Improve Your Arms from Wrist to Shoulder with a Forearm and Upper Arm Lift

The arms are one of the most visible parts of the body, especially in warm climates like Dallas, TX, where sleeveless clothing is a staple for much of the year. However, sagging skin, excess fat, or contour irregularities on the upper and lower arms can make many people feel self-conscious. Whether caused by significant weight loss, aging, genetics, or conditions like lipedema, these changes can affect the entire arm, from the shoulder to the wrist.

At Azouz Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery in Dallas, we offer advanced procedures, including brachioplasty (upper arm lift) and forearm lifts, to restore tone, shape, and definition throughout the arm, achieving a more confident, youthful appearance.

Why Arm Skin Sags

With age or after major weight loss, the skin can lose elasticity. The upper arms, especially the area between the elbow and shoulder, are prone to sagging, commonly referred to as “bat wings.” The forearms, although less commonly discussed, can also develop loose skin and stubborn fat that diet and exercise can’t resolve.

In some patients, medical conditions like lipedema, a chronic fat disorder, can cause a disproportionately large or uneven appearance in the arms, leading to discomfort and cosmetic concerns.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, over 14,000 arm lift surgeries (brachioplasties) are performed annually in the U.S., making it one of the most popular body contouring procedures in recent years.

What Is an Upper Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)?

An upper arm lift focuses on removing excess skin and fat from the area between the elbow and shoulder. It often includes liposuction to improve contour and minimize volume before tightening the remaining skin.

Ideal for patients with:

• Sagging or “bat wing” skin
• Skin laxity after weight loss
• Fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise

Dr. Azouz utilizes advanced surgical techniques to place incisions strategically along the inner arm or underarm area to minimize visible scarring while maximizing results.

What Is a Forearm Lift?

A forearm lift is designed to target the lower half of the arm, from the elbow to the wrist, removing loose skin and refining the arm’s shape. This procedure is particularly helpful for patients who experience:

• Hanging or wrinkled skin around the lower arm
• Irregular arm contour from lipedema or fat loss
• A desire for a complete arm rejuvenation

When performed together, a full arm lift combining both brachioplasty and forearm surgery can dramatically improve the appearance and symmetry of the entire arm.
