An arm lift is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the lower portion of the upper arm. Also known as brachioplasty, it addresses the drooping skin that often develops after significant weight loss or natural aging. While diet and exercise can strengthen the underlying muscle, they cannot tighten loose, inelastic skin. This surgery removes excess tissue and pockets of localized fat to create a smoother, more proportionate appearance.
We prioritize your comfort and safety from start to finish. On the day of your surgery, you will arrive at our private Kalispell plastic surgery facility. You will be placed under general anesthesia, and our surgeon will make an incision on the inside or back of your arm. The length of this incision depends entirely on the amount of tissue we need to remove. The surgeon will then eliminate the excess skin, use liposuction to remove stubborn fat if necessary, and carefully redrape the remaining skin and close the incision for a tight, smooth contour.
An arm lift effectively targets the physical changes that cause the upper arms to look heavy or aged.
An arm lift specifically targets the region from the underarm area down to the elbow.
We focus on the underside of the upper arm, where skin is most prone to drooping and losing elasticity.
Your arms will look more balanced with the rest of your body.
You can comfortably wear short sleeves, tank tops, and fitted clothing without feeling self-conscious.
Removing excess skin reduces the chafing and irritation that often occur during physical activity.
By clearing away the loose tissue, the natural tone of your arm muscles becomes visible.
You may be a good candidate if you have significant upper arm skin laxity and maintain a relatively stable weight. Patients should be in good overall health and non-smokers. We will review your medical history during your consultation to ensure this procedure is the safest and most effective option for your goals.

Arm Lift Recovery
Transparency is a core value at Mountain West Plastic Surgery. We want you to be fully prepared for the healing process. Following your procedure, your arms will be wrapped in a compression garment to minimize swelling and support your new contours. You will need to keep your arms elevated and avoid lifting anything heavy for several weeks. Most patients take one to two weeks off from work. You can typically return to strenuous activities and upper body workouts after four to six weeks. Our VIP concierge team will provide detailed instructions and check on you regularly to ensure a smooth recovery.
Arm Lift Results
You will notice a significantly slimmer and more contoured arm shape immediately after surgery. However, your final results will become fully apparent over the course of several months as residual swelling subsides and the incision lines mature.
The structural changes made during an arm lift are designed to be permanent. As long as you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle, you will enjoy your firmer, more youthful arm contours for many years to come.

es. An arm lift requires an incision, which means there will be a scar. We strategically place the incision on the inside or back of the arm so it is hidden when your arms are resting at your sides. The scar will fade significantly over the first year.
Liposuction only removes fat. It does not tighten the skin. If your primary issue is excess, inelastic skin, liposuction alone will actually make the sagging worse. An arm lift is required to remove the loose tissue.
We recommend reaching your goal weight and maintaining it for at least six months before undergoing this surgery. Significant weight fluctuations after your procedure can compromise your results.
You will experience soreness, swelling, and tightness during the first few days of recovery. We provide detailed pain management protocols and medication to ensure you remain comfortable as your body heals.
Yes. Many patients choose to combine an arm lift with a breast lift, tummy tuck, or liposuction as part of a comprehensive post-weight-loss body lift plan or mommy makeover. We will discuss your safety and surgical options during your consultation.
