Arm Lift

Tight, youthful arms for confident appearance.

Arm Lift


Sleeveless dresses, blouses, and tops are particularly popular in summer, but many women hesitate to wear such garments because they feel uncomfortable due to slack or excess skin on their upper arms. With age, the connective tissue loses elasticity, causing the skin on the upper arms to sag, even with regular training. Significant weight reduction can also lead to hanging skin. In many cases, targeted training or special skin creams are not enough to achieve the desired result. Therefore, Dr. Caspari often recommends an arm lift at his clinic in Munich.


In this procedure, the excess skin on the upper arm is removed, so the arms regain a youthful and tight appearance. This allows you to confidently show yourself in sleeveless clothing again. The operation is usually performed under general anesthesia. It is recommended to stay one night in the clinic for observation after the procedure.


After the arm lift, it is important to wear a compression bandage for four weeks. During this time, the swelling will gradually subside, and the scars from the procedure will also fade gradually. Through targeted muscle training, you can further enhance the tightening effect after the operation and optimally shape your upper arms. This way, you can not only feel comfortable in fashion but also present yourself with new confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions about Arm Lift

Here you will find answers to the most important questions about arm lift.

An arm lift is suitable for anyone who is bothered by slack skin on the upper arms. After significant weight loss, excess skin often forms on the upper arms, which can be optimally removed with an arm lift. The natural aging process or genetics can also lead to slack upper arms, which can be optimally treated with an arm lift.
Before an arm lift, you must not take any anticoagulant or blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin, for 14 days.
The duration of the procedure varies depending on the surgical technique used. An arm lift is often combined with liposuction of the upper arms, which means you can expect an approximate pure surgery time of about three hours.
Postoperatively, you will spend about 24 hours in our clinic, where you will be excellently cared for by our expert team.
After an arm lift, you must wear a so-called compression sleeve for about four weeks, which supports the healing process and reduces swelling. To avoid negatively affecting the healing phase, please refrain from sports for about four weeks. The stitches are removed after about two weeks. Any tension or swelling that occurs usually disappears completely on its own after a few days.
After the arm lift, you should rest for about one to two weeks to avoid negatively affecting the healing process. You must wear a compression sleeve for about four weeks. However, you will be socially presentable again after two to three days. You should only resume sports with caution after at least four weeks.
