Dr. Tehrani can improve the aesthetics of your arms without compromising their range of motion. You should never sacrifice functionality for appearance. An arm lift can help you look great and continue to do the things you love.

Arm Lift
Brachioplasty requires Dr. Tehrani to maneuver the many layers of tissue in the upper arm to bring out its natural contours. This extensive technique is only possible during a surgical lift procedure. An arm lift is likely the best option if you have significant skin laxity. Dr. Tehrani can resuspend the tissues and bring out the slim, toned appearance hiding underneath lax skin and stubborn fat.
Liposuction
Liposuction can be an ideal option for the upper arms if you have only pockets of fat without sagging skin. Specialty liposuction options like VASER liposuction can produce moderate skin tightening while enhancing the muscle contours. Dr. Tehrani sometimes combines traditional liposuction with an arm lift for best results.
Arm Lift Recovery
Immediately following your arm lift procedure, our team will monitor your progress. Your arms will be outfitted with compression garments, and you might also have drain tubes placed at the incision sites. Drains help draw off fluid and prevent complications. The swelling should begin to subside 1-2 days after surgery. Our team will schedule a follow-up appointment to track your continued progress. Please avoid strenuous activity for at least three weeks following brachioplasty.
Within 4-6 weeks, you can begin to enjoy your full results.
