An arm lift helps to remove excess skin of the upper arms for a slimmer, sleeker contour.

What Is an Arm Lift?

An arm lift is a surgical procedure that treats excess skin of the upper arm and axillary regions. Patients often complain of excess skin in this area after weight loss or with age. As with many plastic surgery procedures, the surgical technique used to address this area depends on the severity of the excess skin. In mild cases, certain nonsurgical or minimally invasive procedures can be performed to help tighten and lift the excess skin and fatty tissue. In other cases, either a short scar or an extended scar procedure is required to achieve maximum results. Extensive measures are taken by Dr. Joshua Cox to conceal these scars as best as possible and use aggressive scar management techniques to keep the scars as light and inconspicuous as possible.

Why Consider Brachioplasty

Many of our patients who have undergone massive weight loss or have developed excess arm skin with age are very self-conscious about this area. They complain that clothes don’t fit correctly, they are unable to wear short sleeves, and they can have hygiene issues. Some patients simply desire a sleeker, tighter-looking arm. An arm lift can help you achieve this sleek contour and feel better about your arms in clothing with or without sleeves.
