If you are feeling self-conscious about your upper arms, body reshaping expert Dr. Bennett Yang, MD, can change how they look with arm liposuction or by combining it with an arm lift. This surgical procedure is designed to correct sagging arm skin and fat that result from rapid/massive weight loss, or that hasn’t responded to changes in diet and exercise. Arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, is an excellent option for patients with loose skin who cannot tighten or tone their upper arms. Arm reshaping surgery has helped many of Dr. Yang’s patients feel more confident and happy, showing off their upper arms again!
Welcome to our Maryland plastic surgery practice, with Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Bennett C. Yang, MD, and our staff of experienced medical professionals. We are dedicated to your personalized care and make great efforts to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
What Is Arm Lift Surgery (Brachioplasty)?
The reshaping of the upper arm by skin and fat removal is known as an arm lift (brachioplasty). This surgical procedure can tighten and reduce sagging skin on the underside of the arm, as well as remove excess fat. Commonly referred to as the “batwing” surgery, this procedure is often performed after significant weight loss. Losing weight is a great accomplishment; unfortunately, it also frequently leaves loose hanging skin that doesn’t fully tighten up. No amount of exercise, skin creams, or lasers will tighten the skin the way surgery does.
If your arm skin hangs down when you lift your arms by your sides, it can be stubborn and stay even after weight loss. Considering an arm lift usually involves a combination of liposuction and excision of excess skin.
With age or excessive weight loss, many patients see the skin of their upper arms starting to droop and sag. Even with exercise, the muscles of the upper arm can be improved; however, this will not tighten the loose, excess skin that lacks elasticity. Having an arm lift (brachioplasty) procedure can remove the excess skin and fat, helping your arms appear thinner and more toned.
Arm Lift Surgery After Rapid Weight Loss
When You Should Consider An Arm Lift After Weight Loss
Losing a large amount of weight is a wonderful achievement, transforming not just your body but also your health, energy levels, and overall quality of life. Unfortunately, for many patients, significant weight loss comes with a set of challenges, including stubborn pockets of remaining fat and loose, sagging skin that doesn’t conform to the body’s new shape. One area where this often becomes most noticeable is the upper arms.
When your body carries extra weight for many years, your skin has to stretch to support the gain. After rapid weight loss, the skin may not fully contract or “snap back” due to its reduced elasticity in many areas, including your upper arms.
Generally, This Looks Like:
Hanging or sagging skin, extending from your underarm to your elbow
Chafing or skin irritation in the folds of your skin
Experiencing difficulty finding clothing that fit you comfortably
Lack of confidence and reluctance to wear sleeveless blouses or shirts
While arm, chest, and back exercises can build your muscle tone, they can’t shrink, tighten, or remove excess skin. That’s where surgical solutions like an arm lift are something you should consider.
What Is Upper Arm Liposuction?
Arm liposuction is a popular option for patients who want to reduce the fat deposits in their upper arms. Dr. Bennett C. Yang will use a cannula to remove and suction out the excess fat cells from your upper arms, contouring them into a slimmer, more attractive shape.
Arm liposuction—more often called lipo—provides a good solution to remove stubborn fat that doesn’t go away with diet or exercise. Just remember, liposuction is not a weight loss solution.
Experience The Benefits Of Arm Liposuction
Arm liposuction can have many advantages. This procedure creates minimal scarring, and has a quicker recovery time. Another benefit of arm liposuction is how effective it is for fat removal, helping redefine the shape of your arms. The results are often dramatic, and help to improve your self-confidence.

My niece recommended Dr. Yang to me when I was looking for someone to preform my breast reduction. He had been her doctor in the past and said he was excellent. She was absolutely correct. Dr. Yang is professional and caring. He explained the procedure and told me what to expect after it was completed. I felt valued as a patient. I received excellent care and my surgery was very successful. I have been very pleased with the results. His staff is also friendly and welcoming. This is truly a top-notched care facility. I highly recommend Dr. Bennett Yang to anyone seeking plastic surgery.

Greetings!
On May 23, 2022 I had a lipo/ BBL, and a breast augmentation. From the beginning, I found Dr. Yang to be very honest. He’s definitely not the type of Dr. that’s going to tell you what you want to hear, he’s going to tell you the absolute truth. I am thoroughly pleased with my results. The professionalism from everyone starting with Bonnie to the receptionists, and staff were outstanding. Looking forward to getting more done soon. You can’t go wrong with Dr. Yang!!!!
