About the Procedure
Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes and tightens the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. It is ideal for addressing loose or sagging skin that can develop with ageing or significant weight loss, helping to create smoother, firmer, and more defined contours.
Benefits of Brachioplasty
- More toned and sculpted arm shape
- Slimmer arm circumference
- Reduced chafing, irritation, and skin concerns
- Improved comfort and hygiene
- Greater confidence in sleeveless clothing
- Enhanced self-esteem and body balance
How the Surgery Works
During the procedure, stretched skin is carefully removed from the upper arm and the remaining tissue is tightened for a streamlined result. Liposuction may be combined to refine shape and remove stubborn fat deposits, enhancing overall contour.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate?
Arm lift surgery is best suited for individuals with noticeable loose or hanging skin due to weight loss, ageing, or genetics. Candidates should be near their ideal weight and seeking long-term contour improvement rather than weight reduction.
