An Arm lift or brachioplasty is a surgical procedure involving the skin and fat of your arms, typically the posterior part. Some people are born with large arms while others develop loose, hanging skin with increasing age or after significant weight loss. In some cases liposuction alone can improve the size and shape of the arms. In others, removal of tissue with a scar is needed for the best improvement. The scar typically runs from the armpit to the elbow. If placed well, this scar is not visible when your arms are at your side. In patients who have loose skin that is located near the underarm area alone, it’s possible to remove skin so that the scar is hidden in the armpit.

If you feel self-conscious about sagging skin on your upper arms, an arm lift, or brachioplasty, may be an excellent solution.  During this body contouring procedure, your plastic surgeon will trim away excess, hanging skin and remove stubborn deposits of fat. Then he or she will pull your skin taut so that it conforms to the new contours of your arm. You will emerge from surgery looking fitter and more youthful, with arms that better complement the rest of your figure.

Arm lift in Beverly Hills may be a good option if you have recently lost a lot of weight after bariatric surgery or due to diet and exercise. It can also be an effective way to treat signs of aging in your upper arms. There are several surgical techniques that can be used to perform the procedure, including a standard upper arm lift and a mini-arm lift. Your doctor will help you choose the right solution for you based on your cosmetic goals and the natural contours of your arms. No matter which type of arm lift you choose, the treatment can have a stunning impact on your overall appearance. Like many men and women, you may discover that even a subtle change in the appearance of your arms can make your entire body look noticeably younger and slimmer.

As with so many other plastic surgery procedures, you may choose to have arm lift surgery performed on its own or in conjunction with other procedures as part of a more comprehensive treatment plan. Many patients choose to combine arm lift with such procedures as thigh lift, breast lift, breast augmentation, abdominoplasty, facelift, neck lift, and brow lift.
