The Artis Institute for Plastic Surgery is proud to introduce the SIMPLE Arm Lift — a revolutionary procedure created by combining state-of-the-art technology with surgical precision. Designed for this generation, the SIMPLE Arm Lift contours the arms by addressing excess fat and loose skin with no visible incisions, while simultaneously enhancing natural muscle definition. It’s that simple.

What Is the SIMPLE Arm Lift?
Many patients want toned, sculpted arms without the scarring or extended downtime of a traditional surgical arm lift. The SIMPLE Arm Lift was developed to meet that demand, pairing advanced contouring technology with the surgical expertise of the Artis Institute team to reshape the upper arm from within — no visible incisions required. The result is a smoother, more defined arm with underlying muscle tone brought to the surface, achieved in about an hour and with a fraction of the recovery time patients expect from arm surgery.

Am I a Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for the SIMPLE Arm Lift if you:
- Are bothered by excess fat or loose, crepey skin along the upper arms
- Want noticeable arm contouring without a traditional surgical lift or visible scarring
- Are in good general health with realistic expectations for your results
- Prefer a procedure performed under local anesthesia with minimal downtime
During your consultation, our team at the Artis Institute will evaluate your arms, skin quality, and aesthetic goals to confirm that the SIMPLE Arm Lift is the right approach for you.
What to Expect During Your Procedure
Your SIMPLE Arm Lift begins with local anesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout treatment. Using state-of-the-art technology, your provider precisely targets and addresses excess fat and loose skin along the upper arm while working to enhance the definition of the muscle beneath. Because the technique is minimally invasive, there are no visible incisions — just refined, natural-looking contours. Most patients are in and out of our office in about an hour.
Recovery With HEALiotherapy
One of the biggest advantages of the SIMPLE Arm Lift is how quickly you can get back to your routine. Because the procedure is minimally invasive, recovery is significantly shorter than what’s typically associated with arm surgery. To support your healing, the Artis Institute pairs every SIMPLE Arm Lift with HEALiotherapy, our advanced recovery protocol designed to help reduce downtime and get you back to feeling like yourself — sleeveless and all — as quickly as possible.
