Arm Lift

Arm Lift Surgery (Brachioplasty)

An arm lift procedure (brachioplasty), attempts to acquire a natural & youthful looking by removing the fat and excess skin hanging down from the underarms. An arm lift is often performed on post-bariatric surgery patients who have lost huge amounts of weight in a short amount of time. The procedure helps to relieve patients’ self-consciousness in wearing short sleeves or otherwise showing their arms.
