We all dread and fight it – that excess fat and skin that sags from under the upper part of the arm. This is commonly caused by genetics, aging, changes in weight and many other variables. For many women, this trouble zone is difficult to improve using diet and exercise alone. The fat cells can be stubborn and the excess skin isn’t going anywhere. For these women a Brachioplasty is often the best option for creating the sleeker more contoured arms desired.
A Brachioplasty, or Arm Lift surgery, is a procedure designed to eliminate the excess skin from under the upper arm. Often Liposuction may also be used if there is excess fat to be removed from this area. In cases where the patient has had a significant weight loss a Brachioplasty procedure may be done as part of a total Body Lift procedure to remove excess skin from several areas of the body such as the abdomen (Tummy Tuck), thighs (Thigh Lift) or breasts (Breast Lift).
