Is An Arm Lift Right For You?

For many individuals, particularly those who have undergone significant weight loss, stubborn excess skin in the upper arms can make it difficult to achieve the toned appearance they desire. While diet and exercise can improve muscle definition, they cannot tighten loose skin.

  • An arm lift provides a powerful solution to restore smooth, contoured arms that look as strong as you feel.

Ideal candidates for an arm lift in Beverly Hills at Galanis Plastic Surgery include:

  • Individuals with loose skin and/or excess fat in the upper arms that do not improve with diet and exercise.
  • Patients who have maintained a stable weight for at least 6 months.
  • Healthy individuals without medical conditions that could impair healing.

If you're self-conscious about sagging skin or lack of definition in your arms, Dr. Galanis can help you determine the best approach for achieving your ideal results.

Galanis Plastic Surgery: Your Beverly Hills Brachioplasty Destination

At Galanis Plastic Surgery, we believe that plastic surgery isn’t about conforming to beauty standards—it’s about helping you feel more self-assured and confident in your own skin. Led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Charles Galanis, our practice is known for expertly tailored, natural-looking results. Specializing in breast and body procedures, Dr. Galanis combines technical precision with an artist’s eye to create beautifully contoured arms that align with your unique anatomy and goals. We offer a boutique patient experience with concierge-level care, guiding you through every step of your transformation. Education and transparency form the core of our treatment philosophy—we want you to feel fully informed and empowered every step of the way.

Arm Lift Techniques

At Galanis Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, we customize each procedure to meet your needs and exceed your expectations. An arm lift is performed under IV/conscious sedation or general anesthesia, using one of the following approaches:

Skin Excision Arm Lift (Traditional Brachioplasty)

  • Best for patients with significant skin laxity due to weight loss or aging.
  • Involves an incision placed along the inner arm, where it is most discreet.
  • The incision length depends on the amount of excess skin removed.

Liposuction-Only Arm Contouring

  • Ideal for patients with good skin elasticity but excess fat.
  • Uses small incisions to remove fat, resulting in minimal scarring.
  • Less downtime than traditional brachioplasty.

During your consultation, Dr. Galanis will assess your unique anatomy and recommend the best technique to achieve smooth, natural-looking, lasting results.

Recovering from Your Arm List

Brachioplasty is an outpatient procedure—that means you can go home the same day. Most patients can return to work within a week, depending on their job demands. You’ll see an immediate improvement with traditional brachioplasty. If you decide on liposuction brachioplasty, you’ll see results develop over 3 months. Either way, you can expect to wear a compression garment for approximately 4 weeks to minimize swelling and support healing. Drains (if used) are removed within a week, but sutures are dissolvable, meaning you don’t need to come back in for a removal.

After surgery, you can resume light activity right away. Light exercise such as walking is encouraged, but strenuous exercise & heavy lifting will be restricted for 6 weeks. Remember, you should not shower or get your incisions wet for 2 days and you should avoid lifting more than 10 pounds for 2 weeks. No matter what, Dr. Galanis and our team will guide you through every step of the recovery process to ensure optimal healing. Every plastic surgery journey is different, and that includes recovery. Our team makes your comfort and safety our highest priority because we love to see quick recoveries, beautiful results, and confident smiles for years to come.
