Understanding Arm Lift Surgery in Southern Utah

Fluctuations in weight, aging, and heredity can cause upper arms to develop a drooping, sagging appearance. While exercise can improve muscle tone, it cannot address excess skin with reduced elasticity or underlying weakened tissues and localized fat deposits.

What is an Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)?

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the underside of the upper arm from the underarm region to the elbow. This transformative procedure offers multiple aesthetic benefits:

• Reduces excess skin and fat between the underarm and elbow
• Reshapes arms to create smoother skin and more defined contours
• Achieves a more toned and proportionate arm appearance
• Tightens underlying supportive tissue
• Eliminates localized fat pockets in the upper arm region

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

The Center For Advanced Plastic Surgery identifies optimal candidates for arm lift surgery based on specific criteria:

• Adults experiencing significant upper arm skin laxity
• Individuals with stable body weight
• Healthy patients without medical conditions that could impair healing
• Non-smokers
• Patients with realistic expectations and a positive outlook

Important Surgical Considerations

Patients considering an arm lift should discuss future weight loss or pregnancy plans with their plastic surgeon. These factors can potentially impact surgical outcomes and long-term results.
