An arm lift removes loose skin from the upper arm. The scar runs along the inner arm from the armpit toward the elbow. Liposuction can thin the arm. It does not tighten a sleeve of skin left after a large weight loss, which is why the scar is the trade people accept.
Among the procedures on this site that publish a cited complication rate, this one is the lowest. The percentage and the study are below. Lowest in this set is still a real rate of wound problems, and it is a weak reason to have the surgery somewhere you cannot return to for a check.
The operating time is shorter than a body lift, so the facility bill is smaller. It is still a separate line from the surgeon's fee. A total on this site includes those lines when the person who paid broke them out.
This page describes the operation. It is not a recommendation to have surgery.
Along the inner arm, from the armpit toward the elbow. That scar is the trade for removing a sleeve of skin.
Liposuction can thin the arm. It does not tighten loose skin left after a large weight loss. An arm lift removes that skin.

Aesthetic Surgery Journal, 109 brachioplasty patients: 11.9% overall
A high number here usually means frequent minorcomplications — wound separation and fluid collections that are managed in the office over weeks — rather than disasters. It is the main reason having this surgery far from home is a bad trade. We are not doctors; discuss these figures with a surgeon.
