Arm lift

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is designed to remove excess skin and improve contour of the upper arms for a firmer, more toned appearance. It is often a great option for patients bothered by loose, hanging skin after weight loss or aging and can help create smoother, more proportionate arm contours.

Types of arm lifts

Arm lift techniques vary based on the amount and location of excess skin, with options including a short-scar arm lift, a longer traditional arm lift, and an extended arm lift that continues onto the chest wall when more extensive contouring is needed. The best approach is chosen based on the patient’s anatomy and goals to create smoother, more refined, and better-proportioned upper arm contours.
