Arm lift in Tunisia, also known as brachioplasty, is an aesthetic surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the arms. The procedure is designed to remove excess skin and fat between the armpit and elbow, reshaping the arms to give them a firmer, toned and visually pleasing appearance. Arm lifts in Tunisia are particularly indicated for people facing sagging skin due to significant weight loss, aging, or genetic factors that have led to a loss of skin elasticity.
The cost of an arm lift in Tunisia is generally more affordable than in many Western countries, making it a popular destination for this aesthetic procedure. Attractive prices do not, however, mean compromising on quality of care. In Tunisia, patients can benefit from the expertise of qualified surgeons and modern medical facilities at a fraction of the cost.
The price of an arm lift can vary according to several factors, such as the extent of the procedure required, the surgeon’s experience and reputation, and the services included in the package (such as hospital stay, post-operative care, and follow-up). On average, the cost can vary from a few thousand euros, making this procedure significantly more affordable for many international patients.

Arm lift surgery in Tunisia: Who is it for? Why?
Brachioplasty is a sought-after surgical procedure in Tunisia, designed for people wishing to improve the appearance of their arms. This type of surgery is particularly beneficial for those who have experienced significant weight loss, resulting in excess sagging skin on the arms, or for individuals facing sagging skin due to natural aging.
Who is it for?
- Individuals who have undergone Significant Weight Loss: Those who have lost a lot of weight, whether by natural means or following bariatric surgery, may find themselves with excess hanging skin on the arms that cannot be resolved by exercise alone.
- Older people: With age, skin loses its elasticity, which can lead to natural sagging in the arms.
- Those seeking Aesthetic Improvement: Individuals dissatisfied with the appearance of their arms due to loose skin or lack of muscle tone, seeking a solution for firmer, more sculpted arms.
Why?
- Aesthetic enhancement: Brachioplasty offers an effective solution for tightening and smoothing the skin of the arms, providing a more youthful, toned appearance.
- Increased self-confidence: Improving the appearance of the arms can have a significant impact on self-esteem and confidence, enabling individuals to feel more comfortable in their own skin and in their clothing choices.
- Accrus Comfort and Mobility: Excess skin can not only be unsightly, but can also interfere with daily activities and exercise. Brachioplasty can reduce these inconveniences, improving quality of life.
In a brachial lift, several techniques can be used to meet the specific needs of each patient, each with its own advantages and indications.
Arm Lifting with a Horizontal Incision in the Armpit:
This technique is often recommended for patients with moderate skin laxity limited to the upper arm. The incision is discreetly placed in the armpit, removing excess skin and subtly tightening the area without leaving long or visible scars along the arm. This approach is ideal for those seeking improvement with minimal visible scarring.
Arm Lift with Longitudinal Incision on the Inner Arm:
For patients with greater skin excess extending from the elbow to the armpit, a longitudinal incision along the inner side of the arm may be required. This technique provides a more comprehensive approach to skin laxity, and achieves a more significant tightening of the skin. Although this method leaves a longer scar, it is generally well hidden on the inner side of the arm and can offer superior aesthetic results for those requiring more extensive correction.
Combined Arm Lift:
In some cases, a combination of the two previous techniques can be used to achieve the best possible results. A combination lift may be necessary for patients with both excess skin around the armpit and along the inner arm. This personalized approach achieves optimal arm reshaping by treating both the proximal area near the armpit and the distal area towards the elbow.
Each brachial lift technique has its own specific indications and should be chosen after careful evaluation by an experienced plastic surgeon. The choice of technique will depend on the extent of skin slackening, the patient’s scarring preferences, and the desired aesthetic objectives. In Tunisia, plastic surgeons use these different approaches to personalize treatment and offer each patient the best possible results from an arm lift.
Before surgery
The preparatory phase of a brachioplasty begins with a thorough consultation with the surgeon. During this phase, the surgeon assesses the patient’s general state of health, discusses expectations and goals for the procedure, and examines the arm area to determine the best surgical technique. Specific instructions are given regarding preparation for the procedure, including guidelines on diet, smoking, medication management, and other personalized recommendations to optimize the safety and results of the operation.
The intervention itself
Under general anesthesia, the procedure begins with strategically placed incisions, either in the armpit for a minimal facelift, or along the inner side of the arm for a more extensive facelift. Excess skin and fat are removed, and in some cases, liposuction may be combined to further refine the arm contour. The remaining skin is then tightened and sutured, creating a smoother, firmer appearance of the arms.
The intervention itself
After surgery, bandages and compression garments are applied to reduce swelling and support the new arm contours during healing. Detailed instructions on post-operative care, including pain management, incision care, and activity restrictions, are provided to facilitate a safe recovery. Patients are generally encouraged to resume light walking the day after surgery to promote good circulation, but strenuous exercise and lifting should be avoided for several weeks.
