An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and tighten the skin and underlying tissue of the upper arms. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or have loose, sagging skin due to aging. The surgery removes excess skin and fat, resulting in firmer, more toned arms with a smoother contour. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia, and recovery time varies, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few weeks.

The arm lift procedure typically takes 2 to 3 hours, depending on the extent of the surgery.
Number of nights in hospital
