Armlifts General Information

Lipo for upper arm excessive fat is an excellent procedure for those that carry their weight in this region.

An arm lift is added when sagging skin is present, whether it be due to heredity, aging, or from a period where you’ve gained and lost a lot of weight.

Armlifts - The Procedure

For Liposuction Patients:

  • Only 2 incisions are required, one at the elbow and one in the axilla.

For Arm Lift Patients:

  • Both an axillary incision and an above the elbow inner arm incision are necessary to remove the saggy skin in the upper arm.

*Both procedures are performed under deep sedation.
