Enhance your arm contours with an arm lift at Vinings Surgery & Hair Restoration Center. This procedure addresses sagging skin, excess fat, and weakened muscle, delivering a more toned and youthful appearance to the upper arms.
Achieve toned upper arms
An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the upper arms. By removing excess skin and fat, it addresses issues such as sagging, loose skin, and stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. The procedure tightens underlying muscles and reshapes the arm to achieve a more toned and youthful look. Typically performed under general anesthesia, an arm lift can enhance overall arm contours and boost self-confidence.
Arm lift treats:
- Sagging or drooping skin on the upper arms
- Excess fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise

Your arm lift experience
Consultation
During your consultation, you’ll discuss your goals and concerns, and Dr. Colgrove will evaluate your arm’s condition. He will explain the arm lift procedure, including the techniques he uses and the expected outcomes. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, review before-and-after photos, and understand the potential risks and benefits. This ensures you have a clear understanding of the procedure, and it helps Dr. Colgrove tailor the surgery to your needs.
Surgery
Dr. Colgrove will perform the surgery under general anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free. The procedure involves making incisions on the inner or back side of your arms, depending on the extent of skin and fat removal required. Excess skin and fat will be removed, and the remaining tissue will be tightened and reshaped. The surgery typically lasts a few hours and is performed in our AAAASF-accredited outpatient surgery center.
Recovery
Post-surgery, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which are common side effects. You will have dressings on your arms and may need to wear a compression garment to support healing. Most patients experience a recovery period of about 1 to 2 weeks, during which you should limit physical activity to allow your arms to heal properly. Dr. Colgrove will provide detailed instructions for care and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.
Results
As your arms heal, you will gradually notice a more toned and contoured appearance. The final results of your arm lift will become fully visible in about 6 to 12 months as swelling subsides and your new arm contours settle. The improved arm shape will enhance your confidence and comfort, making it easier to wear sleeveless clothing and show off your results.
