Arm Lift Surgery
(Brachioplasty)
Remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms for firmer, better-contoured arms and the confidence to wear what you love.
What Is Arm Lift Surgery?
Arm Lift Surgery (Brachioplasty) is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove loose, sagging skin and excess fat from the upper arms. It helps improve arm contour and firmness, especially in individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or age-related skin laxity.
At Skin Win Clinic, arm lift surgery is performed with a focus on natural contours, symmetry, and patient safety — with careful scar placement to achieve the best aesthetic outcome.
Why Arm Lift Surgery Is Needed
Significant Weight Loss
Rapid or large-volume weight loss leaves excess skin that cannot retract on its own
Ageing
Loss of skin elasticity over time causes upper arm skin to sag and lose firmness
Genetic Factors
Some individuals are predisposed to poor skin tone in the upper arms
Poor Skin Tone
Despite regular exercise, skin may not tighten sufficiently in some individuals
ℹ️ Exercise alone often cannot tighten excess skin. Arm lift surgery is the most effective solution for sagging upper arm skin.
