Arm Lift
Arm Lift in Dallas and Highland Park
Nothing will boost your confidence like achieving a toned, fit-looking silhouette. However, factors such as aging, weight fluctuations, and genetics can lead you to accumulate sagging skin and excess fat in your upper arms. An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a highly effective surgical solution to create a firm contour.
Dr. Ali Abtahi, a trusted plastic surgeon in Southlake, TX, specializes in arm lift surgery, offering a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique aesthetic goals. With extensive experience and a patient-first approach, Dr. Abtahi delivers natural-looking results that will enhance your proportions.
What Is an Arm Lift?
An arm lift is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms, creating a smoother, more toned contour. This procedure is ideal for people who struggle with:
- Loose, sagging “bat wings” that hang from the upper arms
- Stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet or exercise
- A lack of definition in the arms due to skin laxity
Arm Lift Options
Brachioplasty is customizable, depending on whether you require minor skin tightening or more extensive correction.
A full arm lift is ideal for patients with significant excess skin and fat. The procedure involves:
- Removing loose skin along the inner arms
- Tightening and reshaping the underlying tissue
- Eliminating stubborn fat deposits for a slimmer profile
This option provides long-lasting, dramatic results and can be ideal if you have recently lost a substantial amount of weight that has left you with sagging skin.
A mini arm lift is a less invasive option for those with mild to moderate sagging. This procedure:
- Requires smaller incisions, typically hidden in the armpits
- Focuses on minor skin tightening
- Has a shorter recovery time than a full arm lift
A mini arm lift is best for patients with good skin elasticity who want subtle yet noticeable improvements.
Liposuction alone may provide your desired results if you have good skin tone but excess fat. This technique:
- Removes stubborn fat from the upper arms
- Enhances muscle definition
- Pairs well with an arm lift for optimal contouring
Recovery and Healing
The arm lift recovery timeline varies. Dr. Abtahi provides detailed postoperative care instructions to ensure a safe, efficient recovery with optimal results.
Patients who undergo a full arm lift or mini arm lift should expect to take approximately 10 to 14 days away from work and other daily activities. Swelling and bruising are common in the first week, gradually improving as you heal. If you experience discomfort, you can manage it with prescribed pain medication and proper aftercare.
We’ll provide you with a compression garment to wear for several weeks to promote healing, reduce swelling, and support your newly contoured arms. You must avoid strenuous activities like heavy lifting and high-impact exercise for at least four to six weeks to prevent straining your healing tissues.

How Much Does an Arm Lift Cost?
Several factors influence the final price of an arm lift. During your consultation, Dr. Abtahi will assess your goals and provide a personalized cost estimate based on the following considerations.
- Procedural extent: A full arm lift requires more extensive skin removal and contouring, making it more costly than a mini arm lift, which involves smaller incisions and minimal tissue adjustment.
- Anesthesia and facility fees: The anesthesia used and the surgical facility where Dr. Abtahi operates can impact the total cost.
- Additional treatments: Combining an arm lift with liposuction will enhance your results, but will make the procedure more expensive.
Since brachioplasty is a cosmetic procedure, insurance typically does not cover this surgery. However, Dr. Abtahi’s office offers flexible financing options to help patients achieve their desired results within their budget.
Are You a Good Candidate for an Arm Lift?
An arm lift may be the ideal solution if you are unhappy with loose, sagging skin or stubborn fat in your upper arms. The procedure shapes and tones, restoring a more youthful and contoured appearance.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have significant skin laxity or excess fat on your upper arms that does not respond to diet and exercise
- Are in good overall health and do not have any medical conditions that could impair healing
- Have realistic expectations and are committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle after surgery
- Are at a stable weight, as significant fluctuations can impact long-term results
Dr. Abtahi will conduct a thorough consultation to assess your concerns, review your medical history, and determine the most effective approach to meet your goals.
