Arm lift surgery, or brachioplasty, removes loose skin and stubborn fat from the upper arms to create a smoother, firmer contour. Your treatment is planned around your anatomy, goals and recovery needs.
BOOK A CONSULTATION MEET OUR SURGEONSAn arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and contour the upper arms by removing excess skin and stubborn fat. It is particularly beneficial for patients who have experienced significant weight loss, age-related skin laxity, or reduced skin elasticity that cannot be improved through exercise alone.
The procedure creates firmer, smoother, and more proportionate upper arms while restoring confidence in wearing sleeveless clothing. Depending on your individual needs, liposuction may be combined with an arm lift to enhance the overall contour and achieve the most natural-looking result.
At Battersea Hospital, every arm lift procedure is tailored to your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals, with patient safety and long-lasting results at the centre of every treatment plan.
