The Patient's Goals
As a 65-year-old active individual from the USA, the patient presented with significant brachial ptosis (sagging upper arm skin) and localized fat deposits. She expressed frustration with “bat wings” that made her feel “weighted down” and limited her clothing choices. Her primary goal was to achieve a leaner, more toned profile that reflected her internal energy, while ensuring the results remained natural and functional.
Surgeon's Expert Approach
To address the extensive skin laxity visible in the arm lift before and after documentation, a Brachioplasty (Full Arm Lift) was performed.
- Surgical Technique: A precise longitudinal incision was made along the inner arm to allow for significant tissue resection. This approach targets the excess skin and fat from the axilla (armpit) to the elbow.
- Contouring: Vaser Liposuction was utilized as an adjunct to refine the subcutaneous fat layer, ensuring a smooth transition between the shoulder and the forearm.
- AKM Recovery Protocol: To ensure optimal healing of the arm lift scars, the patient underwent our signature post-operative regimen, including Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) to oxygenate tissues and accelerate cellular repair.
Results & Visual Analysis
The brachioplasty arm lift before and after images reveal a profound structural reset:
- Elimination of Skin Laxity: The “Before” images show heavy, drooping skin that obscured the triceps definition. The “After” state demonstrates a firm, taut contour.
- Refined Silhouette: The arm now follows a linear, athletic trajectory from the shoulder to the elbow, removing the “weighted” appearance in the posterior arm region.
- Incision Placement: While a short scar arm lift or mini arm lift was insufficient for this level of correction, the full incision is strategically placed on the innermost part of the arm to remain as discreet as possible during natural movement.

Had a deep plane facelift and lower eyelid procedure at AKM Clinic 7 months ago. The results are fantastic - very subtle and natural. I didn’t expect the entire experience to be so comfortable. Hande managed everything and kept in contact even after I returned to USA. I’m beyond pleased with the outcome and the care I received. Would do it again in a heartbeat!
