Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

Mini Arm Lift: What Is It?

A mini brachioplasty is a smaller-scale surgical procedure, ideal for cases where skin laxity is mild and limited to the upper arm area near the armpit.

It requires a single, smaller incision and results in minimal scarring compared to a full arm lift.

It’s a great solution for those seeking fast and effective results without undergoing a more extensive surgery.

What Issues Can Brachioplasty Treat?

This procedure can successfully address:

• Excess skin and fat
• Sagging and loss of skin elasticity

Stretch marks and even mild cellulite

How Is the Procedure Performed?

Brachioplasty is performed under general or local anesthesia, depending on the patient and the technique used.

The most common method involves an incision along the inner arm, typically extending from the armpit to the elbow.

Through this incision:

• The surgeon removes excess skin and fat
• The underlying tissues are reshaped
• The skin is smoothed and tightened for a natural result
• The incision is closed using absorbable sutures

If necessary, the procedure can be combined with liposuction for optimal contouring.

Although the incisions are permanent, over time they fade significantly and become barely noticeable.

Most patients do not require an overnight stay at the clinic.

Recovery is usually quick and straightforward, provided patients follow all post-op instructions, including wearing a compression garment for at least 4 weeks.

Are There Any Risks?

Brachioplasty is a low-risk procedure when performed by an experienced plastic surgeon.

However, like all surgeries, minor risks such as hematoma, infection, or temporary swelling may occur.

Choosing a qualified and experienced professional can significantly reduce the likelihood of complications.

Results of Arm Lift Surgery

The results of both full and mini brachioplasty are truly impressive:

• Skin tightening: Say goodbye to loose, sagging skin.
• Enhanced appearance: Slimmer, more defined arms enhance the overall body silhouette.
• Minimal scarring: Incision lines fade over time and become discreet.
• Long-lasting effects: Results are permanent, as long as patients maintain a healthy lifestyle.

To preserve results, it’s important to follow a balanced diet and engage in regular physical activity after recovery.

Cost of Brachioplasty

The cost of the procedure depends on various factors, including:

• The extent of the skin laxity
• The technique used (full vs. mini arm lift)
• Whether it’s combined with other procedures (like liposuction)
• The desired aesthetic results
