What is an arm lift?

Beautifully Refined Lines

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms. It's designed to address sagging skin caused by aging, significant weight loss, or genetics. With strategically placed incisions and meticulous care, Dr. Kachare delivers natural-looking results so that you can bare your arms with confidence.

What is the arm lift procedure like?

A Naturally Toned Appearance

During an arm lift, Dr. Kachare often combines liposuction with incisions along the inside or back of the arm, sometimes extending to the chest for more extensive cases.

Excess skin and fat are removed, carefully creating smooth, natural-looking contours, and the remaining skin is tightened to create a more sculpted appearance.

Sagging skin on the upper arms, or “bat wings”
