What is an Arm Lift?

An Arm Lift, medically known as Brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat between the underarm and elbow. This procedure reshapes the arm, creating smoother and firmer arm contours. The technique varies depending on the amount and location of excess skin.

Arm Lift Surgical Options

• Minimal Scar Arm Lift: Removes skin at the armpit crease, leaving a short scar
• Traditional Arm Lift: Removes skin and fat from armpit to above the elbow
