Bilateral Arm Lift before and after (Brachioplasty)
- Posted on: Oct 14 2024
Brachioplasty, also known as an arm lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that reshapes the upper arm to improve its appearance:
-
What it does
Brachioplasty removes excess skin and fat from the upper arm, from the armpit to the elbow. It also tightens sagging skin and supportive tissue.
-
Who it’s for
Brachioplasty is often performed after significant weight loss, but it can also be done for other reasons, such as aging or pregnancy.
-
How it’s done
A plastic surgeon makes an incision on the inside or back of the arm and removes excess skin and fat. The procedure usually takes 2-3 hours and can be performed under general anesthesia or twilight anesthesia.
-
Results
Brachioplasty can give the upper arm a more toned and balanced appearance. It can also make the arm look smoother and smaller.
-
When combined with other surgeriesBrachioplasty is often performed at the same time as other surgeries, such as body contouring around the midsection or inner thighs and breast lift procedures.
