The mini arm lift is a slightly scaled-down technique similar to a full arm lift procedure. “Mini arm lift” is not a common term among medical professionals, as most board-certified surgeons customize each surgery to fit a patient’s needs.
Generally, procedures that would qualify as a “mini” arm lift involve a below-average incision length and very minimal removal of excess fat and skin. Though this approach is certainly appropriate for some patients with very little tissue to remove, many patients won’t qualify.
