What is an arm lift surgery?
Arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves removing excess skin and fat from the upper arms to improve their contour and appearance. During an arm lift surgery, an incision is made on the inside or back of the arm, and excess skin and fat are removed. The remaining skin is then pulled tight and sutured in place to create a smoother and more toned appearance. Liposuction may also be used to remove excess fat from the arms in combination with skin removal.
- Treatment time: 2-3 hours
- Anesthesia: General anesthesia required
- Recovery time: 6 weeks
- Cost Starting From: $10,000 CAD +
Who is a good candidate for an arm lift?
This procedure is typically performed on individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight, have excess skin due to aging, or are unhappy with the appearance of their arms. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, non-smokers, and have a stable weight. They should also have realistic expectations about the surgery’s outcomes and be committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle post-procedure to preserve their results.

What is the recovery time after an arm lift?
Immediately after the surgery, patients must wear a compression garment to help reduce swelling and promote healing. Pain and discomfort are common during this stage, and patients may be prescribed pain medication to manage their symptoms. It is important to follow the postoperative instructions carefully, limit physical activity, and wear compression garments continuously for 6 weeks. Most patients can return to work within 1-2 weeks, depending on the nature of their job.
When will I see my transformation?
The results of an arm lift are visible immediately after the procedure but will become even more apparent after a few weeks as the swelling subsides and your new contour begins to take shape. The final results will be more evident over the coming months. Results are long-lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. Improving the contour of your arms will give you a more toned and rejuvenated appearance, boosting your self-confidence for years to come.

Can I exercise after surgery?
After arm lift surgery, patients can begin light walking and stretching immediately. Still, they should avoid upper body exercises that could strain the arms for at least 8 weeks after surgery. After 8 weeks, patients may start slowly reintroducing exercise. Low-impact cardio exercises like walking, cycling, elliptical machines, and gentle yoga or Pilates are recommended to improve flexibility and strength initially without too much strain on the arms. Patients can start weightlifting and other muscle-strengthening exercises as this becomes more comfortable and easier.
