Arm Lift
‘Arm Lift Surgery removes excess fat and loose skin from the arms for a slimmer, tighter Appearance’
Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) in Dubai
Many patients with concerns about their arms often describe issues like "hanging skin and fat" or feeling that their upper arms appear too large. Many women express discomfort wearing short-sleeved shirts or struggle to find well-fitting clothing, as their arm size requires them to choose significantly larger sizes. If these challenges resonate with you, an arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, could be an excellent solution. Dr. Ahmad Tong brings decades of extensive experience in performing this procedure, helping patients achieve a more toned and proportionate appearance.
Our Credentials
Benefits of an Arm Lift
A Brachioplasty aims to remove extra skin and fat in order to achieve a smoother, thinner, more proportional upper arm.
It achieves this through:
-
Liposuction of the fatty areas
-
Direct removal of excess upper arm skin
The result is a significant amount of fat and skin removal in the upper arm, starting at the elbow extending to the underarm region.
Who is a candidate for Arm Lift?
Ideal candidates for an arm lift typically have loose, sagging, or excess skin on their upper arms as a primary concern. This condition is often the result of factors such as previous weight gain and loss, sun damage, aging, or genetics.
The ideal candidate for Thigh Lift Surgery with Dr. Ahmad:
Large Upper Arms
Some patients find their upper arms disproportionately large compared to the rest of their body and seek a more balanced appearance.
Excess Skin After Weight Loss
Others, especially those who have undergone bariatric surgery or experienced significant weight loss, may struggle with “floppy” upper arms.
Age-Related Loss of Arm Tone
Many individuals notice that aging has caused their arms to lose tone, with wrinkles or sagging skin becoming more prominent over time.
Candidates should generally be healthy and physically fit. Both younger and older patients may experience these concerns and can be eligible for the procedure. Dr. Ahmad carefully evaluates every potential candidate to ensure the surgery is appropriate and safe for them.
The Brachioplasty Procedure
On the day of your surgery, Dr. Ahmad will carefully make surgical markings on your arms before the procedure. These markings outline the areas for liposuction and the skin to be removed. Once you are under anesthesia, Dr. Ahmad begins by performing liposuction to reduce arm bulk and prepare for skin removal.
Next, he removes the excess skin along with the attached fatty layer, taking meticulous care to remove just the right amount to ensure the arm looks natural—neither too tight nor too loose. The incision is then carefully stitched closed, and a dressing is applied. Dr. Ahmad follows the same precise process on the other arm before you are gently awakened from anesthesia.
Recovery from Arm Lift
Recovery from Arm Lift Immediately after Surgery
After Arm Lift surgery, our staff transfers you to the recovery room, where the nurses monitor you as the effects of your anesthesia wear off. Once you meet the appropriate criteria for discharge, Dr. Ahmad allows you to go home, accompanied by your family member or friend.
Recovery from Arm Lift at Home
After returning home, avoid any physical activity during the first week of recovery. Your arms will be wrapped in dressings and should remain slightly elevated while sitting or sleeping. To maintain elevation, we recommend propping your arms on pillows placed on either side. This helps reduce swelling, minimizes discomfort, and promotes faster healing.
You can expect your arms to feel tight and sore during the first 1–2 weeks. Bruising is usually mild and resolves within the same timeframe. Dr. Ahmad typically approves light exercise after two weeks, but activities involving the arms should be avoided until four weeks post-surgery.
For pain management, Dr. Ahmad prescribes narcotic pain medication, which most patients use for about one week following the procedure.
Your Arm Lift Consultation
Your journey begins with a personalized consultation with Dr. Ahmad, who brings extensive experience in treating post-bariatric surgery patients with excess skin, honed during his previous practice in the United Arab Emirates. This is your opportunity to ask any questions about Thigh Lift or Mini Thigh Lift procedures. Dr. Ahmad will take the time to address all your concerns and provide a thorough understanding of the process from start to finish.
During the consultation, you’ll also have the chance to view a portfolio of Dr. Ahmad’s work, showcasing a variety of results. Our priority is to educate our patients, as we believe that informed decisions lead to better outcomes—not only in choosing the right procedure but also the right surgeon.

