Arm Lift or Brachioplasty
Arm Lift or Brachioplasty
An Arm Lift, also known as Brachioplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms. It helps improve arm contour, firmness, and overall appearance—especially for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or skin laxity due to aging.
This procedure results in smoother, more toned arms that look proportionate to the rest of the body, boosting confidence in sleeveless and fitted clothing.
