What is an Arm Lift?
An arm lift (brachioplasty) removes excess sagging skin and fat from the upper arms, tightening and reshaping the area between the elbow and armpit. It is most often sought after major weight loss or with age-related skin laxity, when loose skin no longer responds to exercise.
Surgery is done under general anesthesia and takes 1 to 3 hours, leaving a scar along the inner or back of the arm. Expect swelling and limited arm use for 1 to 2 weeks, compression sleeves for several weeks, and final results over a few months as scars mature.
The trade-off for tighter arms is a scar, so candidacy and scar placement are important discussions. A board-certified plastic surgeon performs it, sometimes combined with liposuction.
How much does an Arm Lift cost in Boston?
An arm lift in Boston typically starts at $6,000 and ranges up to $9,600 all-in, depending on the extent of skin removal and whether liposuction is added.

What to ask your provider
- Am I a good candidate, and is my weight stable enough for surgery?
- Where will the scar be and how visible will it be?
- Would liposuction alone work, or do I need skin removed?
- Are you board-certified and can I see your own before-and-after photos?
- What does the quote include — surgeon fee, anesthesia, and facility?
- What is recovery like and when can I use my arms normally?
Frequently asked questions
How much does an arm lift cost in Boston?
An arm lift in Boston typically starts at $6,000 and ranges up to $9,600 all-in. Adding liposuction or treating significant excess skin raises the cost. The quote should include surgeon fee, anesthesia, and facility.
Does an arm lift leave a scar?
Yes. Removing excess skin requires an incision, usually along the inner or back of the upper arm, leaving a scar that fades over months but remains visible. For limited fat without much loose skin, liposuction alone may avoid a long scar.
How long is recovery after an arm lift?
Expect swelling and limited arm use for 1 to 2 weeks, with compression sleeves worn for several weeks. Most people return to desk work within about 1 to 2 weeks and resume full activity over a month or two.
Arm lift vs liposuction — which do I need?
If your concern is mainly excess fat with good skin elasticity, liposuction may be enough. If you have loose, hanging skin — common after weight loss — an arm lift to remove skin is needed. Your surgeon will assess your skin quality.
