Arm Lift

Brachioplasty

Imagine feeling comfortable enough to wear a sleeveless shirt on a hot day or a strapless gown to a black tie event. An arm lift can help give you those options. Loose upper arm skin is most often related to skin failing to tighten after dramatic weight loss or aging.

The Brachioplasty procedure aims to reduce the circumference of the upper arm by eliminating sag and restoring a toned appearance. Re-contouring the arms can sometimes include both liposuction and surgical removal of excess skin. For moderate skin removal, a small, hidden incision in the armpit is used.

For removal of large amounts of skin, a delicate incision from the elbow to the armpit is required. The incision is thin and placed in the most inconspicuous location possible (inner arm toward the back), but some scarring may always be visible.

The arm lift procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia.
