What is an arm lift?

An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that gives your upper arms a tighter and more youthful appearance. During this procedure, we remove excess skin and fat, giving your arms a beautiful, streamlined shape. This procedure is ideal after significant weight loss or due to ageing, when the skin loses its elasticity and starts to droop.

Everything you need to know about an arm lift

Who is an arm lift suitable for?

An arm lift is ideal for people aged 18 and over who suffer from excess, sagging skin on the upper arms that does not disappear with diet or exercise. This often occurs after significant weight loss or due to ageing, when the skin loses its elasticity.
An arm lift is a good option if you have a stable weight, are in good health, and have realistic expectations about the results of the surgery.

How does an arm lift work?

01

Consultation

At your initial consultation, you will discuss your goals and expectations with the surgeon. We look at your medical history and discuss any risks to ensure you are well prepared.

02

Preparation

Before surgery, you may need to temporarily stop taking certain medications and smoking. This helps to reduce the risk of complications and ensures a smooth operation.

03

The procedure

The arm lift is performed under general anaesthesia. The surgeon makes an incision on the inside or back of your upper arm. The size and location of the incision depends on the amount and location of excess skin.

04

Closing the incisions

After removing excess skin and fat, the remaining skin is tightened and carefully sutured to achieve a beautiful result.

05

Care

After surgery, the incisions are covered with bandages and you can wear a compression garment. This helps to reduce swelling and supports smooth healing.

The cost of an arm lift can vary greatly according to the patient's specific needs. At I Care Clinic, an arm lift can start from €3 500 including VAT.

What about recovery and aftercare?

arrow

After surgery, it is crucial to carefully follow the surgeon's instructions to promote a good recovery. This may include the following:

  • Wearing a compression garment to minimise swelling
  • Taking rest and avoiding strenuous exercise for several weeks
  • Regular follow-up with the surgeon to monitor healing
  • Avoiding smoking, as this can slow down the healing process

Full recovery may take several months, during which the patient can gradually resume normal activities. It is also important to protect the scars from the sun to allow them to heal as inconspicuously as possible.
