As Featured In
Excess skin on the upper arms can be difficult to address through exercise alone. Whether the concern stems from weight loss, ageing, or reduced skin elasticity, many people find that loose or sagging skin in this area affects both comfort and confidence. Arm lift surgery in London offers a lasting solution by removing excess skin and reshaping the upper arms for a more streamlined appearance.
At Delta Clinics, we offer tailored arm lift procedures designed to improve arm contour and address unwanted bulk or skin folds. Performed by experienced surgeons, brachioplasty can restore a more defined upper arm shape while supporting comfort and movement.
Arm Lift Results
Complete results from arm lift surgery become more visible over several months as swelling settles and the skin adapts to its new contours. While the procedure can provide a more defined and proportionate arm shape, it does not stop the natural ageing process. Factors such as weight fluctuations, skin quality, and lifestyle can influence how results are maintained over time. Some patients may consider additional treatments in the future to further refine or support their outcome as their body changes.
*Individual results vary as the outcomes experienced by one person do not necessarily reflect the outcomes that other people may experience, as results may vary due to many factors, including the individual’s genetics, diet and exercise.
Please schedule the initial consultation so we can review your case and show you similar patient results.

What is Brachioplasty?
Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure that removes loose skin and reduces excess fat from the upper arms. It is often sought after significant weight loss or natural skin changes due to ageing. The goal is to reshape and smooth the underlying tissue, creating a firmer, more contoured arm profile.
At Delta Clinics, we perform several types of arm lift procedures, including traditional upper arm lifts and extended brachioplasty for patients with more extensive concerns. Each treatment plan is designed around your individual anatomy, skin condition and aesthetic goals.

What Does the Arm Lift
Procedure Involve?
Arm lift surgery is typically performed under general anaesthesia and may involve different incision patterns depending on the extent of skin laxity and fat deposits.
Types of Arm Lift Procedures
Standard Upper Arm Lift
This technique targets the area between the elbow and armpit, removing loose skin and tightening underlying tissues for a more refined contour.
Extended Arm Lift
For patients with more pronounced concerns, the incision may extend along the side of the chest wall to address additional skin folds and bulk.
Liposuction-Assisted Brachioplasty
In cases with minimal skin laxity but stubborn fat, liposuction may be used in conjunction with surgery to support better arm contouring.

Recovery Timeline
Healing times vary from person to person, but the general recovery period for arm lift surgery typically follows this timeline:
- Week 1–2: Initial swelling and bruising, arm movement may be limited. A compression garment may be worn to support healing.
- Week 3–4: Swelling reduces, most patients can return to light daily activities.
- Weeks 6–8: Arms begin to take on their new shape. Most patients resume full activity and exercise.
- Months 3–6: Scars continue to fade and refine; final results become more apparent.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is recovery like after an arm lift?
Recovery involves some swelling, bruising and limited movement in the early weeks. Most people return to normal activities within four to six weeks, with results continuing to refine over time.
Is brachioplasty permanent?
Brachioplasty offers long-term results, especially when combined with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. However, natural ageing may still affect skin elasticity over time.
How do I get rid of excess skin on upper arms?
Surgery for excess skin on the upper arms (known as brachioplasty) is currently the most effective method to address significant skin laxity that doesn’t respond to exercise alone.
Do arm lifts leave scars?
Yes, arm lifts do result in scarring, typically along the inner arm. However, scars usually fade over time and are placed to be as discreet as possible.
Are there non-surgical options for flabby arms?
Non-surgical options like radiofrequency skin tightening or body contouring devices may help mild cases, but they are less effective than arm reshaping surgery for significant skin laxity.
