Arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, is a plastic surgery procedure designed to reshape and tighten the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat.
The plastic surgeons of Amelia Aesthetics located in Raleigh, NC, specialize in this transformative procedure, helping patients achieve a more defined and toned appearance.
Many individuals seek arm lift surgery after significant weight loss or due to the natural aging process or genetics, which can result in sagging skin in the upper arms.
During the procedure, an incision is made along the inner arm, and the surgeon removes excess skin and fat to create a more streamlined contour. This can significantly enhance the overall silhouette and boost self-confidence.
Recovery from arm lift surgery typically involves a downtime of 10-14 days, during which patients may experience some swelling and discomfort. Most are advised to avoid strenuous activities for up to six weeks to ensure optimal healing. While many patients notice immediate improvements, the full results of the surgery will develop over several months as swelling subsides.
If you're considering an arm lift in Raleigh, NC, book a consultation at Amelia Raleigh to discuss your goals and how this procedure can help you achieve the toned arms you desire.


A mini arm lift involves a smaller incision, typically placed in the armpit, to address mild to moderate sagging skin that is only in the very upper part of the arm near the armpit.

The extended arm lift incision runs from the armpit down the arm and continues along the side of the chest and under the breast, targeting excess skin and fat on both the upper arms and adjacent areas.

The standard arm lift incision is the most common and extends from the armpit to the elbow along the inner or back of the arm and sometimes across the armpit.
