Restore Confidence with an Arm Lift in Bellevue

Excess skin or “bat wings” on the upper arms can develop after significant weight loss, aging, or simply due to genetics. At Athēnix Advanced Plastic Surgery, our brachioplasty (arm lift) procedure in Bellevue removes loose skin and fat while tightening supportive tissues to create smoother, firmer arm contours. With advanced surgical techniques and a commitment to natural-looking outcomes, our Bellevue surgeons help patients enjoy greater comfort, confidence, and freedom in clothing choices.

What Is Brachioplasty?

Brachioplasty, or arm lift surgery, is a body contouring procedure designed to refine the upper arms by:

  • Removing sagging or stretched skin
  • Tightening supportive tissue for improved tone and shape
  • Creating a firmer, more youthful arm contour

For patients with stubborn fat deposits as well as excess skin, brachioplasty can be combined with targeted liposuction to enhance results.

Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

Patients choose arm lift surgery at Athēnix Bellevue for its transformative results, including:

  • Elimination of drooping skin for slimmer arm contours
  • Improved definition and balance in the upper body
  • Better fit and comfort in sleeveless clothing
  • Relief from irritation or chafing caused by excess skin
  • Long-lasting improvements supported by healthy habits

Who Is a Good Candidate for Brachioplasty?

You may be an excellent candidate for arm lift surgery in Bellevue if you:

  • Have loose, sagging skin on your upper arms
  • Are near a stable, healthy weight
  • Are in good overall health and a non-smoker
  • Understand the recovery process and scarring considerations
  • Desire natural, lasting improvements in arm contour

During your consultation at Athēnix Bellevue, your surgeon will evaluate your unique anatomy and recommend whether brachioplasty alone or in combination with liposuction is best suited to your goals.

What to Expect During Arm Lift Surgery

Brachioplasty is performed in our fully accredited Bellevue surgical facility under general anesthesia.

  • Incisions: Typically placed along the inside or back of the upper arm, extending from the armpit to the elbow when needed.
  • Tissue tightening: Supportive structures are reshaped and secured for lasting definition.
  • Skin removal: Excess skin is trimmed, and the remaining skin is smoothed for a more refined contour.

Incision placement and length are tailored to your individual needs, balancing optimal results with discreet scarring.

Recovery and Results

Following surgery, swelling, bruising, and mild soreness are common during the first one to two weeks. A compression garment may be recommended to minimize swelling and support healing.

  • 1–2 weeks: Most patients resume light activities.
  • 4–6 weeks: Gradual return to full routines and exercise.
  • Scarring: Incisions are carefully placed for discretion and fade significantly with time.

Once healing is complete, patients enjoy slimmer, more toned arms with results that can last for many years when paired with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
