About the Procedure

What Is Arm Lipectomy — Brachioplasty (Arm Lift)?

An arm lipectomy (brachioplasty or arm lift) removes excess skin and fat from the inner upper arms following significant weight loss. The procedure reshapes the arm from the underarm (axilla) to the elbow, dramatically improving the appearance and allowing patients to wear short-sleeved clothing with confidence. It is typically staged separately from lower body procedures — usually 3–6 months apart — to minimise anaesthetic time and optimise healing.
