Why Choose The

Arm Lift?

Why choose Arm Lift Model shown

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, addresses loose, sagging skin on the upper arms—often called "bat wings"—that can develop due to aging, weight loss, or genetics. Diet and exercise alone cannot always tighten this excess skin.

At Aria Cosmetic Surgery, our board-certified surgeons use advanced techniques to remove excess skin and fat, tighten underlying tissue, and create smoother, more contoured arms. Incisions are carefully placed to minimize visible scarring while maximizing results.

What Our Patients Are Asking

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a good candidate for an arm lift?

Ideal candidates have loose, sagging skin on the upper arms that doesn't respond to diet and exercise. Candidates should be at a stable weight and in good general health.

Where will arm lift scars be located?

Arm lift incisions are typically placed along the inner arm, from the armpit to the elbow. Our board-certified surgeons use techniques to minimize scarring, and scars fade significantly over time.

What is arm lift recovery like?

Most patients return to work within 1-2 weeks and can resume full activities within 4-6 weeks. You'll wear compression garments to support healing from your arm lift.

Are financing options available?

Yes! Aria offers flexible financing through Cherry, PatientFi, CareCredit, and Alphaeon Credit.

  • “Dr. Porshinsky takes so many more precautions than other plastic surgeon's I have heard of. I was able to enter this elective surgery with little to no worry even though I have type-2 diabetes. The office staff seemed to know me so personally by the time my surgery day came. Another doctor informed me I was in good hands with Dr. Porshinsky being such a skilled surgeon. I'm so glad I had my abdominal-plastic surgery at Aria Cosmetics with Dr. Porshinsky. I am 6 weeks out, healing very well and loving how my scar and belly button are healing.”
