Arm Lift
As a result of aging, weight loss, or genetics, the skin loses elasticity or its ability to bounce back. This is especially true for the skin in the area of the upper arms where the skin and underlying tissues can become flabby. An arm lift, or brachioplasty, removes excess skin and fatty deposits from the upper arm area through a small incision along the inner aspect of the upper arm. An upper arm lift generates a smoother, tighter, and more youthful contour to not only the upper arm area but also the folds and flabbiness near the underarm areas.
