Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
Remove excess skin. Improve contour. Restore confidence.
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 SURGEONSWhat is an Arm Lift?
An 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know.
Your surgeon will explain scarring, recovery, compression garments and activity restrictions during your consultation. These common questions provide a helpful starting point.
Arm Lift FAQs
Will there be visible scars?
Yes. The incision is typically placed along the inside of the upper arm where it is as discreet as possible. Scars will fade over time and your surgeon will provide advice on scar management to help achieve the best possible result.
How long is the recovery?
Most patients return to desk-based work within 10 to 14 days. Swelling and bruising gradually improve over several weeks, while strenuous exercise should be avoided for approximately four to six weeks.
Will my results be permanent?
The excess skin removed during surgery will not return. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle will help preserve your results for many years.
Can an arm lift be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Many patients combine an arm lift with liposuction or other body contouring procedures, particularly following significant weight loss or as part of a body transformation plan.
