What is Arm Reduction?

Arm reduction, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at reshaping the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat, typically to address sagging skin that can develop due to ageing or significant weight loss. This procedure tightens and smooths the underlying supportive tissue to create a more toned and contoured appearance. Arm reduction can enhance comfort, especially when wearing short-sleeved clothing, and is often combined with other body contouring procedures for more comprehensive results.

Who May Benefit

Those with sagging skin on upper arms seeking firmness.
People after weight loss wanting a toned look.
Individuals dissatisfied in sleeveless clothes.

Your Journey Awaits

How is the procedure performed?

Anaesthesia

Anaesthesia

The procedure starts with administering anaesthesia, either general or local with sedation, to ensure the patient’s comfort throughout the surgery.

Skin and Fat Removal

The surgeon makes an incision along the inner or back side of the upper arm, then removes excess skin and fat to create a smoother, more contoured appearance.

Incision Closure

After reshaping, the surgeon carefully closes the incisions with sutures, using techniques to reduce visible scarring and promote a natural, even look as the arms heal.

What is the Recovery like?

Recovery from Arm Reduction typically involves a few key stages.
  • Swelling and bruising are common and typically subside within a few weeks.
  • Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for several weeks post-surgery.
  • Stitches are usually removed or dissolve within 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the technique used.
  • Final results become visible as swelling decreases, generally within a few months after the procedure.

What are the Risks?

Arm reduction surgery carries several risks, including infection, bleeding, and adverse reactions to anaesthesia. Patients may also experience scarring, changes in skin sensation, or asymmetry between the arms. Additionally, complications such as delayed healing or fluid accumulation can occur. It is crucial for candidates to discuss these potential risks with their surgeon.

What are the Costs?

The cost of arm reduction surgery varies based on factors such as the surgeon’s fee, facility charges, and anaesthesia costs.
