Understanding Arm Lift
An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms to create a smoother, firmer, and more proportionate arm contour. It is especially beneficial for patients with significant skin laxity after major weight loss, aging, or genetics.
The procedure improves upper-arm firmness and definition, clothing fit and comfort, and overall body harmony. An arm lift can be performed alone or combined with liposuction for enhanced contouring.
