What It Treats
Aging, weight loss, and genetics can contribute to the accumulation of excess skin and fat in the upper arms.
To rectify this issue, individuals can opt for an arm lift, also referred to as brachioplasty, which effectively treats this condition. It reshapes the arms for a more toned and sculpted appearance.
What it Treats:
-
Sagging skin
-
Excess arm fat

Our Process
During an arm lift at Larson Plastic Surgery, excess skin and fat are removed from the upper arms through carefully placed incisions.
The remaining skin is tightened and repositioned to create a smoother, more contoured appearance. Dr. Larson utilizes advanced techniques to minimize scarring and ensure natural-looking results. The procedure typically takes a few hours under general anesthesia, with most patients experiencing improved arm aesthetics and increased confidence post-operatively.

Our skilled surgeons use advanced techniques to minimize scarring. Scars will fade over time, and we offer scar management options for optimal results.
Set up a “recovery zone” where essentials are within easy reach at waist height. Have zip-front or button-front tops, extra pillows to elevate, prepped meals, and your compression ready. In Tucson’s dry climate, a small humidifier can make sleep more comfortable in the first week. Plan short, frequent walks, avoid heavy lifting until cleared, and lean on our written day-by-day guide so you’re never guessing about next steps.
Well, first, we always start with your goals. If the primary concern is extra fat with decent skin elasticity, liposuction can slim the arm without a long scar.
If loose skin is the main concern, an arm lift removes excess skin for a slimmer silhouette. Many patients benefit from both—precise lipo for contour plus skin tightening via brachioplasty to prevent residual laxity.
Yes, we offer comprehensive treatment plans tailored to your needs. Combining procedures can address multiple areas for a complete transformation.
Most patients enjoy a lasting improvement for years, especially when they maintain a stable weight, protect scars from the sun, and keep muscle tone with regular activity.
While skin will continue to age naturally, the excess removed doesn’t “come back,” and we can help manage minor changes over time with, if desired, a touch-up liposuction in Tucson.
Candidacy comes down to skin laxity, overall health, and weight stability. If you’ve lost weight or noticed sagging from aging and your skin no longer “snaps back,” surgery can remove excess skin for a more youthful contour. We’ll review your medical history, medications, nicotine use, and goals, then examine skin quality and fat distribution to decide if brachioplasty (with or without lipo) is the most effective path.
