info@vivavel.com+919818262686+919818262686Arm Lift Surgery, medically known as Brachioplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that reshapes the upper arms by removing excess fat and sagging skin, resulting in a firmer, more toned arm contour. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, ageing, or skin laxity, leading to the appearance of “flabby arms” or “bat wings.” An arm lift enhances not only your appearance and confidence, but also your comfort in clothing and overall body proportion.
India is one of the world’s top destinations for affordable and advanced cosmetic surgery, offering board-certified plastic surgeons, JCI/NABH-accredited hospitals, and personalized care at a fraction of Western costs. Through VivaVel Health, international patients gain access to India’s leading cosmetic surgery experts, transparent cost packages, and end-to-end medical tourism support, including visa, travel, stay, translators, and post-surgery care.
You may be a good candidate for an arm lift if you experience:
Loose or drooping skin from the upper arm to the elbow.
Fat deposits that don’t respond to diet or exercise.
Wrinkled or crepey skin texture.
Asymmetry or uneven contours between both arms.
Discomfort wearing sleeveless clothing due to appearance.
Reduced confidence or body dissatisfaction after weight loss.
An arm lift may be needed when:
Significant weight loss has left loose, hanging skin on the upper arms.
Ageing causes reduced skin elasticity.
Genetic factors lead to excess upper-arm fat deposits.
Exercise-resistant fat remains despite workouts.
Post-bariatric surgery patients seek full body contouring.
Consult a plastic surgeon if:
You have sagging skin on your arms despite maintaining a stable body weight.
You wish to enhance upper-body contour after bariatric surgery.
You’re combining arm lift with liposuction for smoother results.
You are in good general health and have realistic aesthetic expectations.
Before the surgery, your cosmetic surgeon performs a comprehensive evaluation:
Medical and surgical history review.
Physical assessment of upper-arm fat and skin elasticity.
Photographic and contour analysis for surgical planning.
Blood and health checkups are conducted to assess anaesthesia readiness.
Detailed discussion about desired outcomes, scar placement, and recovery.
Do’s:
Wear your compression garment as instructed.
Keep arms elevated while resting to minimize swelling.
Take prescribed medications regularly.
Walk gently after 1–2 days to promote circulation.
Attend all scheduled follow-up visits.
Don’ts:
Avoid lifting heavy objects for 4–6 weeks.
Do not smoke or consume alcohol during recovery.
Refrain from strenuous workouts until cleared by your surgeon.
Avoid direct sun exposure on scars.
Recovery & Outlook
Initial healing: 1–2 weeks with mild swelling or discomfort.
Full recovery: 4–6 weeks for final results to appear.
Long-term results: Smooth, toned arms and improved skin elasticity.
With proper diet and fitness maintenance, results are long-lasting and natural-looking.
