“The skin off the upper arms tends to droop with age, hormonal changes, and significant weight loss. This is very common after massive weight loss or bariatric surgery”.
A Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) is the procedure designed to remove and reshape skin and fat in the upper arms, from the underarm region to the elbow.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A BRACHIOPLASTY-ARM LIFT?
You are a good candidate for a Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) if you are stable weight, significant upper arm skin laxity, a good state of health, and realistic expectation with the result.
Doctor´s
consideration
There are several techniques described to perform brachioplasty (arm lift). Each one has its advantages and its limitations. I use a technique that combines a linear lipectomy in the central portion of the arm with liposuction at the ends.
In this technique it is very important to make the patient see two very important aspects: where the scars will be lodged and the recovery time of the surgery.
