Arm Lift
An upper arm lift (brachioplasty) is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat and loose skin from your underarms.
What is an arm lift?
The outpatient procedure is the most effective way to get rid of bat wings, as they’re commonly called. Aging, genetics, and significant weight fluctuations (particularly after significant weight loss or bariatric surgery) can all contribute to sagging arm skin, which can’t be tightened by exercise and diet alone.
Who will benefit from an arm lift?
Ideal candidate for thigh lift will be a non-smoker who’s near their ideal weight, follows a healthy lifestyle, and has realistic expectations about their procedure. Their arms should have significant excess skin or significant sagging from a loss of elasticity that can’t be remedied with exercise or nonsurgical solutions.

Frequently asked questions
How long is an arm lift procedure?
Arm lift surgery takes 1–3 hours. It’s usually performed under general anaesthesia, though less complex arm lifts can be done with local anaesthesia and IV sedation.
How long does recovery take?
It usually takes four to six weeks before patients are feeling 100% normal again. During this time, you’ll need to limit your range of motion and keep your incision sites stable. The initial post-surgery recovery can be uncomfortable, but the discomfort tends to abate after three or four days. You may be instructed to wear compression garments for up to four weeks.
Is an arm lift painful?
You’ll be under general anaesthesia during the surgical procedure, so you won’t feel anything until you wake up. You may have a prescription for pain medication, to help you through the first few days. You can also expect your arms to look swollen and feel tight and tender.
How long does an arm lift last?
Arm lift results can last a decade or more, assuming your weight remains stable. Our skin naturally loses elasticity as we age, so may want to consider nonsurgical skin-tightening treatments to ensure the longevity of your new look.

Dr Oudit has done a fantastic job with the Vaser. I’ve had my arms, flanks, lower and upper abdomon done and the results are truly amazing. Very limited pain and downtime too. I feel so much more confident with my body. .. The stubborn fat I had around my hips and stomach were really effecting my self esteem and it’s completely gone. The intricate job he’s done has left me with not only a flat stomach and less fat but a lovely natural hourglass shape. I’m very pleased with the results and would highly recommend working with Dr Oudit

Excellent experience with my vaser surgery, can’t be any happier with the result. The staff are all very professional, Mr Oudit and his team explained everything, reassured me and answered all my questions patiently, can’t ask for a better plastic surgeon. Definitely highly recommend to anyone considering any cosmetic surgery!
Carmen Tang
I felt well looked after from my initial consultation to the surgery. Every question that I had was able to be answered in a concise yet easy to understand manner, and the whole team were very approachable and friendly. There was no pressure into making a decision and I was able to take my time in deciding what I felt was best in terms of implant size and desired outcome. .. Following my surgery I am so pleased with the results! The outcome is exactly what I wanted and I feel that Mr Oudit was very knowledgeable and understanding from my initial description of the ideal result to what was actually feasible based on my frame. I would definitely recommend Mr Oudit breast augmentation to my friends/family and would happily go again for any future surgery.
