Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) in Abu Dhabi – Elyzee Hospital

At Elyzee Hospital in Abu Dhabi, our Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) procedure targets loose skin and excess fat in the upper arms to deliver a smoother, firmer, and more contoured appearance. This surgery is ideal for individuals who experience arm sagging due to weight loss or aging and want a more refined and toned look.

Benefits of Arm Lift at Elyzee Hospital

  • Tightening and contouring: Removal of excess skin and localized fat to create a refined upper arm shape.
  • Boost in self-confidence: Toned arms improve confidence when wearing sleeveless or fitted clothing.
  • Improved arm symmetry: Balances both arms to achieve a more harmonious appearance.
  • Better arm function: Removing loose skin may improve mobility and reduce discomfort.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

  • Loose, sagging, or excess skin in the upper arm region.
  • Stubborn fat that does not respond to diet and exercise.
  • Good overall health and a stable body weight.
  • Realistic expectations regarding the outcome.
  • Commitment to maintaining results with a healthy lifestyle.

Arm Lift surgery is not a weight-loss method. Patients who achieve the best results have already reached their weight goal and wish to remove remaining excess skin and fat.

Consultation and Preparation at Elyzee Hospital

During your consultation at Elyzee Hospital, our plastic surgeon will assess your arm condition, discuss goals, and design a customized treatment plan. Pre-operative preparation may include:

  • Stopping certain medications or supplements that increase bleeding risk.
  • Completing medical tests to ensure fitness for surgery.
  • Avoiding smoking to support proper healing.
  • Arranging transportation and aftercare support after surgery.

What Happens During the Procedure?

  • Anesthesia: General anesthesia or IV sedation ensures comfort throughout the procedure.
  • Incision placement: Incisions are discreetly placed along the inner or back of the arm to minimize visibility.
  • Excess skin and fat removal: Fat is removed using surgical excision and may include liposuction.
  • Tissue tightening: Underlying supportive tissues may be tightened to improve contour.
  • Incision closure: Sutures or surgical adhesive are used to close the incisions.

The procedure typically takes 1 to 3 hours depending on the complexity of the case.

Recovery After Arm Lift at Elyzee Hospital

After surgery, patients spend a short time in recovery before returning home. Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are normal during the early healing phase. To support recovery:

  • Wear compression garments to reduce swelling and support the healing tissues.
  • Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and excessive arm movement for the first weeks.
  • Follow all postoperative care instructions and prescribed medication.
  • Attend scheduled follow-ups at Elyzee Hospital to monitor healing progress.

Final Results

As swelling subsides, arm contours continue to improve. Scarring fades over time and becomes less noticeable when scar-care instructions are followed. Final results are typically visible in a few months.
