Brachioplasty

The upper arms, as with most areas of the body, are susceptible to excess, loose, sagging skin, and flab. This often occurs either with age or after significant changes in weight. Excess skin and some stubborn pockets of fat are resistant to the effects of diet and exercise. Through an arm lift, or brachioplasty procedure, the excess skin is removed to create tighter, smother, and more contoured arms.

Patients who desire to get rid of stubborn pockets of fat in the upper arms may combine an arm lift with liposuction for optimal results. Sometimes a brachioplasty may be combined with other body contouring procedures such as a thigh lift, tummy tuck or breast lift to remove excess skin prevalent on other areas of the body after significant weight loss. A consultation is needed with your plastic surgeon prior to your procedure to determine if you are an ideal candidate. Ideal candidate often are in good health, have been at a steady weight for at least 6 months, are non-smokers and have realistic expectations.
