ARM LIFT BRACHIOPLASTY | CHICAGO, IL

Get Rid of "Bat Wings" with an Arm Lift

"Such an amazing team, very informative and made me feel comfortable when it comes to asking any questions and preparing for my procedure thank you so much!" 

Arm Lift surgery (brachioplasty) gets rid of the loose skin, or “bat wings,” that droop from the arm due to aging or weight loss.

 

Dealing with sagging upper arms can be difficult. Despite maintaining a healthy weight and committing to a focused exercise routine, excess skin in this area often persists due to the stubborn nature of the tissue.

 

Diet and exercise alone can't provide the same results as an arm lift or get rid of loose skin. Dr. Anh-Tuan Truong or Dr. Kevin Lin can help you achieve the toned look you’re striving for. Contact our team of elite cosmetic surgeons for a consultation today.

Arm Lift Surgery Benefits

Weight fluctuations, heredity and aging can all impact the arms. Men and women who are interested in brachioplasty surgery, often want to eliminate loose skin. These “bat wings” can droop from the upper arm due to aging or following weight loss. Loose tissue that hangs from the arms can cause you to feel self-conscious or embarrassed, or prevent you from wearing certain types of clothing or participating in activities. When diet and exercise can’t fix your cosmetic concerns, a brachioplasty can bring tone and contour back to your arms.

  • Achieve sculpted, smooth, and toned arms
  • Eliminate excess skin following significant weight loss
  • Tighten and rejuvenate sagging, aging skin

Types of Arm Procedures

Arm Lift

A traditional arm lift or brachioplasty is the most common type of arm lift. It focuses on removing loose, sagging skin and extra fat from the upper arms, often caused by weight loss or aging.

Your surgeon makes an incision along the inside or back of the upper arm, from the armpit to the elbow, and removes the extra skin and fat to tighten the tissues, and closes your incision.

 

This procedure is best for if you have a lot of loose skin that extends from the armpit down to the elbow.

Extended Arm Lift

An extended arm lift addresses not only your upper arms but also the sides of your chest where you might have extra skin. Your surgeon will make a longer incision that starts in your armpit, goes down your arm, and extends to your chest. They’ll remove excess skin and fat from a larger area and contour your arm and chest for a smoother, more natural appearance.

 

If you’ve lost a significant amount of weight and have loose skin on both your arms and the sides of your chest, this could be the right choice for you.

Mini-Arm Lift

A mini-arm lift is a less invasive option that’s perfect if you have mild sagging or only a small amount of loose skin. Your surgeon will make a smaller incision, usually hidden in your armpit. They’ll remove less skin and fat, focusing on tightening the upper part of your arm.

 

If you have a small amount of loose skin or fat and want a quicker recovery, this might be the perfect fit for you.
