Loose skin and stubborn fat on the upper arms often will not shift with diet or exercise. Dr Braham Ouali removes both in one operation, using Vaser liposuction and skin excision, under local anaesthetic.
Leave your details and the clinic will call you to arrange a free video consultation. He will look at your arms, explain what he would do and give you your exact price.
Results
Arm liposuction, before and after. Results vary from person to person and cannot be guaranteed.

Patients
“I had a small amount of Vaser liposuction under my chin. Quick, painless surgery. I’m very happy and will be going back for additional procedures.”
“Many thanks for the good job you have done. I also appreciated the relaxed manner which put me at ease.”
“I had three moles removed from my back by Dr Ouali, it was a good painless experience and I’m happy with the result as the scars faded away nicely.”
Is this you?
An arm lift, or brachioplasty, reshapes the upper arms by removing excess fat with liposuction and cutting away loose, stretched skin. These are the reasons people usually come to us.
You need to be over 18, in good general health and at a stable weight. Not everyone who asks is a suitable candidate, and we will tell you straight if you are not.
Cost
The package price for arm lift surgery starts from £2,950, which includes the initial consultation, surgery and follow-up after surgery. The price you are quoted at consultation is the price you pay.
What happens
It starts with a free video call with the surgeon, not a form-filling appointment with a consultant who does not operate.
A video call with Dr Ouali. He looks at your arms, explains whether you need liposuction, skin removal or both, covers the risks, and gives you your price.
Nothing is booked on the call. If you go ahead, a 50% deposit holds your date, or you can pay in full. Face-to-face beforehand can be arranged, and is charged separately.
Two to three hours under local anaesthetic. Vaser liposuction through small incisions near the armpit and elbow, then loose skin removed along the inner arm. Each arm is treated individually.
Gentle movement from the first day, a compression garment for up to eight weeks, a nurse check at one week and a surgeon review at six weeks.
The part most adverts leave out
However minor a procedure is, there is a potential for complications. Dr Ouali will go through all of this with you before you decide anything.
Mild pain and discomfort are normal for the first few days. The recognised risks are:

Questions
Yes. The video consultation is with Dr Ouali himself, it is free, and there is no obligation. If you would rather be seen in person before you decide, a face-to-face appointment can be arranged, and that one is charged separately.
You may be suitable if you have loose, sagging skin or stubborn fat on your upper arms, are in good general health and keep a stable weight. You must be over 18.
Usually ageing, significant weight loss or genetics. All of these affect how elastic the skin is, which leads to drooping.
It usually combines Vaser liposuction to remove fat with surgical removal of excess skin. It is done under local anaesthetic and typically takes two to three hours.
Yes. Arm lift scars are expected, and they are placed on the inner arm to be as discreet as possible. They generally fade over time with proper aftercare.
Most people return to light activities within one to two weeks. Full recovery, including going back to exercise, can take six to eight weeks depending on how you heal. Bathing is usually fine after three days.
Results can be long lasting, especially if you keep to a healthy lifestyle. Natural ageing will still affect the skin over time.
You pay a 50% deposit to hold your date, or the full amount if you would rather settle it in one go. There is no in-house finance.
