Bat Wings No More: How Brachioplasty Reshapes Your Arms and Confidence

Older woman pointing to dangling skin near her elbow during a consultation, highlighting problem areas for brachioplasty or arm lift before cosmetic surgery. You’re not alone if you’ve been hiding your arms under long sleeves due to sagging skin or that dreaded “bat wing” effect. Many patients struggle with upper-arm laxity caused by aging, weight loss, or genetics. While diet and exercise can improve muscle tone, they won’t eliminate loose skin. That’s where brachioplasty can help you feel confident wearing sleeveless clothing again.

At Dr. Fig Med Spa in Tampa, Dr. Ronald Figueredo specializes in body contouring procedures designed to deliver balanced, sculpted results. With over 12 years of experience in aesthetic medicine, Dr. Fig focuses on procedures to help patients reclaim confidence in their appearance.

What Is Brachioplasty and How Does It Work?

Brachioplasty, commonly called an arm lift, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms. It’s especially helpful for individuals dealing with loose or sagging skin due to weight loss, aging, or genetics. During the procedure, Dr. Figueredo makes an incision — usually along the inner arm — to remove unwanted tissue and tighten the remaining skin. The result is a smoother, more contoured arm shape that appears youthful and balanced. Brachioplasty doesn’t just reshape your body; it can also reshape your confidence, making you feel more comfortable in your skin.

Can Brachioplasty Improve Self-Confidence?

An arm lift doesn’t just tighten skin — it can reshape the way you see yourself. Getting rid of excess arm skin is a deeply personal decision for many patients. Brachioplasty can improve self-image by offering:

  • Visible physical changes: Firmer, smoother arms create a more proportionate silhouette.
  • Better clothing fit: Say goodbye to bulky sleeves and hello to sleeveless tops and dresses.
  • Positive body image: Restoring symmetry to the arms often leads to higher self-esteem.

When you feel more comfortable in your skin, it shows, whether at the beach, in a boardroom, or simply enjoying day-to-day activities.
