Tired of wearing long sleeve and loose-fitting garments to hide your insecurities? Loose skin combined with upper arm fat, commonly referred to as bat wings, can make us feel embarrassed or uncomfortable, especially in hotter weather when short sleeve clothes become necessity. No one deserves to feel uncomfortable in their own body. So what can be done about those bat wings? Brachioplasty is a great option for both men and women looking to treat excess skin and fat in the upper arms:
What is brachioplasty surgery?
Brachioplasty, aka an arm lift, is a surgical procedure that tightens and smooths the upper arm. It’s an outpatient procedure that surgically removes excess skin and fat pockets that accumulate in the upper arm around the triceps. The surgery takes roughly 2 hours and is performed under general anesthesia in our fully accredited, award-winning surgical suite here in Santa Rosa.
During your free consultation, our body surgeon, Dr. Tran, will help you decide if brachioplasty can help you achieve your cosmetic goals. Dr. Tran will discuss your goals, the details of the procedure, recovery, expected results and any concerns you may have. She will also perform a thorough examination to determine whether an arm lift is the right procedure for you.
Any of our procedures can be custom tailored to meet your unique goals and cosmetic concerns. Some patients who come in for arm lift consultations decide to schedule a body lift to contour the whole body. Other times, brachioplasty may not even be necessary, and patients opt for EmSculpt or CoolSculpting instead.

Most men and women with excellent overall health are great candidates for brachioplasty, especially for those who have recently experienced significant weight loss.
