Do you feel your arms have loose, sagging skin? Are you anxious about wearing sleeveless clothes? Pregnancy, ageing, and weight loss can cause loose skin in the upper arms. Arm lift surgery in Mumbai is rapidly becoming popular to get a smooth, firmer and lifted arm presence. In contemporary times, exercise is not enough to help us have a toned body, especially in cities like Mumbai, where stress is a common factor in weight gain and ageing.
Mumbai’s top plastic and cosmetic surgeon, Dr Parag Telang, in his 20+ years of practice based in reputed hospitals in Mumbai, has made it easier for people to have a well-defined body figure, even if exercise and workout don’t respond.

Arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, is an outpatient procedure (OPD) that targets unwanted fat and loose skin in the upper arms (bat wings), between the armpit and elbow. It helps tone the upper arm muscles while also offering elegant arms. In cases where arm fat doesn’t go easily, arm lift surgery proves to be highly beneficial.
Arm lift surgery (brachioplasty) is performed under general anesthesia. A surgeon performs surgery by making an incision in the back or inside area of the arm to remove excess skin and tighten the tissues.
