Arm lift treatment overview
An Arm Lift or brachioplasty is an operation to treat loose skin and remove excess fat on the upper arms. An Arm Lift smooths and tightens the skin on the upper arms, improving your appearance and body confidence.
Bella Vou offers a bespoke service to ensure you achieve the very best results. Vaser Liposculpture and Renuvion skin tightening or Body Tite can also reduce fat and improve the contour and appearance of the arms. The experienced plastic surgeons will make a careful assessment of your arms and discuss the results you hope to achieve. They will then recommend an individual treatment plan that will ensure you get the cosmetic result you want.
The scar can vary depending on the extent of loose skin and excess fat under the skin of the upper arm. It starts from the axilla towards the elbow on the inner arm.

YOUR SIMPLE
5 STEP
JOURNEY
YOUR SIMPLE 5 STEP JOURNEY
Step 1. Free, no-obligation consultation
Bella Vou offers every client a free consultation with an expert, accredited cosmetic surgeon with no obligation to proceed to treatment. The consultation is an opportunity to discuss any concerns you have with your skin and your appearance, the results you want to achieve, and whether Arm Lift surgery can help you reach those goals.
Bella Vou also offers innovative, new techniques for treating loose skin and excess fatty tissue. The experienced plastic surgeons can advise on whether Vaser liposculpture, together with either Renuvion skin tightening or surgery to remove excess skin, may provide smaller scars, quicker recovery, and a better cosmetic result.
Bella Vou will always give you an honest and impartial professional opinion. Mr Amir Nakhdjevani says:
‘We make sure that we advise people correctly about whether surgery is right for them. We treat everyone as if they were our family. We might turn people away, suggest alternative treatments, or we may suggest that they go to a different specialist at another establishment. If someone is uncertain about an operation, we're happy to see them several times, without a consultation charge. At Bella Vou, we never pressurise people or try to sell procedures. It's always about giving an honest opinion and honest advice.’
Step 2. Meet your surgeon
You will be offered an appointment to meet your surgeon again before proceeding to surgery. This will give you a chance to find out more about the procedure, your recovery, and to ask any questions you may have. The consultant will talk you through the Arm Lift operation and take time to address all your concerns.
Step 3. Preparation for Arm Lift surgery
Preparation for your surgery can reduce the risk of infection and improve your recovery.
Shower daily and stop smoking cigarettes and e-cigarettes to help prevent complications and problems with healing. If you have a general anaesthetic, you will be given individual advice on fasting before the procedure.
On the day of your Arm Lift, you’ll be personally welcomed to Bella Vou, given a gown to wear and escorted to the state-of-the-art operating theatre.
Step 4. What happens during Arm Lift surgery
After carefully cleansing the skin, the surgeon makes an incision on the inside of the arm. The length of this depends on the severity of skin laxity and the amount of skin to be removed. For people with extensive excess skin, the scar may extend from the armpit to just above the elbow.
The surgeon carefully excises all the excess skin and fatty tissue, before pulling the skin tightly over the arms, and stitching the skin and soft tissues closed. The sutures are hidden under the skin, absorbable and do not need to be removed.
After the operation, dressings are applied to the wound, and the arms are bandaged to reduce swelling and bruising.
Step 5. Recovery from an Arm Lift
After the procedure, there are no drains or drips. You will be able to go home on the same day. It’s important to arrange a friend or family member to pick you up and escort you home.
One of the Bella Vou team will give you a call the day after surgery to make sure you're well, have had a good night, and to answer any questions. You will be given an individual post-operative rehabilitation plan; it's essential to follow this carefully to help your healthy recovery.
Some arm swelling and bruising are normal. You will be given a specially-designed pressure garment, this helps to reduce the post-surgery swelling and should be worn day and night. It is also important to keep your arm in a high arm sling and mobilise your hand regularly, to help reduce fluid build-up.
The staff at Bella Vou will carefully monitor your recovery. After one week, the nurse and wound care specialist will check your scar. At around six weeks, your surgeon will check your progress, and at six months, the nurse and wound care specialist will see you again to ensure that you remain healthy, well, and happy with your results. If you have any questions or concerns, the staff are always on hand to offer support and guidance.

I have had bingo wings for as long as I can remember, no amount of weight loss made a difference, and so I worn tops/dresses always with sleeves to cover them up, they wobbled… YUK! I then got made redundant and paid off and found myself in a position with the money and time to do something about them. I met Amir and the team at Bella Vou and decided to book the surgery… Amir came to see me before surgery, went through the procedure again and drew on all the fat on my arms, so he could remove it 🙂 I left at lunchtime the following day, again having seen Amir to ensure he was happy and he told me the surgery went perfectly. Practically you will need help back at home for a few days, my mum came and cooked/cleaned etc as my arms were aching and my stretch was limited (i.e. reaching high or putting some clothes on). It’s now been 11 days since the op… The stretch is still limited but getting better every day, my arms no longer wobble, they are firm and slim, cant wait to see them a few more weeks down the line.

