Loose, sagging skin at the top of the arms is caused by a combination of factors such as aging, dramatic weight loss, genetic predisposition and the inevitable decline in skin elasticity. While for many, working out will help tone the muscle underneath, there are no exercises that will take away stretched skin from where you have lost the ability to tighten. This causes an unsightly bat wing effect that not only limits what clothes you can wear, but also how you feel about yourself. At Vow Clinic Dubai, our experienced surgeons perform Arm Lift Surgery which removes loose skin and gives your upper arms a smoother, toner look. We aim to achieve smooth, well defined contours of the upper arms that compliment your body shape.
What Is Arm Lift Surgery?
Arm Lift Surgery also referred to as brachioplasty, is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arm, and re shapes and tightens the skin around the upper arm. It is performed for people who have significant weight loss, age related skin laxity or loose skin that does not respond to diet and exercise.
While the surgery is performed, skin is gently trimmed away, tissues tightened and the arm reshaped to provide a more youthful and smooth look. Liposuction can sometimes be used in conjunction with the brachioplasty to eliminate those hard fat pockets and to help even more define the contours of the arm.
For those who want a toned and sculpted look with a significant loss of skin elasticity, Arm Lift Surgery offers permanent results.
Who Is A Good Candidate For Arm Lift Surgery?
You may be suitable for arm lift surgery if you have:
- The loss of substantial amounts of body weight causing loose skin

At Vow Clinic Dubai, your skin condition is always evaluated prior to any treatments.
What Causes Loose Skin On The Arms?
The skin on the arms loses firmness as a result of several natural causes:
- Aging – decrease in collagen production
- Weight loss – causes skin to stretch and lose its strength
- Genetics – the elasticity of skin that is passed down from parents
- Sun damage – the result of the breakdown of collagen due to UV exposure
- A decrease in collagen – the skin’s natural support decreases over time
