Main Information

An upper arm lift (sometimes known as a “brachioplasty”) is part of a cosmetic surgery procedure called body contouring which is designed to remove skin and fat from the upper arms.
The first body lifting operations began in Brazil and France in the 1960s and 1970s.

Although a “tummy tuck” is now a popular cosmetic procedure, in the 1970s, there were problems with unpredictable results, odd body shapes, poor scarring and other complications which made surgeons more cautious in offering these operations.
From the late 1980s, a better understanding of how skin and fat are built up, and of how the body changes shape with age, have allowed surgeons to redesign these operations and they are now much more successful.
In recent years body lift procedures have started to gain in popularity, and according to statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), 19,596 upper arm lifts were performed in 2019 in the U.S., an increase of 6.7% on 2018 statistics, and a rise of 20.6% compared to 2015 figures.
No official figures are yet available for the U.K., but there are a few surgeons who are starting to offer this procedure.
If you're considering an upper arm lift, the following information will give you a basic understanding of the procedure. It can't answer all your questions, since a lot depends on the individual patient and the surgeon. Please ask your surgeon about anything you don't understand.
