Brachioplasty

Brachioplasty, also known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure that aims to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms, resulting in a more toned and contoured appearance.

Brachioplasty is typically performed for cosmetic reasons, especially for those who have lost a significant amount of weight, resulting in excess sagging skin in the upper arms. The procedure can also be done to address age-related changes in the upper arms, such as sagging and loss of elasticity.

The surgical technique used for brachioplasty depends on the extent of excess skin and fat, as well as the individual's anatomy. The incision is usually made along the inner or back part of the upper arm, and the excess skin and fat are removed. In some cases, liposuction may be used to remove excess fat and contour the arms.

Like any surgical procedure, brachioplasty carries risks and potential complications, such as bleeding, infection, scarring, and changes in sensation. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of brachioplasty with a qualified plastic surgeon and choose the most appropriate treatment plan based on individual circumstances.
