Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address loose, sagging skin in the upper arm region. This condition frequently occurs after significant weight loss or as a natural part of the aging process.

Reasons for Considering an Arm Lift

• Eliminate excess, loose skin in the upper arm area
• Improve arm contour and symmetry
• Enhance body confidence after weight loss
• Address skin elasticity changes due to aging
