Understanding arm lift (brachioplasty) surgery
An arm lift surgery is a cosmetic surgery to reshape and contour the upper arms, typically from the underarm to the elbow. It involves removing excess fat and skin caused by aging, significant weight loss, or genetic factors.
While strength training and exercise can build muscle and improve tone, they cannot address loose, sagging skin. This laxity is usually caused by weakened tissues that have lost their elasticity—something only surgery can correct.
Common reasons to consider an arm lift in Dubai:
- Loose, hanging skin on the upper arms ("bat wings")
- Post-weight loss sagging skin that hasn't tightened with exercise
- Skin irritation or chafing caused by excess skin rubbing against clothing or other skin

Arm lift surgery Dubai – The complete procedure with Dr. Sherif Hantash
Here’s a simplified breakdown of what your brachioplasty surgery journey with Dr. Sherif might look like:
1. Consultation & planning
During your initial consultation, Dr. Sherif will assess the skin and tissue on your upper arms, review your medical history, and have a discussion about your aesthetic goals and concerns.
He will determine if you’re a suitable candidate and customize a surgical plan tailored to your body shape and desired outcome.
2. The procedure
Arm lift in Dubai is typically performed under general anesthesia, ensuring you remain comfortable and are pain-free throughout the procedure.
Dr. Sherif will begin by making incisions along the underside of your upper arms. The length and position of these incisions will be based on the extent of excess skin and tissue that needs to be removed.
Through these incisions, he will:
- Tighten and reshape the underlying tissues
- Use internal sutures to support the new arm contours
- In some cases, liposuction may be used to remove stubborn fat deposits for enhanced definition
Once the new shape is achieved, the skin will be draped smoothly over the improved contours, and any excess skin will be carefully removed. The incisions are then closed with either sutures or surgical tape.
3. Recovery period
Recovering from an arm lift typically takes 1 to 2 weeks of dedicated rest, though complete healing may take several weeks.
Dr. Sherif will provide you with detailed and personalized instructions tailored to your specific case, and it’s important to follow them closely to ensure a smooth and safe recovery:
- Keep your arms elevated—especially in the first few days—to help reduce swelling.
- Avoid lifting your arms above shoulder level.
- Refrain from strenuous activities and upper body workouts for 4–8 weeks.
- Follow a healthy protein-rich diet and stay hydrated to support tissue repair.
- Monitor your incisions daily—report any increased redness, swelling, or unusual drainage to Dr. Sherif right away.
- Sleep on your back with pillows propping up your arms to stay comfortable.
- Avoid smoking and alcohol during recovery.
4. Visible results
Some initial improvements in arm contour are visible immediately after surgery, but final results become more apparent once swelling subsides, typically around six weeks post-procedure.
The best part is that the results of the arm lift are permanent. Once the excess skin and tissues are removed, the patient’s upper arms stay nicely contoured for many years.
