What is an Arm Lift?
You’ve probably seen the “bat wings”, or sagging upper arms on one of the older members of your family. While many patients attribute their unattractive, sagging upper arms to fat, that’s usually not the case since it’s typically due to loose skin. There are many reasons for the skin to sag, including weight loss, genetics, and age.
At Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates, we offer long-lasting solutions to sagging upper arms with an arm lift in Oklahoma City. An arm lift trims away the excess skin, tissue, and fat to make the arms seem taught, tight, and toned.

What To Expect From an Arm Lift
01
Consultation
We begin your experience at CSA with a one-on-one consultation. Your surgeon will listen to you while you talk about your goals for your body and ask questions to make sure they truly understand your vision. Together, you’ll discuss both your surgical and nonsurgical options, finding the best treatment for your goals.
02
Anesthesia
When you and your surgeon have decided that an arm lift in Oklahoma City is right for you, they talk about what you can expect before your surgery, treatment, and after surgery. We use general anesthetic for arm lifts, so your surgeon will also explain that process and what you can expect, making sure to answer any questions along the way.
03
Procedure
Your surgeon begins by making an incision along the inside of your upper arm. The length of the incision varies depending on how much skin and fat are to be removed. At this time, we trim excess skin and tighten the underlying muscles. In some patients, the armpit will also need to be addressed and surgically tightened.
04
Recovery
After surgery, we protect your arms with a compression garment and drain tubes may be present to avoid the risk of infection. Your surgeon will review your aftercare instructions with you once again before helping you schedule your follow-up appointment. They make sure you have all the tools and resources you need to heal safely at home.

Arm Lift FAQs
After an arm lift procedure, some patients experience a feeling of tightness in the upper arm as the area swells resulting from the surgery. Another common side effect that patients report is tingling of the hands and this, as well as other symptoms, resolve relatively quickly with time.
Yes, there will be scars after your arm lift in Oklahoma City, but they will be strategically placed in the natural contours of the arms. The removal of the excess skin will greatly improve the appearance and this will be evident immediately after the surgery. While scars are part of the process, they generally fade overtime and are not super noticeable.
