Brachioplasty
Sculpted Arms Through Brachioplasty
Introduction
Brachioplasty, commonly known as arm lift surgery, is a procedure designed to reshape the upper arms by removing excess skin and underlying fat. It restores a more defined and proportionate contour, often sought after significant weight loss or due to skin laxity that develops with age.
Candidate Suitability
Ideal candidates for brachioplasty are individuals who:
- Experience loose or sagging upper arm skin that does not improve with exercise.
- Have undergone significant weight loss resulting in excess skin in the arm area, whether through natural weight reduction, bariatric surgery, or the use of GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic treatments.
- Wish to address discomfort or irritation caused by rubbing or movement of excess tissue.
- Are seeking long-term contour improvement rather than temporary alternatives.
Procedure Options and Techniques
The technique is tailored to each patient’s anatomy and the extent of correction required. Common approaches include:
- Traditional arm lift, where an incision is made along the inner arm from the armpit to the elbow to remove excess skin and fat.
- Mini arm lift, suitable for patients with less excess skin, involving a shorter incision limited to the armpit area.
- Liposuction-assisted contouring, which focuses on refining the arm’s shape by selectively removing excess fat to achieve a smoother and more balanced silhouette.
In all cases, meticulous suturing techniques are used to ensure optimal healing and minimize visible scarring.
Recovery and Aftercare
Postoperative recovery is generally smooth when aftercare instructions are carefully followed. Patients can expect:
- Compression garments to support the treated area and reduce swelling.
- Guidance on gentle movement and positioning to support comfort and proper healing.
- Gradual resumption of daily routines, beginning with light activities before progressing to more intensive exercise.
- Scars that fade over time, typically improving steadily as the arm contour refines.
Brachioplasty offers long-lasting enhancement when combined with a healthy, stable lifestyle and adherence to postoperative guidance. Each treatment plan is personalized to ensure natural, balanced, and satisfying outcomes.

I have only good words for Ms. Askouni. We performed brachioplasty and everything went extremely well. She was always supportive, both before the operation, during it, and after it. The results are already very good and visible, flawless sutures and incisions. Always kind, smiling and always by my side on a daily basis after the first days of the operation! Congratulations also to her assistant Dimitra, very good, very kind and patient.

A Journey from Germany to Greece Worth Every Mile
I traveled all the way from Germany to Greece because I wasn’t looking for just another plastic surgeon—I was looking for someone who truly understands beauty. In Dr. Askouni, I found not only a highly skilled aesthetic surgeon but a true artist.
From the very first consultation, she listened carefully to my wishes and understood exactly what I wanted: natural results that preserve my individuality and enhance my own features rather than change who I am.
I underwent a breast lift with implants and a blepharoplasty, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. The results are elegant, harmonious, and incredibly natural. Dr. Askouni has an exceptional eye for aesthetics and a rare ability to combine surgical excellence with artistic sensitivity.
What impressed me just as much was the outstanding aftercare. Even after returning to Germany, I felt completely supported and cared for. The follow-up was professional, responsive, and reassuring, making me feel that I was never alone during my recovery.
If you are looking for a surgeon who respects your uniqueness and creates beautiful, natural results while providing exceptional care every step of the way, I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Askouni. Traveling from Germany was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Thank you, Dr. Askouni, for your talent, dedication, and for helping me become the best version of myself. ❤️

Dr. Evita is the most unbelievably caring surgeon. She takes time to discuss your needs and is so approachable. When I had a breast lift, she held my hand every step of the way. I highly recommend her and would not entertain anyone else. She always returns your messages directly, not through a third party.. Which, to me is everything.. 5 star 💫

Very good surgeon! You come out of the surgery, they take off your gauze and you see your incisions so thin you can’t believe it. The pain is really minimal. The creams she advises you to take and the way you should put them on the incisions help a lot so that after a year they are not noticeable. As far as Botox, she was the only doctor I went to that told me right away about the stuff she uses. I have never seen a more natural result!

I have only good things to say about Ms. Askouni!!! She approached my problem in detail, explained to me in detail the procedure that follows, which made me feel safe and confident. She was talkative and willing to solve any question or hesitation I had. Also, the most important thing is that after the surgery she called me to find out how I was and every week we had contact either by phone or in her office. She is an excellent, kind and friendly doctor. Ms. Magda is also very kind. Always with a smile!!!