… I would often wear clothes that just covered my arms completely and feel uncomfortable becoming hot. my self esteem through the floor. Now the chance presented itself to me in meeting Mr Amir Nakhdjevani a cosmetic surgeon at Bella Vou , a man that said the operation would take approx. 2.45Hrs and reduce the tops of my arms significantly and make me feel better about myself, He is very confident and well practised in many different operations, The way he spoke was just the medicine in convincing me in taken the chance for future happiness and I could look forward to feeling great wearing new clothes etc……. His team of staff are all very very nice professional polite people who all showed empathy and understanding to me and I can say other patients I met whilst at appointments prior to my operation. they all made me feel confident with the choice I was to make and on the 21st June this year my operation went ahead, it did take as long as expected and yes there was/is pain that was/is easily managed with medication and as time has gone by the pain is slowly disappearing and the scar’s getting lighter… Thank you Thank You very much to the Bella Vou Team for everything I am so grateful.

From the moment I met Amir at the initial consultation I knew that this was a surgeon who I could trust to do the best for me. On the day of my procedure I was given the highest level of care from every member of staff at Bella Vou. I am extremely pleased with the results and although attending Bella Vou means a 1000 mile round trip for me I would not consider going anywhere else.

Thank You very much to the Bella Vou Team for everything I am so grateful. I am really excited about the future and am most grateful to Bella Vou for a great job. I have already experimented with the shops and found a big smile on my face when trying outfits on for my daughter’s wedding!

If you are looking for a surgeon that cares and goes above and beyond Amir is the surgeon for you. I knew from the moment that I spoke to Amir he was the guy I wanted to do my surgeries. After losing 29 stone, the damage I had caused to my body needed some serious help. Amir was highly professional, confident, reassured me, and knew his stuff. He really did deliver… his team are amazing, and the new facilities are beautiful! I had a fleur de lis tummy tuck, arm lift, breast augmentation, implants, and a lower body lift. And will be getting a thigh lift. The aftercare is outstanding. And what I have had done I’m beyond happy with.

Excellent, there are no hidden extras in the price, all garments, medication and checkups are included. The clinic is lovely, located in The Pantiles area of Tunbridge Wells and a short walk from many hotels. I have had two separate procedures with Amir, extensive liposuction and an arm lift. The staff are all lovely, I was well looked after from start to finish, Amir clearly explained what would happen and my likely results. The clinic has a good clear revision policy…

Amir was welcoming, warm & very informative throughout my experience. Amir explained my options & covered the risks involved. I am only a couple of weeks into my recovery & I am learning to be patient & adhere to all the instructions & advice. Already I can see that this procedure will be life changing as the results even after this small amount of time are amazing.

I have had three different procedures in the past seven years with Amir Nakhdjevani at Bella Vou, the latest being a bilateral brachioplasty (arm lift). To say I am thrilled with the results is an understatement! I am only three months into my recovery but the difference to my physical appearance and emotional well-being is huge. The whole team at Bella Vou is amazing: professional, friendly, kind and considerate. The clinic is beautifully appointed. My procedure necessitated a general anaesthetic about which I was somewhat concerned, having never had one before. I cannot praise the surgical/nursing team enough; I was very well cared for and felt completely safe. I have recommended Amir and his consummate surgical skill and artistry to a number of my friends. I believe him to be the best there is!

Over a period of 7 years I gained 5 stone. I have lost half that weight through sensible diet and a lot of exercise, but it left me with such bad bat wings that I felt I could never reveal my arms to anyone ever again. I would swelter through summer rather than wear anything sleeveless. I stopped playing tennis, my favourite sport, and I gave up looking for a new partner. Then I was told about Amir Nakhdjevani at Bella Vou. The first thing that impressed me was that the initial consultation was free. Others wanted between £150 and £250 to decide whether I was a suitable case… The initial onboarding procedure was discreet, efficient, informative and sympathetic. I never once had doubts or fears about my decision. The payment plan has made all the difference. The surgery day itself was a joy. Friends said I was brave; I felt empowered and excited. I even felt relaxed enough to joke with the gorgeous staff and Ali, the anaesthetist. The pain was minimal and I was sent home with drinks, a sandwich, medical supplies, some delicious goodies from The White Company and all the reassurance I needed. I could eulogise indefinitely, but I now simply want to thank this extraordinary team for releasing me from the chrysalis I was confined by and giving me the wings to fly. Thank you, Amir and Team Bella Vou. Alison
