An arm lift, also known as a brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that can remove unsightly excess skin and tighten arms into a more toned, contoured form.
The Brachioplasty Procedure
Your arm lift procedure will vary depending on your condition and your aesthetic goals; for instance, the type of incision, the removal of excess skin or fat or both, and the placement of the incision will be customized completely for you; your incisions might be longer or shorter, or hidden on the inside of the arm, behind the arm, or placed the armpit.
The first step of the brachioplasty is making an incision. In a brachioplasty, sometimes the incision will go all the way from your arm pit to your elbow, but will be placed in an area that’s discreet. Extra skin will then be trimmed, while fat may also be removed usually through liposuction. In order to reshape the arms and tone them, the underlying tissue in the arms will also be tightened. Your brachioplasty will end with the surgeon closing your incisions.
