Arm Lift / Brachioplasty

Fed up with “bat-wing” skin that keeps you in long sleeves? An arm lift safely removes excess skin and reshapes the upper arm so you can wave, work out, and wear fitted tops with confidence—often in under two hours with results that last for years.

FAQs - Arm Lift / Brachioplasty

How much does an arm lift cost?
Starts at $12,500 and includes your board-certified surgeon, private surgical suite, compression sleeve, and 12-month doctor-guided follow-up. With approved credit, payments can be as low as $195 – $325 per month after deposit. Exact quote after exam; individual needs vary.
Can I go home the same day?
Yes. You’ll relax in recovery for about an hour, meet safety checks, and an adult must drive you home.
Will I need special after-care?
Wear the provided compression sleeve 24/7 for the first 2 weeks, elevate arms on pillows, and start gentle range-of-motion by day 3. We’ll teach scar-care massage and sunscreen protection.
Are there alternative procedures or add-ons?
Mild laxity may respond to ArmTite® radio-frequency tightening or liposuction alone; combine a lift with breast or torso contouring for balanced results.
How visible are the scars?
The incision hides along the inner arm or posterior crease; scars fade from pink to a thin, pale line over 12 – 18 months with silicone and laser care.
Does an arm lift hurt?
Most describe soreness similar to an intense workout, managed with prescription analgesics for 2-3 days then OTC meds.
How long do results last?
Results are considered long-term as long as you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle; skin will continue to age naturally.
Can I finance my surgery?
Absolutely—Leva Medical offers transparent pricing & flexible financing since 1986.
