An arm lift may be suitable for men and women who have loose or sagging skin on the upper arms following significant weight loss, ageing, or loss of skin elasticity. It is ideal for those whose weight has stabilised and who wish to restore contour and tone.

Yes, some fat can be removed during the procedure, either through direct excision or gentle liposuction, to smooth the arm’s contour. If excess fat is the main concern, liposuction alone may be an alternative.

Scars are typically placed along the inner arm, running from the armpit to the elbow, where they are least visible. They fade gradually over 6–12 months and become fine, pale lines.

Discomfort is mild to moderate and easily managed with pain relief. Tightness or swelling is normal during the first few weeks and improves steadily.

Most patients return to work after about two weeks and resume light exercise after six weeks. Heavy lifting and strenuous upper-body activity should be avoided for around eight weeks.

Yes — results are long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and active lifestyle. While the natural ageing process continues, the improved contour and firmness remain for many years.

Risks include swelling, bruising, infection, delayed wound healing, or minor asymmetry. In experienced hands, complications are rare, and careful aftercare ensures a smooth recovery and beautiful result.
