Arm Lift
Brachioplasty in Bellaire & River Oaks, TX
Restore Smoother Contours
Sagging skin on the upper arms can be difficult to manage, especially when it doesn’t improve with diet or exercise. If you’ve lost weight, noticed age-related changes, or struggle with loose skin and excess fat, an arm lift can restore a smoother, firmer contour.
At DVA Plastic Surgery, aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon Dr. Dare V. Ajibade performs advanced arm lift procedures tailored to your goals. With specialized training from Temple University Hospital and North Texas Plastic Surgery, Dr. Ajibade combines surgical precision with artistic vision. Patients in Bellaire and River Oaks trust DVA Plastic Surgery to help them achieve natural-looking results and renewed confidence through personalized care.
The Goal: An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, removes excess skin and fat. By addressing issues that limit wardrobe choices, an arm lift enhances both the appearance and comfort of your upper arms.
The Arm Lift Procedure
Arm lift surgery is usually done under general anesthesia and takes between one to three hours, based on how much correction is needed.
Recovery & Results
Following your arm lift, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which are manageable with prescribed medication and rest. Patients generally return to light activities in one to two weeks.
Exercise and heavy lifting should wait until cleared by your surgeon. As the healing process continues and swelling diminishes, the contour of the arms becomes more defined over the following weeks, with final results improving for several months.
Long-Lasting Benefits
An arm lift offers a better fit in clothing, improved symmetry, and a significant boost in self-confidence.
In many cases, the results are long-lasting when paired with a healthy lifestyle. The smoother contours can also complement other body-sculpting treatments.
