If you’ve noticed sagging skin or stubborn fat on your upper arms that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise, brachioplasty surgery can help. It removes loose tissue and reshapes the arm for a smoother, more sculpted look. Eko Plastic Surgery offers arm lift to patients in Palm Desert, Palm Springs, and Rancho Mirage, CA with expert care and natural results.
What Is a Brachioplasty?
A brachioplasty, also called an arm lift, is a surgical procedure that eliminates excess skin and fat from the upper arms to create a more sculpted appearance. It can be an excellent solution for patients experiencing sagging skin due to aging. Many patients who have lost a significant amount of weight may also find that they can benefit from arm contouring after weight loss, as it can eliminate the loose skin that often remains after shedding a lot of pounds.
After an arm lift procedure, patients can enjoy enhanced muscle definition and improved shape in the arms.
What Is the Brachioplasty Surgery Like?
Generally, the brachioplasty procedure is performed under general anesthesia and on an outpatient basis.
During the procedure, Dr. Eko will make an incision on the inside of the arm, somewhere between the elbow and the armpit. The length of this incision will depend on the extent of treatment necessary to fulfill your treatment goals.
Dr. Eko sometimes uses liposuction to add definition. The skin is then tightened and sutured for a smoother contour.
Arm Lift Surgery Recovery and Results to Expect
After a brachioplasty surgery, there is an initial recovery period of one to two weeks. During this time, patients must take time off from work and other activities to ensure a smooth recovery. You can expect swelling, bruising, and varying discomfort during this time. You must avoid any activities that require lifting or other strenuous arm movements until the initial recovery period is complete.
You’ll wear compression garments to support healing and reduce swelling. Most patients return to light activities within 7–10 days, fully recovering in 4–6 weeks. After swelling fully subsides, final results are typically visible within a few months.
The results from your brachioplasty surgery will be visible immediately. However, you may not be able to notice the full results of treatment until swelling and other side effects begin to fade. The results from brachioplasty are permanent, but the arms will still be susceptible to the natural aging process.
After a brachioplasty, patients can enjoy sculpted arms that enhance their figure and give them a youthful appearance. At Eko Plastic Surgery, we offer this and other body sculpting procedures to the residents of Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and the nearby areas of California.

FAQs About Brachioplasty (Arm Lift)
How long do brachioplasty results last?
Results are long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight. Skin elasticity naturally changes with age, but most improvements are permanent.
Will there be visible scarring?
Yes, but Dr. Eko places incisions strategically to minimize visibility. Scars typically fade with time and proper care.
Can brachioplasty be combined with other procedures?
Yes, many patients combine an arm lift with liposuction or a tummy tuck. It can enhance overall body contouring results.
Is brachioplasty surgery painful?
Some discomfort is expected, but pain is usually manageable with prescribed medication. Most patients report soreness rather than intense pain.
When can I work out again?
You can resume light cardio after two weeks and strength training after six weeks, with Dr. Eko’s clearance.
How soon will I see results?
You’ll immediately notice initial improvement, with final results becoming more visible over several weeks. Swelling will gradually decrease during recovery.
