Arm Lift Services in Newport Beach, CA – Sculpt Your Arms with Dr. Paris Sabo
If you’re frustrated by excess skin or sagging in your upper arms, you’re not alone. Many people experience this after significant weight loss, aging, or as a result of genetics. Fortunately, an arm lift—also known as brachioplasty—can help you achieve smoother, more toned arms that complement your overall physique. At Dr. Paris Sabo’s practice in Newport Beach, CA, we specialize in personalized arm lift procedures designed to remove excess skin and fat, restoring a youthful and firm appearance.
What Is an Arm Lift?
An arm lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes loose, sagging skin from the upper arms, commonly referred to as “bat wings.” The surgery involves tightening the skin and reshaping the underlying tissue to create smoother, more contoured arms. For individuals who have experienced dramatic weight loss or aging, an arm lift can restore confidence by addressing excess skin that diet and exercise alone cannot fix.
At Dr. Paris Sabo’s Newport Beach practice, we provide customized arm lift procedures tailored to your body’s unique needs, helping you achieve natural-looking, toned results.

- Comprehensive Discussion: Dr. Sabo will discuss your reasons for seeking an arm lift, your aesthetic goals, and any concerns you may have about the procedure.

Arm Lift Surgical Procedure: What to Expect
An arm lift is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes between 2 to 3 hours depending on the complexity of the procedure. The goal is to remove excess skin and fat while ensuring smooth, balanced results. Here’s what you can expect during surgery:
- Incision Placement: The incision for an arm lift is usually made along the inside or back of the arm, extending from the armpit to the elbow. Dr. Sabo carefully places the incision to minimize visible scarring and ensure optimal results.
- Fat Removal (Optional): If necessary, liposuction is used to remove excess fat from the upper arms before the skin is tightened.
- Tightening and Reshaping: Dr. Sabo will then tighten and reshape the underlying tissue to create a firmer, more toned contour. The excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is draped smoothly over the newly contoured arm.
- Closing the Incisions: Once the desired shape is achieved, Dr. Sabo will close the incisions with sutures, ensuring minimal scarring and a successful recovery.
Recovery Process After Arm Lift Surgery
The recovery process after an arm lift is relatively straightforward, but it’s important to give your body the time it needs to heal. Here’s a general timeline of what you can expect:
- First 1-2 Weeks: Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common during the first week. Dr. Sabo will provide you with compression garments to help reduce swelling and support your arms as they heal. You’ll need to avoid any strenuous activities during this time.
- 2-3 Weeks: Most patients can return to light activities, including work, within 2 to 3 weeks. However, you should continue to avoid heavy lifting or rigorous exercise for several more weeks.
- 4-6 Weeks: By this stage, most of the swelling will have subsided, and you’ll begin to see the results of your arm lift. You can start to ease back into more physical activities, but it’s important to follow Dr. Sabo’s instructions to ensure proper healing.
- 3-6 Months: Final results will be visible, and any scars will continue to fade. With proper care, the results of your arm lift will be long-lasting, giving you smooth, contoured arms that complement your overall figure.
Dr. Sabo and her team will provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions and be available to support you throughout your recovery.
