Arm Lift
in Scottsdale

Brachioplasty addresses the loose, hanging skin along the underside of the upper arm — sometimes called “bat wings.” Dr. Mata removes the excess skin and, where needed, the underlying fat, then re-drapes the remaining skin to a tighter contour from the elbow to the armpit.

For patients with good skin tone but stubborn fat, liposuction alone may be enough. For those with significant skin laxity — especially after weight loss — skin excision is the only way to achieve a lasting result, because skin that has lost its elasticity will not retract on its own.

Mini Arm Lift — A short incision hidden in the armpit, for patients with mild laxity concentrated near the upper arm.

Full Brachioplasty — An incision running from the armpit to the elbow along the inner arm, for significant skin excess. The scar is positioned to sit on the inner arm where it is least visible.

Extended Arm Lift — Extends onto the side of the chest for patients after massive weight loss with skin laxity beyond the arm itself.

Liposuction-Assisted — Liposuction combined with skin tightening for a refined, sculpted contour where both fat and modest skin excess are present.

Anesthesia — Performed under general anesthesia in our accredited in-house Scottsdale surgical suite.

Incision — Placed along the inner arm where it is least conspicuous; length is matched to the amount of skin removed.

Contouring — Excess skin is excised and any localized fat addressed with liposuction. The remaining skin is smoothed and tightened.

Closure — Layered, tension-distributing sutures close the incision to support healing and a fine final scar.
