Arm Lift

Heredity, aging and weight fluctuations can cause your upper arms to appear saggy or droopy. Regrettably, exercise alone may not correct this condition. If you have excess skin and fat on the underside of your upper arms, an arm lift can help rejuvenate your appearance, allowing you to confidently wear sleeveless tops and dresses once again.

What is an arm lift?

An arm lift — also known as brachioplasty or arm contouring — reshapes the under portion of your upper arm, from your underarm region to your elbow.

This surgical procedure aims to:

Reduce excess sagging skin
Tighten and smooth to define the shape of your upper arm
Reduce pockets of fat in the upper arm region
