Brachioplasty

Upper Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure to remove loose skin and excess fat deposits in the upper arm. With age, upper arm skin can become loose and flabby. Plastic surgeons will discuss brachioplasty with patients who want to tighten this skin and look as good as they feel. In some cases your plastic surgeon may suggest that liposuction be used alone or in conjunction with an arm lift to remove excess fat in the upper arms.

"This 54 year old patient lost 100 pounds after diet and exercise. She complained of "batwings" in her upper extremities and desired recontouring her upper arms. She underwent a brachioplasty procedure otherwise known as an arm lift."
