We do aesthetics better
Harley Street Skin Clinic can provide the best brachioplasty (arm lift) procedure in London. We offer modern facilities and excellent services that will help you reshape your arm in a smooth way.
We have the best cosmetic surgeon in town. Experts in the newest methods and products, offering innovative and safe procedures for brachioplasty (arm lift).
Our brachioplasty reshapes and contours our patient’s upper arm. They are so happy because, aside from receiving proper care, they also receive the exact results they want.
How does it help the sagging upper arm?
A brachioplasty, or arm lift in simple terms, is a cosmetic treatment that is surgically performed to tighten and contour the skin and tissue in the upper arm to appear more defined. For individuals who wish to reshape their upper arm and want to get rid of loose or excess fat due to either weight loss or simply the natural effects of ageing, an arm lift procedure is for you.
A mini-arm lift is a good procedure for someone with minimal skin laxity; most loose sagging is only inside the armpit. Because it is just a small incision in your armpit, the scar is smaller. Individuals with larger pockets of fat or loose skin are not a good candidate for this kind of treatment.
This arm lift process removes both fat and skin from the armpit to the elbow. This is ideal for people who have mild to severe laxity in the upper arms following significant weight loss. It can be carried out by your surgeon on the inner or posterior part of your upper arm.
This has the most powerful results of all the arm reduction surgeries. Being the sections of skin that are generally larger, an upper arm lift may be advised for you if you shed the upper arm skin due to significant weight reduction. The surgeon will, however, make a long incision from your elbow to the armpit up to your chest wall. The size of the incision will be based on how wide your loose skin and fat are.

A brachioplasty works by surgically removing pocket fat and loose or saggy skin on the upper part of your arms to make them more defined. The surgery is typically performed on individuals with poor skin elasticity because they are drastically losing weight or because of ageing effects. The incision of your brachioplasty will depend on how wide the treated area is. The usual cut is from your armpit to your elbow up to your chest wall.
A brachioplasty is great for removing unwanted fat and loose and sagging skin on your upper arm. It can make your arm look slimmer and firmer, as well as younger. It has a positive effect when it comes to your physical and emotional well-being because you can now wear clothes with short sleeves or even tops without sleeves, and you can also connect with others after your surgery.
No need to hide anymore!
Once you pass the laboratory results and your doctor’s advice that you are good to go for the surgery, then you are all set! On the day of your surgery, a local anaesthesia or general anaesthesia will be given to you, for your relaxed and comfortable during the surgery. You will be given antibiotics during and after the surgery to help avoid infections. Your surgeon will start to cut the back side or inside part of your upper arm. After the incision has been made, your surgeon will start the removal of your extra fat and skin, and then your surgeon will close the cut using stitches. They will also use sterile gauze on your arm to cover the wound to help avoid infection.
A tube may need to be put underneath your skin to drain the fluid from your wound. You will experience pain, and that is normal because of the incision; it can be managed by pain medicines. You can eat already, as long as you are ready, but you may be required to stay overnight in the hospital for observations. Your surgeon will provide care guide instructions; you should strictly follow them to avoid infections or complications.
The most common side effects from a brachioplasty can be the same as from any other surgery, as it is an invasive procedure with general anaesthesia. Your surgeon will eliminate the redundant fat and tissues in your arm via an incisional plane from your underarm to your elbow. The wounds from your incision may result in common side effects such as bleeding, infection, tingling sensations, numbness, and nerve damage. Choose a decent and certified cosmetic surgeon with plenty of experience. They are prepared with the right methods to reduce the danger involved in carrying out brachioplasty. Book an appointment.
Brachioplasty is a surgical procedure, and your surgeon will create an incision to perform the surgery. Because of that, you may feel uncomfortable before, during, and after the process. Your surgeon will administer local or general anaesthesia to make you feel more relaxed and comfortable. The pain normally lasts for about 2 to 3 days after your surgery. To lessen the pain you are experiencing, you may take a pain medicine that your doctor has prescribed.
You just need one surgery to get your desired results from brachioplasty. If you are unhappy with the result after your healing period, you should call your doctor right away to discuss your concerns. Your doctor may suggest surgery to revise your results. Non-surgical procedures that you may be advised against are laser, ultrasound, or radiofrequency treatments. These will improve your upper arm more.
Yes, you may opt to have other treatments with brachioplasty. Those treatments you can include are liposuction, breast lift, and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). They will help you complete your body contouring plan and get full results. Speak to your surgeon about any plans you may have.
A wound will be left after the incision has been made because brachioplasty is performed surgically. You have to watch for any symptoms that you may feel and report them as soon as possible to your surgeon. If you are experiencing problems like abnormal swelling, too much bleeding, and pain that cannot be managed by pain medications, if you have a fever and discharge on the incision site, it might be a sign of infection. If you are not able to keep fluids due to vomiting and you feel numbness in your arms or hands, call your doctor right away!
This usually depends on the type of work you do; some patients are comfortable returning to work two weeks after the surgery. A little longer leave of absence may be necessary for more physically demanding jobs. Your doctor will determine whether you can return to work or not; it still depends on your condition and healing progress.

In an arm lift consultation, your doctor will evaluate the current condition of your health, and you will be asked to undergo some lab work like chest X-rays and electrocardiograms. They may also give you some preoperative medications to take and adjust the dosage of your current medications and supplements before the arm reduction surgery. Lastly, you have to quit smoking one or two months before your operation to avoid slowing down healing.
The fluid that accumulates under the skin needs to be drained via a tube placed in the wound for several days after your arm reduction surgery, and you also have to wear compression garments to help your skin adhere to underlying muscles. Do not shift weight or raise heavy items; it can cause your stitches to open, which might result in poor wound healing. Rest and raise your hands around the cushion, and follow your surgeon’s order for proper healing care.
Brachioplasty results can boost your confidence because they help improve the shape of your arms, making you feel comfortable and happy with yourself.
There is also a big change in your psychological as well as social behaviour after your surgery.
Reshaping and contouring the arms
Smoothing the remaining skin
Tightening the excess tissue
A brachioplasty helps patients have a tightened and lifted upper arm because it removes their loose and saggy skin. Their skin becomes smoother and firmer after the procedure.
A surgical tube is normally placed by a surgeon to help drain the fluids from your wound and relieve the pressure.
You may experience some common side effects like bruising, swelling, and numbness in the treated area.
Your swelling and bruising will start to fade away, but you can still feel numbness or tingling in the treated area.
Your swelling and bruising should decrease by now, and your scar will begin to fade. The results are now noticeable.
The swelling should be gone at this time, and you will now enjoy the result of your surgery.
If you have already decided to get brachioplasty surgery and you feel that you are fully ready physically, mentally, and emotionally, then that is the time to have one. Just make sure that you have a stable weight and that you have no medical conditions like anaemia, because it can increase the risk of complications. Also, if your medical evaluation results are positive and your surgeon has already given you clearance to proceed,.
A brachioplasty carries potential side effects because it is done surgically. Those risks are swelling and bruising, tingling and numbing feelings, softness and soreness, infection, bleeding, nerve damage, as well as arm lift scars.
Speak with your surgeon about the risks and consequences of having arm lift procedures, so you can be aware of what to do once you experience those reactions.
