An arm lift (brachioplasty) removes the loose, hanging skin and fat of the inner upper arms — common after major weight loss or with age — restoring a firmer, slimmer arm contour. Prim. MUDr. Inka Třešková performs the procedure under general anaesthesia at FN Plzeň with an overnight inpatient stay.
About this treatment
Sagging upper-arm skin ('bat wings') results from skin overstretching after significant weight loss or from age-related loss of elasticity; once the skin envelope is lax, exercise can build the underlying muscle but cannot retract the skin. Brachioplasty removes the redundant skin-and-fat excess directly: through an incision running along the inner arm (placed where it is least visible at rest), the excess tissue is excised and the remaining skin…
The operation is performed under general anaesthesia (included in the price) in the FN Plzeň university-hospital theatres with an overnight inpatient stay billed per the hospital tariff. Compression sleeves are worn for several weeks to support healing and minimise swelling.
Most patients return to desk work within one to two weeks; lifting and sport are restricted for about six weeks. The inner-arm scar is the main trade-off of the procedure — it fades considerably over 6–12 months but remains the price of a dramatically improved arm contour, which is why the free consultation includes a frank discussion of scar placement and expectations.
