Achieve Sleek, Toned Arms with Personalized Care
At Weniger Plastic Surgery, we specialize in transforming sagging upper arms through our expertly performed arm lift procedures (brachioplasty). We’ll remove excess skin and fat while contouring your arms for a firmer, more youthful appearance during a 2-3 hour surgery under general anesthesia.
Our patients typically return to light activities within 1-2 weeks and achieve full recovery in 4-6 weeks. We prioritize natural-looking results through strategic incision placement and meticulous surgical techniques, ensuring your arms complement your overall body proportions.
Dr. Weniger’s artistic eye and surgical precision will guide you toward the confident, comfortable appearance you desire. Discover how our thorough approach creates lasting, beautiful results.
Understanding the Arm Lift Procedure
An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, surgically removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms to create a more toned, contoured appearance. We perform this transformative procedure to help patients who’ve experienced significant weight loss or natural aging effects that have left them with sagging upper arm tissue.
During the arm lift procedure, we make strategic incisions along the inner or back of the upper arm, typically extending from the armpit to the elbow. This allows us to remove excess skin and precisely contour the underlying tissue. We’ll tighten and reshape the remaining skin to achieve smoother, more proportionate arms that better match your overall body contours.
Upper arm contouring through brachioplasty can dramatically improve the appearance of “bat wings” or loose, hanging skin. We customize each excess skin removal technique based on your specific needs and desired outcome. The procedure typically takes 2-3 hours under general anesthesia, and we’ll provide detailed recovery instructions to ensure optimal healing and results. Most patients can return to light activities within 1-2 weeks, with full recovery typically occurring within 4-6 weeks.
Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery
The transformative benefits of arm lift surgery extend far beyond cosmetic improvements. Through brachioplasty, we help our patients achieve firmer, more youthful-looking arms that better reflect their overall health and fitness levels. The removal of excess, sagging skin not only enhances appearance but also increases comfort and confidence in wearing short-sleeved clothing.
We’ve found that arm tightening procedures provide our patients with improved mobility and reduced skin irritation. When excess skin is removed, many patients report easier arm movement and less chafing during physical activities. The procedure also eliminates the uncomfortable rubbing that can occur between the arm and body, reducing the risk of skin infections and rashes.
Beyond the physical benefits, we see significant psychological improvements in our patients after arm lift surgery. Many tell us they feel more confident in social situations and no longer feel the need to hide their arms. The procedure can help restore proportion to your upper body, creating a more balanced silhouette that better aligns with your fitness goals and personal aesthetic preferences.

Preparing for Your Arm Lift
Proper preparation plays an essential role in achieving excellent outcomes from your arm lift surgery. Before your surgical arm toning procedure, we’ll conduct a thorough medical evaluation to confirm you’re a suitable candidate. We’ll review your medical history, current medications, and any lifestyle factors that could impact your recovery.
In the weeks leading up to your arm rejuvenation, we’ll ask you to follow specific guidelines. You’ll need to cease smoking at least six weeks before surgery, as it can impede healing. We’ll also provide a list of medications and supplements to avoid, as some can elevate bleeding risk. Maintaining a stable weight is crucial, as significant weight fluctuations can influence your results.
Two weeks before your cosmetic arm surgery, we’ll give you detailed pre-operative instructions. These include arranging for someone to drive you home after surgery, preparing your recovery space, and planning time off work. You’ll need to fast for several hours before surgery, and we’ll advise you on what to wear on the day of your procedure. Following these preparations carefully helps ensure a smooth surgery and best healing process.

Recovery and Aftercare for Arm Lift Patients
Recovery following your arm lift necessitates careful attention to post-operative instructions and a commitment to proper healing protocols. After your arm reshaping procedure, we’ll provide detailed guidelines to guarantee optimal healing and results. Most patients can return to light activities within 1-2 weeks, though complete recovery typically takes 4-6 weeks.
During your plastic surgery recovery, we recommend keeping your arms elevated above your heart when possible to minimize swelling. You’ll need to wear compression garments as instructed, which help control swelling and support the newly contoured tissues. We’ll schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and address any concerns.
It’s vital to avoid strenuous arm movements and heavy lifting for several weeks after surgery. We’ll guide you on when it’s safe to resume normal activities and exercise. Proper incision care is essential – we’ll provide specific instructions for cleaning and dressing your surgical sites to prevent infection and optimize scar healing. Most patients experience some temporary numbness, tightness, and bruising, which gradually improve as recovery progresses. Following our aftercare instructions diligently will help achieve the best possible outcome from your arm lift procedure.
We’re committed to helping you wave goodbye to unwanted arm flab with the confidence of a Roman gladiator entering the arena. Through our advanced brachioplasty techniques, personalized care approach, and years of surgical expertise, we’ll guide you toward achieving the sculpted, natural-looking arms you desire.
