At Tran Plastic Surgery, we offer arm lift surgery also known as brachioplasty to help patients achieve slimmer, more toned, and youthful-looking arms. Many people struggle with excess skin and stubborn fat in the upper arms due to weight fluctuations, genetics, or the natural aging process. These changes can leave you feeling self-conscious, even when you’re at a healthy weight. An arm lift is designed to restore attractive arm contours so you can wear sleeveless clothing with confidence again.
What Is an Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)?
An arm lift is a surgical procedure that removes loose, sagging skin and eliminates excess fat in the upper arms. By tightening the underlying tissues and sculpting smoother contours, Dr. Tuan Tran helps patients achieve arms that look leaner and more proportionate to their overall body shape.
At Tran Plastic, we personalize each arm lift to the unique needs of the patient. Some individuals may require only skin tightening, while others may benefit from combining an arm lift with VASER high-definition liposculpture for optimal contouring results.
Why Patients Choose Arm Lift Surgery
Many patients from Huntington Beach and across Orange County choose an arm lift because:
-
Aging skin loses elasticity – even with consistent exercise, the arms may appear loose or flabby.
-
Weight fluctuations stretch the skin – making it difficult for the skin to “snap back.”
-
Genetics play a role – some people are simply predisposed to storing fat in the upper arms.
These concerns often cannot be fully corrected with diet and exercise alone. Brachioplasty offers a long-term surgical solution.
Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery
Choosing an arm lift with Dr. Tuan Tran offers both aesthetic and emotional benefits:
1. Wear the Clothing You Love
Many patients express joy in finally being able to wear sleeveless tops, dresses, and swimsuits without hesitation.
2. Restored Confidence
Toned arms can make your entire body look leaner and more youthful. Patients often feel more confident in social and professional settings after surgery.
3. Long-Lasting Results
While the arms will continue to age naturally, the improvements from an arm lift are lasting—especially when patients maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
The Arm Lift Procedure
At Tran Plastic Surgery, your comfort, safety, and results are our priorities. Here is what you can expect:
1. Consultation and Planning
During your consultation, Dr. Tuan Tran—an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon—will evaluate your arms, review your medical history, and discuss your goals. Together, you’ll design a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
2. Surgery
-
The procedure is performed under anesthesia for your safety.
-
Incisions are carefully placed on the inside or back of the arm to minimize visible scarring.
-
Excess skin is removed, underlying tissues are tightened, and liposuction may be used to eliminate stubborn fat.
-
Incisions are then closed with meticulous care to support optimal healing.
3. Recovery
-
Patients typically return home the same day.
-
Swelling and bruising are normal in the first 1–2 weeks.
-
Most patients return to light activity within 7–10 days, with full activity by 4–6 weeks.
-
Results become more visible as swelling subsides, revealing firmer, smoother arm contours.
Is an Arm Lift Right for You?
You may be a good candidate for brachioplasty if:
-
You are in good overall health.
-
You have loose or sagging arm skin that doesn’t improve with exercise.
-
Your weight is stable, and you are committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
-
You want a permanent solution to address arm flab and restore natural proportions.
During your consultation, Dr. Tran will determine whether a traditional arm lift, a mini-arm lift, or a combined approach with buttock augmentation or liposculpture is most beneficial.
