Arm Lift (Male)
Tighter arms
Defined arms — tailored to the male physique
Excess upper arm skin following significant weight loss can't be resolved through strength training or diet. A brachioplasty removes the surplus for a firmer, cleaner arm contour. At Surgical Suites of Beverly Hills, male arm lift is performed in a private OR with a team experienced in body contouring for male patients.

What is a male arm lift?
Brachioplasty removes excess skin and fat from the inner upper arm, from elbow to armpit, and tightens the remaining tissue for a smoother contour. Liposuction can be combined for additional fat reduction. The incision runs along the inner arm in a location hidden in natural shadow. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes 1–2 hours. Most patients return home the same day.
