Brachioplasty

What Is Brachioplasty?

Brachioplasty, also known as arm lift surgery, is a procedure that can help remove unwanted fat and tighten loose and sagging skin that hangs from the arms. 

Is Brachioplasty Right For Me?

Even if we're strong and physically fit, as we age, our skin will lose its natural elasticity.  This can create loose skin that hangs unattractively from the back of the arms.  In many cases, even aggressive exercise won't be able to resolve the problem.  If you're bothered by flabby arms, there's no need to hide under long-sleeved shirts any longer.  Our plastic surgeons have developed an advanced short-scar technique that can remove skin and fat, while concealing surgical scars entirely in the armpit.  To find out more about whether brachioplasty could be right for you, call our office today to make an appointment with one of our plastic surgeons.

What Kind Of Results Can I Expect?

 In the past, many people have shied away from brachioplasty surgery because the scars from the traditional surgery were significant and highly visible.  But now, our plastic surgeons has developed a technique that, in most cases, can remove skin and fat, while concealing post-surgical scars entirely under the armpit, where they will be less noticeable.  Our plastic surgeons will discuss with you what kind of results you can expect given your specific anatomy and needs.

Can Brachioplasty Be Combined With Other Procedures?

Absolutely.  Brachioplasty is often combined with other body contouring procedures, such as tummy tuck, breast lift and liposuction, to achieve even better results.  One of our plastic surgeons will discuss with you what approach can help you realize the look you desire.
