Loose, drooping skin on the upper arms can be frustrating, especially when diet and exercise no longer help. Whether caused by weight loss, aging, or genetics, excess arm skin often leads people to explore a body procedure that can restore a more toned appearance and help them feel confident in fitted clothing or sleeveless styles.
An arm lift at Plastic Surgery Center of Dallas is designed to refine your natural shape while maintaining a balanced, elegant result. Dr. Rachel Walker brings an artistic, meticulous approach to every procedure, helping patients achieve results that look natural and feel empowering.
What is an Arm Lift?
An arm lift, or brachioplasty surgery, eliminates excess skin and fat from the upper arms. The goal is to create a firmer, more toned arm contour that better matches the rest of your body.
Dr. Walker customizes each arm lift to your anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals, ensuring refined, natural-looking results.
Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery
An arm lift offers both cosmetic and emotional benefits, especially for patients who feel limited by loose arm skin.
Key benefits include:
- Smoother, tighter upper arm contours
- Improved arm definition and proportion
- Better fit in clothing, especially sleeveless styles
- Increased confidence after weight loss or aging changes
Many patients find that an arm lift helps them fully enjoy the results of their overall body transformation.
Who is a Good Candidate for an Arm Lift?
You may be a good candidate if you are unhappy with sagging or excess skin on your upper arms. Ideal candidates typically:
- Are at or near a stable, healthy weight
- Have loose or hanging arm skin that does not improve with exercise
- Are in good overall health and do not smoke
- Have realistic expectations about surgical results
During your consultation, Dr. Walker will help determine whether an arm lift alone or a combination approach is best for you.
The Arm Lift Procedure
Arm lift surgery is performed using carefully placed incisions, usually along the inner or back portion of the arm. Dr. Walker removes excess skin and fat, and reshapes the remaining tissue for a smoother contour. In some cases, liposuction may be used to enhance definition.
Dr. Walker’s precise technique focuses on minimizing visible scarring while maximizing aesthetic results. The procedure is typically an outpatient surgery.
Recovery and Healing
Recovery from an arm lift varies, but most patients return to light activities within one to two weeks. Swelling and bruising are normal and gradually improve over time.
During recovery, you can expect:
- Compression garments to support healing
- Temporary activity restrictions
- Gradual improvement in arm shape over several weeks
Following post-operative instructions closely helps ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results.
Arm Lift Results
Arm lift results are long-lasting and often life-changing for patients who have struggled with excess arm skin. As swelling subsides, your arms will appear firmer, smoother, and more proportionate. Maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle helps preserve your results over time.
