At Chapin Aesthetics, arm lift surgery is about more than tightening skin; it’s about restoring comfort, balance, and confidence in how you move and feel every day.
Despite an active lifestyle and healthy diet, it is not uncommon for people to experience loose, sagging skin anywhere on the body, including the underside of the upper arms. Often, the natural aging process, weight loss, and genetics can cause skin to lose elasticity and lead to sagging skin. Dr. Scott D. Chapin can drastically enhance the contour of the upper arms that do not respond to diet and exercise with an arm lift. This is medically known as brachioplasty.
This procedure can eliminate excess skin and fat from the undersurface of the arms to restore a tighter, firmer, and sleeker arm contour.

Dr. Chapin is an expert in a variety of body contouring procedures that eliminate sagging, excess skin, and he will provide a customized plan to attain your aesthetic goals. It is not uncommon for an arm lift to be performed in conjunction with other body contouring procedures, such as a buttock lift, thigh lift, and abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck. Patients often elect liposuction to be performed in combination with one or more body contouring procedures to help achieve the figure they have always imagined. Although an arm lift procedure requires an incision in the targeted area, Dr. Chapin strategically places the incision in a discreet location that is easily concealed by clothing or the body’s natural shape.
Excess skin, fat, and tissue are removed from the targeted areas to restore a flatter, tighter figure. Next, liposuction will be performed if it has been elected by the patient to eliminate any stubborn fat deposits. Dr. Chapin will repair any underlying musculature that may be damaged by utilizing internal sutures. The remaining skin is then pulled taut and realigned as needed before closing the incisions with sutures and applying the final dressings.