-
Will the implants look natural?When performed by a skilled surgeon, facial implants are designed to integrate seamlessly with your natural features, providing subtle yet noticeable improvements.
-
Can facial implants be combined with other procedures?Yes, facial implants are often combined with procedures like rhinoplasty, liposuction, or facelifts to achieve comprehensive facial harmony.

-
How Long Does the Nose Correction / Reshaping Last?For the majority of the Hyaluronic Acid to degrade, more than 12 months will be required. Nonetheless, around one-third of the injection will remain permanent.
-
How Much Does a Nose Job With Filler in Dubai Cost?The costs for a nasal injection containing up to 1 ml of Hyaluronic gel are determined based on the amount of effort and materials required. The price of this injection is AED 2000, excluding value-added tax. The doctor's schedule of fees will be used to determine the price based on the individual effort and materials used. Currently, there is a special offer available for AED 2,100, which is only valid for a few more days.
-
A Nose Correction Without Surgery - What Can I Expect?By undergoing a simple procedure known as Hyaluronic acid implantation, an experienced doctor can help you achieve a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing nose by remodeling its tip or knob area. Observers often tend to notice any facial irregularities, and a nose that has been reshaped through this method will appear more regular and better integrated with the rest of your features, thereby giving the illusion of a smaller nose.
-
Which Hyaluronic Gel (Filler) Is Used?We typically utilize a gel containing synthetic Hyaluronic Acid, which mimics the natural water-retaining substance produced by our bodies. The difference between this synthetic form and the body's own version lies in its chemical stabilization through linking molecules. Other fillers with higher viscosity are less suitable for correcting nasal shape, particularly permanent ones on the nasal ridge, as they either have an unsuitable consistency or are prone to rejection by the body. The gel-like consistency of Hyaluronic Acid allows for a visible, albeit limited lifting effect beneath taut nasal skin. In the event of need, hyaluronidase can dissolve the Hyaluronic Acid gel.
-
How Does a Nose Job Without Surgery Proceed?To begin the procedure, the nose will be locally numbed as required. The Hyaluronic Acid gel will then be accurately implanted beneath the skin to correct the specific needs of the nose. If a local anesthetic is administered, its effects may last for approximately an hour following the treatment. There is no need for downtime or recovery time, and you may resume your daily activities right away.
-
What Unwanted Side Effects Are Possible?It is likely that the treated area will experience swelling and redness after being treated with Hyaluronic Acid. After a nose correction, small hematomas may appear, but they are not comparable to the significant bleeding that may occur after a Rhinoplasty operation. These hematomas can be concealed with make-up and typically disappear within three days. While vigorous massaging may shift the position of the Hyaluronic Acid slightly, it should only be done by the treating physician. Prior to treatment, you will receive information on the potential side effects of any intervention that affects the integrity of the human body, including rare but possible effects on blood and nerve supply, as well as the wound itself. These risks are similar to those associated with the injection of premium-quality Hyaluronic Acid for wrinkle treatment. If you are unsatisfied with the results, Nose Fillers can be dissolved using an appropriate enzyme.
-
Is the Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty with Nose Filler Safe?Hyaluronic Acid occurs naturally in human tissue and doesn't cause rejection reactions. When working with this substance, we use small amounts and needles. Nevertheless, any invasive procedure carries some degree of risk, and the safety of a non-medically necessary treatment should be paramount. Even a relatively safe procedure should not be promoted as entirely risk-free. The injection of Hyaluronic Acid into tissue involves the implantation of a foreign substance, which has mechanical, osmotic, and growth-modulating effects.
-
Is a Nose Job Without Surgery Painful?By administering a local anesthetic to delicate areas, the procedure can be comfortably endured, although some mild discomfort may still be present. Patients may have differing levels of pain perception; for instance, those who underwent a nose correction using Hyaluronic Acid gel may experience temporary, slight discomfort. By employing basic pain medication, we aim to maximize your level of comfort.
