Brachioplasty

Brachioplasty, also known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure that is performed to reshape the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. This procedure is often sought by people who have lost a significant amount of weight, which has resulted in sagging skin in the upper arms that does not respond to diet and exercise.

During the surgery, an incision is made on the inside or back of the arm, and excess skin and fat are removed. The remaining skin is then pulled tight and sutured back into place, creating a smoother and more toned appearance.

As with any surgery, there are risks involved with brachioplasty, including infection, bleeding, scarring, and nerve damage. Patients will typically need to wear compression garments for several weeks after the procedure, and may experience some swelling and discomfort during the recovery period.

While brachioplasty can be an effective way to improve the appearance of sagging arms, it is important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to determine whether the procedure is appropriate for your specific needs and goals.
