Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) in Dubai
Arm Lift Dubai is medically known as brachioplasty. It is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms. It restores a firmer, more toned, and sculpted appearance. Whether caused by significant weight loss, ageing, or genetics, sagging upper arm skin (commonly called ‘bat wings’) cannot be fixed with exercise alone. Arm lift surgery in Dubai provides a long-lasting, natural-looking solution.
Dr Sanjay Parashar, a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 30 years of experience, performs brachioplasty surgery in Dubai at Cocoona Centre for Aesthetic improvement. Every procedure is designed for the patient’s skin laxity, fat distribution, and aesthetic goals to achieve safe, natural results.
Quick Information
Arm Lift Dubai is a procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms, creating a more toned and defined look. It’s ideal for individuals with sagging skin due to weight loss, aging, or genetics. The procedure restores a smooth, youthful arm contour, improving both appearance and self-confidence.
Surgery Type
Surgical upper arm lift, removing excess skin and fat through an incision along the inner or posterior arm.
Recovery Time
Desk work within 7 to 10 days. Avoid heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for 4 to6 weeks. Final results are visible at 3 to 6 months.
Anaesthesia
Performed under general anaesthesia at a DHA-licensed facility in Dubai.
Duration
2 to4 hours, depending on skin removal and whether arm liposuction is performed simultaneously.
What Is Arm Lift Dubai (Brachioplasty)?
Brachioplasty, or arm lift surgery, addresses excess, sagging skin and localised fat between the elbow and armpit. It is the only effective solution when the upper arm skin cannot tighten naturally or with exercise.
The procedure involves a precise incision along the inner or posterior arm. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining tissue is tightened for smooth, contoured arms. Axillary brachioplasty Dubai offers a shorter, hidden incision for mild cases. Brachioplasty in Dubai is often combined with arm liposuction for complete contouring, especially when fat contributes notably to arm fullness.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Arm Lift Dubai?
Arm lift surgery in Dubai suits men and women with sagging upper arm skin resistant to exercise. You may be a candidate if you:
- Have significant loose, sagging upper arm skin (‘bat wings’) from weight loss, ageing, or genetics
- Have lost major weight and have excess upper arm skin
- Have upper arm fullness from both excess skin and localised fat
- Are at a stable, healthy weight
- Are you a non-smoker, or can you stop smoking 4+ weeks before surgery
- Are in good overall health
- Have realistic expectations. Scars along the inner arm are expected, but traded for firmer, contoured arms
Patients with fat but minimal skin laxity may benefit from arm liposuction alone. Dr Sanjay recommends the most suitable procedure based on your arm anatomy.
Benefits of Brachioplasty Arm Lift Dubai
Here are all the types of Arm Lift Dubai that are given below:
Standard Brachioplasty (Full Arm Lift):
For moderate to severe excess skin along the full arm. Incision runs from the axilla to near the elbow. Removes skin and fat for complete contouring.
Axillary Brachioplasty (Minimal-Incision Arm Lift):
Ideal for mild to moderate laxity near the armpit. Incision hidden entirely in the axilla for no visible arm scars.
Brachioplasty with Arm Liposuction:
For patients with excess skin and fat. Arm liposuction reduces fat first, then brachioplasty removes loose skin. This combination delivers detailed upper arm sculpting.
