The Procedure

What is Brachioplasty?

Brachioplasty, also known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure designed to correct skin laxity and excess skin on the inner upper arm. This condition — commonly referred to as “bat wings” — can result from natural ageing, significant weight loss or genetic factors.

During the procedure, the surgeon makes a carefully planned incision along the inner arm, from the armpit to the elbow in more extensive cases. Through this incision, excess skin and fatty tissue are removed, and the remaining skin is repositioned to create a firmer, smoother and more youthful contour.

At our clinic we use advanced suturing techniques that minimise scar visibility and promote optimal healing. Brachioplasty can be performed in isolation or combined with other body contouring procedures to achieve more comprehensive and harmonious results.
