An arm lift is designed to remove excess skin, improve upper arm contour, and create a firmer, more refined arm shape.
In many cases, arm lift planning is combined with VASER liposuction to improve contour more completely, especially when there is both skin laxity and excess fat. ASPS describes brachioplasty as a procedure that reduces excess sagging skin, tightens and smoothes the underlying supportive tissue, and reduces localized fat in the upper arm region.

An arm lift, also called brachioplasty, is surgery designed to remove excess skin and improve the contour of the upper arms.
For many patients, treatment is not only about skin removal. It is also about improving the shape of the arm more completely, which is why arm lift is often combined with VASER liposuction when fat reduction and contouring are also needed.
The right plan depends on the degree of skin laxity, the amount of excess tissue, arm shape, skin quality, and how much contour change is needed.
Approx. 7–10 days including surgery date
The scar is usually placed along the inner arm or a less visible part of the upper arm, depending on the surgical plan.
119,000 THB (~ 3,600 USD)
Patients with upper arm skin laxity are mainly limited to the upper arm itself.
The scar extends further than a standard arm lift to address a wider area of skin excess.
From surgical review
Patients with more significant skin laxity or a broader area of excess tissue after weight loss or more advanced tissue stretching.
| Type | Main Area Treated | Scar Pattern | Best For | Starting Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arm Lift | Upper arm | Scar along the inner or less visible area of the upper arm | Skin laxity mainly limited to the upper arm | 119,000 THB (~ 3,600 USD) |
| Extended Arm Lift | Upper arm plus a broader adjacent area | Longer scar extending further beyond the arm | More significant or more extensive skin excess | From surgical review |
An arm lift removes excess skin, but it does not contour every surrounding area on its own.
That is why many patients benefit from VASER liposuction as part of the overall plan, especially when the arm has both skin laxity and excess fat.
A surgeon-led case review explaining anatomy, technique choice, and realistic expectations.
Your case is reviewed by the surgeon who performs your procedure, with planning based on your anatomy, skin excess, contour goals, recovery period, and medical suitability.
Arm lift surgery is performed in a private hospital in Bangkok, Thailand, with anaesthesia care and post-operative monitoring built into the process.
Swelling, tightness, bruising, and discomfort are common in the early stage. The most swelling tends to peak in the first two to three days and often subsides within about two weeks.
Early healing is reviewed, and many patients begin to feel more comfortable.
Swelling may still affect arm contour, and compression is usually still part of recovery.
A compression garment or sleeve is usually worn during early recovery to help minimise swelling. Compression garments are commonly used after brachioplasty.
The arm contour usually begins to look more refined over time, while scars continue to mature much longer.
Arm lift surgery can create meaningful improvement in upper arm shape, but it is still real surgery.
Arm lift pricing on this page starts from 119,000 THB (~ 3,600 USD). Final pricing depends on whether the plan involves a standard arm lift, an extended arm lift, and whether additional contouring is included.
A standard arm lift usually treats the upper arm itself, while an extended arm lift is designed for more extensive skin laxity that continues beyond the arm into a broader adjacent area.
Very often, yes. Liposuction helps contour surrounding fat while arm lift addresses excess skin and improves shape.
Yes. An arm lift creates scars, but the scar placement depends on the extent of surgery and is planned carefully to balance contour improvement with scar position.
A compression garment is commonly worn during early recovery to help minimise swelling, but the exact duration depends on the extent of surgery and your healing. Compression garments are part of typical brachioplasty recovery.
