Arm Lift

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty), is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms, creating a firmer, smoother, and more toned appearance. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or have loose, sagging skin due to aging or genetics. At Silur Clinic in Tirana, Albania, our surgeons carefully plan and perform arm lifts to achieve natural, balanced, and long-lasting results.

Techniques

At Silur Clinic, an arm lift is performed under general anesthesia and usually lasts 1.5–3 hours, depending on the extent of correction needed. Surgical techniques may include:

• Limited Incision Lift – targets mild sagging, with a small incision near the underarm.

• Standard Arm Lift – removes more extensive excess skin and fat along the inner arm, typically from the underarm to the elbow.

• Combination with Liposuction – for improved contouring and definition.

Incisions are placed strategically to minimize visible scarring, often along the inner arm where they are less noticeable.

Care After Arm Lift Surgery

Recovery after an arm lift may involve mild swelling, bruising, and temporary discomfort for the first few days. Patients are usually advised to wear a compression garment for 3–6 weeks to support healing and maintain contour. Most patients can resume light daily activities within 1–2 weeks, while strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 4–6 weeks. As swelling diminishes, the final results reveal smoother, firmer, and more youthful upper arms. At Silur Clinic, we provide detailed aftercare guidance and follow-up to ensure safe healing and optimal, long-lasting results.
