An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that:An arm lift is a surgical procedure which removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms, generally from the armpit to the elbow. The resulting scar from surgery is located on the back of the arm to make it appear as inconspicuous as possible. Occasionally liposuction is added to the operation to improve definition and provide a more sculpted appearance. The surgical area for correction can also be extended onto the upper chest for further contour enhancement. The operation typically takes 2-3 hours and surgical drains are sometimes used.
Fluctuations in weight, growing older, and heredity can cause your upper arms to have a drooping, sagging appearance. This is a condition that cannot be corrected through exercise. Arm lift surgery may be right for you if the underside of your upper arms are sagging or appear loose and full due to excess skin and fat.
Patients who inquire about brachioplasty surgery often complain of sagging, extra skin and fat on the upper arms and seek a more toned and youthful appearance. Brachioplasty surgery is a safe and effective procedure used to dramatically improve the appearance of the upper arms.
