Arm lift

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the upper arms by reducing excess skin and fat, resulting in a more toned and proportionate contour.

Procedure Overview

• Incision: The surgeon makes an incision on the inner part of the upper arm.
• Skin and Fat Removal: Excess skin and fat are removed to reshape the arm.
• Muscle Tightening: Optional tightening of underlying tissue may be performed.
• Closure: The incision is closed with sutures.

Recovery and Results

Recovery involves managing swelling and discomfort. Results can include slimmer, firmer arms that are more proportionate to the body.

Risks and Considerations

Potential risks include infection, bleeding, and scarring. Candidates should be in good health with realistic expectations.

Candidacy

Ideal candidates are generally in good health and have concerns about excess arm skin and fat that do not respond to diet or exercise.

Consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to determine if an arm lift is appropriate for your aesthetic goals.
