Arm Lift in Dubai
Types of Arm Lift Procedures
Dr. Quttainah offers various arm lift techniques tailored to your specific needs and goals
Full Arm Lift (Standard Brachioplasty)
Ideal for moderate to severe skin laxity. Involves a linear incision from the armpit to the elbow (strategically placed along the inner arm). Excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is tightened.
Mini Arm Lift
Suitable for mild skin laxity limited to the upper part of the arm. Requires a shorter incision hidden in the underarm. Less downtime and faster recovery.
Extended Arm Lift
Targets skin that extends beyond the arm — toward the side of the chest. Common in patients after major weight loss.
Arm Liposuction + Lift
Combines fat removal with skin tightening. Ideal for patients with fat and mild to moderate sagging.
Arm Lift vs. Arm Liposuction – What's the Difference?
| Feature | Arm Lift | Arm Liposuction |
|---|---|---|
| Removes fat | Yes (with or without liposuction) | Yes |
| Tightens skin | Yes | No |
| Ideal for | Sagging, loose skin | Good skin tone, excess fat only |
| Scarring | Moderate, well-placed | Minimal |
In many cases, Dr. Quttainah combines both procedures for optimal results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an arm lift (brachioplasty)?
An arm lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms. The goal is to sculpt a smoother, firmer, and more toned arm contour. In many cases, liposuction is also used alongside to enhance results.
Who is a good candidate for an arm lift?
Good candidates are adults in good health with stable weight who have excess arm skin or fat that doesn't respond to exercise. You should have no major medical conditions or smoking habits, realistic expectations about scarring and recovery, and be committed to maintaining results with a healthy lifestyle.
How long does arm lift surgery take?
The procedure typically takes 1.5 to 3 hours depending on the extent of the surgery and whether liposuction is included. It's usually performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia.
What about scarring after arm lift?
Scars are an important consideration. Dr. Quttainah uses meticulous techniques to place incisions in discreet locations (inner arm or armpit), ensure minimal tension for better healing, and offers scar management treatments during recovery. With time, scars fade significantly and become less noticeable.
Can an arm lift be combined with other procedures?
Yes, many patients opt for combination procedures such as tummy tuck, breast lift, thigh lift, or a complete body lift after weight loss. Dr. Quttainah will assess what's safe and appropriate for your individual case.
How much does an arm lift cost in Dubai?
Cost depends on the procedure type (mini vs. full), use of liposuction, and the extent of skin removal. A personalized quote is provided during your consultation with Dr. Quttainah.
