Brachioplasty

A sense of freedom for your arms.

Brachioplasty, also known as an Arm Lift, is one of our most popular procedures. It provides a profound sense of freedom, allowing you to show off your arms with confidence, without being concerned about skin laxity.

Using the most advanced surgical techniques, we ensure a perfectly natural and harmonious result that offers a refined appearance and well-contoured arms.

THE PROCEDURE

Laxity in the brachium—the area under the upper arms—is very common, especially with the passage of time or following significant weight loss. Brachioplasty is the aesthetic procedure that targetedly and effectively addresses this concern.

In many cases, lipodystrophy (excessive fat accumulation) is present due to factors such as heredity or aging. The procedure reshapes the arm by removing excess fat and skin, significantly improving the area’s appearance and resulting in a firm, smooth contour.

Laxity is addressed by removing the sagging skin through a “V” shaped incision in the armpit, which is hidden when the arms are closed. In cases of extensive laxity, the incision may extend along the inner surface of the arm. Frequently, the procedure is combined with Liposuction to fully address dystrophic fat.

COMBINED PROCEDURES

Brachioplasty is very often combined with Liposuction and is a core component of both the Mommy Makeover and Massive Weight Loss Makeover. Additionally, it can be paired with Renuvion technology for maximum tissue tightening.
