The arm lift procedure is a cosmetic surgery that decreases the amount of extra skin on the upper arms.

This procedure can either be done in the office or at the hospital, and usually lasts 1-2 hours. While sedated, your surgeon will make an incision from your underarm to your elbow.

After removing the excess skin, the supportive tissues inside the arm will be tightened using internal stitches to get a smooth appearance.

Some of the common side effects include bruising, swelling, and unfavorable scarring.
