Many patients aim to lose weight not just for health reasons, but to create more refined contours of their body. Massive weight loss can indeed bring about significant changes to a person’s shape and appearance, but it often leads to sagging and drooping skin as tissues can’t keep up with the rapid reduction of volume beneath.
If you find that your successful dieting efforts, aging, gravity, post-pregnancy life, or other factors are causing your upper arms to look loose and undefined, consider an upper arm lift from the Vancouver area’s Dr. Robyn Watts.
Start your journey to new, slimmer contours with a personalized consultation. Dr. Watts will closely examine your arms, converse with you about your cosmetic goals, and recommend a treatment plan that can include an arm lift to help you achieve the look you want—and deserve! If you have lost significant weight, you should be able to reveal the results of your efforts.

If you are a good arm lift candidate, you probably already know it. Patients who would best benefit from the surgery are those who have loose, sagging skin on the underarms. Other qualities of a good arm lift candidate include being in good health and having a desire to enjoy arms that are more toned and sleek.
Dr. Robyn Watts is a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in breast reconstruction, cosmetic breast surgery, and body contouring. Trained in Canada and the U.S., she leads plastic surgery at Richmond Hospital, practices at Cambie Surgical Centre, teaches at UBC, and is known for meticulous technique, compassion, and natural results.
Dr. Watts’ arm lift surgeries take place at a private surgery center. Patients are put under general anesthesia, after which Dr. Watts makes the incisions that allow her to sculpt new arm contours. These incisions are typically positioned on the inside of the upper arm, where any resulting scars will be less noticeable.
Once the incisions are made, Dr. Watts can reposition internal tissues as necessary, remove any remaining stubborn fat deposits, and pull the upper arm skin flat against the newly sleeker contours. With the skin taut, she then removes the excess and sutures the remaining tissue in place.
Upper arm lift surgery takes about two to three hours to complete. Since you will have been under anesthesia, you will need someone to drive you home from the surgery center. You can leave the same day, as an overnight stay is not necessary.
Once home after an arm lift, plan to rest and recuperate for about two to three weeks as your arms heal. Swelling and bruising will diminish during this time, and you can return to work and other typical activities ready to show off your newly contoured arms.
Sagging on the chest and back—a common problem for people also seeing sagging on their arms—can be addressed with an upper body lift. A breast lift focuses on sagging breasts, and an augmentation and lift includes a size increase along with repositioning and a change in breast shape.
Farther down, a tummy tuck targets sagging skin on the belly, while a lower body lift includes the abdomen and also tightens the flanks, buttocks, and thighs. All of these body surgery options can be combined.
