WHAT IS A UPPER ARM LIFT?
When excess skin
takes over your life.
Skin cannot be trained away.
THE CONCEPT
Significant weight loss, the natural ageing process or genetics can all lead to excess skin on the upper arms. Exercise can strengthen your muscles, but it cannot remove loose skin.
A Upper Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) restores natural proportions and creates firmer, more harmonious upper arms. The goal is not to make your arms as slim as possible, but to achieve balanced contours that complement your body.
Depending on your anatomy, treatment may consist of an Avelar Upper Arm Lift, an Upper Arm Lift combined with liposuction, or an Upper Arm Lift combined with High-Definition Liposuction. The right approach is always determined by your individual anatomy.
THE THREE PRINCIPLES
01
Not every arm needs the same procedure.
Some patients only require an Upper Arm Lift. Others benefit from additional liposuction or High-Definition Liposuction. The goal is never a specific technique—it's achieving the most natural result.
02
Every Upper Arm Lift leaves a scar.
Honesty matters. Every Upper Arm Lift results in a scar. With the Avelar technique, the scar is placed along the inside of the upper arm. From the front, back or side, it is usually not visible during everyday life. It only becomes noticeable when you raise your arm. After healing, it typically fades significantly over time.
03
Technique makes the difference.
I perform every Upper Arm Lift using the Avelar technique. Depending on your anatomy, I may combine it with liposuction or High-Definition Liposuction. The goal is to create firm, harmonious upper arms with a naturally refined appearance.
HOW YOUR
UPPER ARM CONTOURING PLAN IS CREATED
STEP 01
Upper arm analysis
I analyse excess skin, fat distribution, skin quality and your overall body proportions. Only then can a treatment concept be created that truly fits you.
STEP 02
Individual surgical planning
Together, we decide whether an Avelar Upper Arm Lift alone is sufficient or whether additional liposuction or High-Definition Liposuction will achieve the most natural outcome.
STEP 03
Precision in every detail
Every procedure is individually planned to create harmonious contours, position scars as discreetly as possible and achieve a natural, long-lasting result.
YOUR UPPER ARM CONTOURING CONCEPT
UPPER ARM LIFT
Firm. Natural.
The Avelar Upper Arm Lift removes excess skin and restores natural upper arm contours. The scar is placed along the inside of the upper arm and is usually only visible when you raise your arm.
UPPER ARM LIFT + LIPOSUCTION
Tighten and contour.
If excess fat is also present, I combine the Upper Arm Lift with liposuction to create smoother transitions and more balanced upper arm contours.
HIGH-DEFINITION UPPER ARMS
Definition down to the last detail.
For suitable patients, I combine the Upper Arm Lift with High-Definition Liposuction to enhance natural muscle definition while maintaining a refined and natural appearance.
