Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

An arm lift, arm reduction, or Brachioplasty is a surgical procedure by which excess skin and fat are removed from the upper arms. This procedure can help reduce the signs of sagging skin which is associated with extreme weight loss or aging.

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) at Dr. Maresky's practice typically ranges from R65,000 to R85,000, depending on your specific needs and goals. Final pricing is always confirmed during your consultation, once Dr. Maresky has assessed your individual case.

Factors that influence the cost:

• Skin laxity
• Scar placement
• Combined with liposuction

The consultation is an independent clinical assessment. Final costs are confirmed before any treatment is scheduled.

An arm lift surgery can require a long or small incision, depending on the incision and how much skin and fat are removed. Some cases will require a temporary drainage tube which removes excess liquid from the incision site.

The scarring can be quite extensive depending on the surgeons course of action, with the most invasive removal leaving a scar from the armpit right down the upper arm to the elbow. It can take up to nine months before the scars flatten and lighten in colour.
