Have you ever wished your arms looked tighter, smoother, or more sculpted? Whether you have stubborn flab that won’t budge or loose skin that prevents you from feeling confident in sleeveless shirts, Dr. Bryan Armijo offers two standout options – arm lift surgery and liposuction. But what’s the difference, and which one should you choose?
Comparing Brachioplasty and Arm Liposuction
An arm lift, also known as a brachioplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to reshape and tighten loose skin along the upper arms. It’s especially beneficial if you’ve lost significant weight or have skin laxity due to aging or genetics. During this procedure, Dr. Armijo places strategic incisions along the inner or back sides of the arms, removing unwanted tissue and recontouring what remains for a smoother, firmer appearance.
Arm liposuction is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits from the upper arms, creating a slimmer, more sculpted appearance. It’s especially popular among people who feel their arms look bulky or lack definition due to diet- and exercise-resistant fat. Arm liposuction involves suctioning out unwanted fat cells through a thin tube called a cannula. While this procedure permanently removes fat, it cannot remove or tighten loose skin. That makes it best for younger patients who still have firm, elastic skin.
Benefits of Each Procedure
Removing excess skin and fat from the upper arms will result in a smoother, firmer, and more proportionate contour. Once you eliminate sagging skin, muscle definition becomes more visible – perfect for showing off the results of all your biceps curls and triceps kickbacks. Many people say their clothing fits better post-procedure, with sleeves that feel less restrictive and more flattering.
Beyond aesthetics, arm lifts can improve mobility by eliminating skin that restricts movement or causes discomfort during exercise. Patients also report reduced skin irritation from the removal of folds that trap sweat and cause chafing or rashes. Hygiene improves, too, making it easier to clean and dry your underarm area and reducing the risk of bacterial buildup.
Arm liposuction targets stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. Removing deep and superficial fat layers enhances arm contour and reveals natural muscle definition for a leaner, more athletic look. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically offers a quicker recovery than more intense options.
One advantage is that liposuction permanently removes fat cells, so you can enjoy long-lasting results by maintaining a stable weight. Patients often feel free to wear expanded wardrobe options like sleeveless tops, fitted sleeves, and swimwear. Liposuction also lightens the physical load, making movement easier and exercise more comfortable.
