Brachioplasty (Arm Lift Procedure)

An Arm Lift procedure is medically termed Brachioplasty. This cosmetic surgery is performed to achieve aesthetic purposes as it helps to improve the appearance of the upper arm area. Many people are bothered by loose and sagging skin around their armpit. The reason behind this could be the genetic conditions, aging process or significant weight loss.

• Is bothered by upper arm skin laxity.
• has excess fat and sagging skin from the body area of armpit to elbow
• Is having a stable weight: typically not overweight or underweight. Also, when you are not planning to lose or gain weight in the long run.

He will ensure your safety and comfort simultaneously will satisfy all your queries so that you can have full confidence in him and his skills. He will help you to have the most realistic expectations from the surgery. He, then, will develop a surgical plan by choosing the most appropriate technique depending upon your condition and goals.

He may use any technique out of 

• Limited Arm Lift
• Short Scar Arm Lift
• Extended Arm Lift
• L-arm Lift
