Brachioplasty for a Slimmer Look
Hilton Head Island | Bluffton
Struggling With Loose or Sagging Skin on Your Upper Arms?
Weight fluctuations, aging, and genetics can lead to excess skin and tissue on the upper arms, creating a droopy or sagging appearance. Unfortunately, exercise alone cannot correct skin laxity. If you feel self-conscious about your arms or experience discomfort due to excess skin, an Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) may be the solution to achieving firmer, more contoured arms.
Why Consider an Arm Lift?
- Removes excess skin for a firmer, more sculpted appearance
- Defines the shape of the arms for better proportions
- Improves comfort and mobility by reducing irritation from loose skin
- Boosts confidence by creating smoother, more youthful-looking arms
How Does an Arm Lift Work?
- Incisions are placed discreetly along the inside or back of the arm, extending from the underarm to just above the elbow.
- Excess skin and fat are removed through excision or liposuction, depending on your needs.
- The remaining skin is tightened and secured, creating a sleeker, more defined arm shape.
The length and placement of the incision will depend on the amount of skin removed and your surgeon’s expert recommendation for optimal results.
What to Expect During Recovery
- Bandages and dressings will be applied immediately after surgery.
- A compression garment may be worn to minimize swelling and support healing.
- Mild discomfort is normal and can be managed with oral pain medication.
- Following post-operative care instructions is essential for proper healing and to reduce the risk of complications.
Most patients experience noticeable improvements as swelling subsides, revealing more sculpted and toned arms.

FAQS About Arm Lift (Brachioplasty): Sculpt & Tighten Your Upper Arms
You may be a candidate if you experience physical discomfort such as back, neck, or shoulder pain due to large breasts, or if your breast size limits daily activities or causes emotional stress. A consultation can help determine if surgery is right for your needs.
Many patients report noticeable relief from chronic discomfort, including better posture, reduced back and neck strain, and improved mobility after breast reduction. The procedure can also ease skin irritation caused by bra straps or under-breast chafing.
Scars typically form around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease, and sometimes along the crease itself. While visible at first, they often fade over time with proper healing. Surgical techniques are designed to minimize and discreetly place scars.
Most patients return to light activity or work within 1 to 2 weeks. Full recovery—including swelling resolution and scar maturation—can take several months. You’ll be advised to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for 4 to 6 weeks.
