Upper Arm Lift

An upper arm lift, or brachioplasty, removes skin from the upper arms when there is a large amount of excess.  It results in a vertical scar from the armpit to elbow. Sometimes smaller incisions can be employed in the armpit if the skin excess is less severe.

Who is a Good Candidate For an Arm Lift?

Candidates for brachioplasty range from those who have recently lost massive weight (as in the case of weight loss surgery like gastric bypass or lap band) to those who simply want to tighten and remove excess skin and fat from the upper arm region.  Excess skin and fat can accumulate in this region as we age so some patients decide that they want to remove it.

Benefits of An Arm Lift

The benefits of brachioplasty can be dramatic when combined with other types of body sculpting like liposuction in the same region.  You can dramatically reshape the contour of your upper arm changing your appearance to a more youthful and tighter look.
