Many people struggle with sagging skin or stubborn fat around the upper arms — often referred to as “bat wings.” Even with exercise and diet, this area can be resistant to change due to age, genetics, or significant weight loss.
At Dr. Fadaei Clinic, we offer advanced arm lift (brachioplasty) and arm liposuction procedures to reshape and contour your arms, restoring confidence and balance to your overall appearance.
An arm lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms to create a smoother, firmer, and more toned contour.
The procedure is ideal for individuals who experience loose or hanging skin — often the result of aging, weight loss, or decreased skin elasticity.
Key goals of an arm lift:
Improve the proportion between arms and upper body
The best procedure depends on your skin quality, the amount of fat, and your overall goals:
| Concern | Recommended Treatment |
| Loose or hanging skin | Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) |
| Excess fat with firm skin | Liposuction |
| Both sagging skin and excess fat | Combination of Arm Lift + Liposuction |
At Dr. Fadaei Clinic, your cosmetic surgeon will evaluate your arms during consultation and recommend the ideal approach for your unique body type.
Both procedures are performed under local or general anesthesia for your comfort.
For Arm Lift:
1. Incisions are made along the inner arm or back of the arm.
2. Excess skin and fat are removed.
3. Tissues are tightened, and the incision is closed with fine sutures.
For Arm Liposuction:
1. Small entry points are created.
2. A cannula is used to gently suction out fat deposits.
3. The area is smoothed and contoured to achieve a natural shape.
Both surgeries usually take 1.5 to 3 hours and are performed as outpatient procedures.
Recovery time varies, but most patients resume light activities within a week.
You may experience mild swelling or bruising, which subsides within a few weeks.
Aftercare guidelines:
• Wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and support healing
• Avoid strenuous activity for 3–4 weeks
• Keep incisions clean and follow your surgeon’s care instructions
• Attend all follow-up visits for best results
Final results become more visible after 6–8 weeks, as swelling fades and the skin adjusts to its new shape.
I am very pleased with the results of my liposuction, BBL, and breast augmentation/lift surgery performed by Dr. Fedayee. I would like to sincerely thank him and his exceptional team.
I had a cheek, forehead and central lip lift surgery at the doctor’s office on March 8, 2024. I can say that after two weeks, his work was a masterpiece. Surgery with Dr. Fadaei was the greatest favor I did for myself. Strong support team. They were available at all times of the day and night. Overall, his ethics and behavior with the patient were the best and I am a thousand times satisfied.
I introduced a patient from England to him. He is very skilled and experienced in facial plastic surgery and my patient is very happy with the results.
