Dr. Jill Hazen is a board-certified plastic surgeon who restores her patients’ confidence with body contouring procedures. Her arm lift procedures in Princeton, NJ can tighten and tone your arms for a firmer and more attractive appearance.
What is an arm lift?
An arm lift removes the excess, sagging skin that develops from the elbow to the shoulder with age or weight loss. Although consistent exercise can help provide muscle definition in this area, many patients are unable to achieve their desired results with exercise alone. An arm lift, also known as a brachioplasty, can deliver much more toned upper arms that provide better balance with the rest of the body. The appropriate arm lift technique for you will depend on your skin, how severe your condition is, and your specific aesthetic goals, which Dr. Hazen can determine during your consultation.
How do arm lift procedures work?
During an arm lift, the excess skin between the underarm and elbow is removed for a taut, firm appearance that adds definition to the arms.
When used in conjunction with liposuction, patients can also reduce unwanted fat in this stubborn area for even better results.
Arm lift procedures work by creating an incision underneath the armpit to the elbow. Depending if the patient is getting an arm lift or mini arm lift, this scar may be partially hidden, but scar placement can be discussed during a consultation. Once the excess fat and skin are removed, patients will see a noticeably firmer and tighter appearance.

Arm Lift Surgery FAQ
What areas does an arm lift improve?
An arm lift targets the upper arms, specifically from the elbow to the underarm, removing sagging skin and tightening tissue for a more toned and youthful appearance.
Am I a good candidate for an arm lift?
Ideal candidates are in good overall health, at or near their goal weight, non-smokers, and concerned about loose or hanging skin on the upper arms that has not improved with exercise.
Will an arm lift remove excess fat as well as skin?
Yes. While the primary goal is to remove sagging skin, liposuction can be combined with an arm lift to reduce stubborn fat deposits and further enhance contouring results.
What kind of scars can I expect after surgery?
Incisions usually extend from the armpit to the elbow. Scars are placed in discreet areas when possible and tend to fade significantly over time with proper care. Dr. Hazen will discuss scar placement options during your consultation.
How long is the recovery from arm lift surgery?
Most patients can return to light daily activities within 1–2 weeks, but strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 4–6 weeks. Full results are typically visible once swelling subsides and healing is complete.
How long do the results of an arm lift last?
Results are long-lasting, especially when patients maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Natural aging may affect skin elasticity over time, but most patients enjoy their results for many years.
