Upper Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) in Fresno, CA | Carl Askren, MD

Understanding Upper Arm Lift Surgery

Aging and weight fluctuations can cause excess fat and sagging skin in the upper arms of both men and women. While liposuction can help some patients by removing fat and achieving mild skin tightening, patients with severely drooping skin require surgical intervention.

Brachioplasty Procedure Details

A brachioplasty, or upper arm lift, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the upper arm. The comprehensive treatment typically involves:

• Surgical skin removal
• Potential liposuction for fat reduction
• Incision from elbow to armpit

Surgical Approach

The upper arm lift procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately two hours. Patients should understand that while the surgical scar will fade with time, it remains permanent.

Candidate Considerations for Upper Arm Lift

Ideal candidates for brachioplasty include individuals experiencing significant skin laxity or excess fat in the upper arm region that cannot be addressed through diet and exercise alone.
