Body Contouring – Arm Lift

Arm Lift Surgery (Brachioplasty)

Also known as brachioplasty, an arm lift reshapes the under-portion of the upper arm, from the underarm region to the elbow.

Incision length and pattern depend on the amount and location of excess skin to be removed. Incisions are generally placed on the inside or on the back of the arm and may extend from the underarm (axilla) to just above the elbow. If fat is to be reduced during your arm lift, it will be excised or treated with liposuction.Also known as brachioplasty, an arm lift reshapes the under portion of the upper arm, from the underarm region to the elbow.

Depending on your specific conditions, incisions may be more limited. Then, the underlying supportive tissue is tightened and reshaped with internal sutures. Finally, the skin is smoothed over the new contour of your arm.
Your incisions will be closed with absorbable sutures or stitches that will be removed within 1-2 weeks following your arm lift.
The smoother, tighter contours that result from brachioplasty are apparent almost immediately following your procedure, although initial results will be somewhat obscured by swelling and bruising. Your new, shapely and toned upper arm is dramatically improved both in appearance and feel.
