Understanding Brachioplasty in Charlotte
Charlotte Plastic Surgery offers specialized brachioplasty procedures targeting excess arm skin and tissue. Arm lifts effectively address concerns like sagging skin caused by aging, genetics, and significant weight changes that traditional exercise cannot resolve.
What is Brachioplasty?
A brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, reshapes and contours upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. The procedure targets "bat wings" or drooping arm tissue, creating a more toned and defined arm appearance through precise surgical techniques.
Who Benefits from Arm Lift Surgery?
- Individuals experiencing significant weight loss
- Patients with age-related skin laxity
- Those seeking improved arm contour and definition
- People with excess, hanging skin in upper arm regions
The Brachioplasty Procedure in Charlotte
Charlotte Plastic Surgery's board-certified surgeons customize each arm lift procedure. Typically performed under general anesthesia, the surgery takes one to three hours and involves carefully removing excess tissue and tightening underlying muscles.
Surgical Details
