Not every person who is unhappy with the look of his or her upper arms needs arm lift surgery. In some cases, liposuction alone may be enough to improve definition and resculpt the upper arms; however, liposuction does not address loose skin.
Men and women may choose an arm lift as part of body contouring following weight loss. People who have already achieved their target weight and have maintained it steadily for several months or more often want to have a few plastic surgery procedures to remove excess skin and tone and tighten certain areas of the body, including the arms, thighs, hips, and abdomen.
After surgery, it is important to protect your incisions and refrain from lifting motions. Dr. Savalia encourages you to sleep with your arms elevated for about a week to help minimize any discomfort and reduce swelling. Most of our arm lift patients are back to work and regular daily activities within two or three weeks, but lifting anything heavy (including your children) should be avoided for at least six weeks.
By performing an arm lift, I can tighten the skin of the upper arm for better definition and tone. In some cases, an arm lift can even increase comfort when excess skin is causing chafing or irritation.
“I had wanted an arm lift for many years. I could never wear anything with short sleeves because I had a lot of loose skin. I feel so lucky to have met Dr. Savalia! I feel fantastic about my procedure.”
Aging or weight loss has possibly left you with excess, unwanted skin on your upper arms. By performing an arm lift, Dr. Savalia can tighten the skin of the upper arm for better definition and tone. In some cases, an arm lift can even increase comfort when excess skin is causing chafing or irritation. Here are some of the common reasons we hear about why a person is considering an arm lift:
If you are considering an arm lift, you must understand that the procedure trades the excess, loose skin for an improved, toned arm – at the cost of a visible scar. Dr. Savalia is careful to place incisions along the inner arm where they will be best hidden and uses meticulous techniques to ensure the scar appearance is as minimal as possible
Through the incision, he will sculpt the upper arm by removing excess skin and tissue. In many cases, he will incorporate liposuction to fine-tune upper arm definition and contours. Dr. Savalia is careful to take an approach that’s conservative enough for natural-looking results, yet effective enough to help you reach your cosmetic goals.

A., Google ReviewDr. Savalia and his staff cared for me when I needed it most. I needed to have some breast tissue removed for review, and he was able to rapidly qualify me for a breast reduction as well for my back pain in long ongoing issues. I’m incredibly pleased with the results, and was shocked how little to no pain I had post surgery. As a registered nurse, I was very impressed with his bedside manner and the professionalism of his staff. I would highly recommend him and choose him over and over again if I had a choice.

In my practice, I see a lot of patients who are concerned that their breasts are showing their age. Growing older naturally leads to changes in reproductive hormones that dictate the tissue and structure of breasts. The result is that, over time, your breasts begin to lose their firmness and fullness. While this process is […]
