Upper arm lift in Leipzig – for firm, defined upper arms
When the skin on the upper arms sags over the years, it places a significant strain on many sufferers – both physically and mentally. Especially in the warmer months, these so-called flabby arms are difficult to conceal, which can severely impact self-confidence. Furthermore, overstretched tissue can cause skin irritation or inflammation due to friction. A surgical upper arm lift (brachioplasty) in Leipzig can provide relief in such cases – permanent, effective, and with aesthetically pleasing results.
In our practice, we offer customized treatment concepts tailored to your specific situation. Depending on the condition of your skin and tissue, a traditional lift, liposuction, or a combination of both methods may be appropriate. Schedule your consultation now – Dr. Graß will personally take the time to explain all the options for arm lift surgery in Leipzig.
Who is an upper arm lift suitable for?
An upper arm lift is always advisable when the tissue on the upper arms no longer shrinks naturally. Causes for this can be significant weight loss, genetic predisposition, or the natural aging process. Even slim people can be affected – sagging skin is not always related to excess weight.
In our practice, we advise patients from Leipzig and the surrounding area who want to have firm, smooth arms again – regardless of their age.

Methods of upper arm lift
Depending on the findings, we use different surgical techniques:
-
Classic upper arm lift: Removal of excess skin through a fine incision along the inner side of the arm.
-
Liposuction: In cases of moderate skin sagging, tissue-sparing liposuction is often sufficient.
-
Combination of tightening and liposuction: Ideal for severe sagging plus fat deposits.
After a thorough examination, Dr. Graß will determine with you individually which method is best suited to you.
Procedure for upper arm lift in Leipzig
Advice & Preparation
During a personal consultation, Dr. Graß will clarify your wishes, examine your initial situation, and explain all the details of the procedure. Blood-thinning medications may need to be discontinued. Alcohol and nicotine should be avoided before and after surgery.
The procedure
Depending on the extent of the procedure, the upper arm lift is performed under local or general anesthesia – either as an outpatient procedure or with one night of inpatient monitoring. The incisions are made in inconspicuous locations, and excess skin and, if necessary, fat are removed. A delicate suture technique ensures the most inconspicuous scarring possible.
Aftercare
After the procedure, you will wear a compression sleeve for a few weeks. Light daily activities can usually be resumed after a few days, but you should avoid exercise for 4–6 weeks. Regular follow-up appointments at our practice ensure optimal healing.
Risks of upper arm lift
An upper arm lift is a low-risk procedure when performed professionally. As with any surgery, swelling, bruising, slow wound healing, or numbness may occur. Scars can usually be minimized with modern techniques and good care. At our practice in Leipzig, we maintain the highest standards of hygiene and are available to assist you at any time after the procedure.
