Arm Lift in Seoul | Grand Plastic Surgery & Cost

What is an Arm Lift?

An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms to restore a more toned and contoured appearance. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight, experienced aging, or have excess sagging skin in the arms that cannot be improved through diet or exercise alone.

At Grand Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, we specialize in personalized arm lift procedures to help you achieve firmer, more youthful-looking arms. Our skilled surgeons use advanced techniques to provide natural-looking, long-lasting results.

Who is a Good Candidate for an Arm Lift?

You may be a good candidate for an arm lift if:
✔ You have excess skin and fat in the upper arms
✔ Your arms have lost volume or firmness due to aging or weight loss
✔ You are in good overall health and have realistic expectations
✔ You are seeking improved contouring and a more toned appearance

A comprehensive consultation at Grand Plastic Surgery will help determine if an arm lift is the best solution for you.

How is an Arm Lift Performed?

1. Consultation & Surgical Planning

• During your consultation, the surgeon will evaluate your arm condition and discuss your goals.
• 3D imaging consultations may be used to visualize potential results.

2. Surgical Approach

• The surgery is performed under general anesthesia to ensure comfort.
• A long incision is made along the inside or back of the upper arm to remove excess skin and fat. The exact location and length of the incision depend on the extent of correction needed.
• The remaining skin is pulled tight, and the incision is closed carefully to minimize scarring.

The procedure typically takes around 2–3 hours and is performed on an outpatient basis.

3. Recovery & Aftercare

• Compression garments are worn to reduce swelling and support the arms during healing.
• Drainage tubes may be used temporarily to prevent fluid buildup.

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery Timeline:

• Swelling & Bruising: 1–2 weeks
• Return to Work/Daily Activities: 1–2 weeks (light activities)
• Exercise & Strenuous Activities: After 4–6 weeks
• Final Results: Visible after 3–6 months as the swelling subsides and the tissues heal

You’ll need to follow post-surgery care instructions closely, including wearing compression garments and attending follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing.
