PLASTIC AND COSMETIC SURGERY > Arm lifting

Brachioplasty, usually known as lifting of the arms, is a procedure used to eliminate excess skin from the upper part of the arms. As a consequence of normal ageing or of fast weight loss, the skin of the arms loses elasticity. The lifting surgery of the arms tenses and increases the tone of the upper part of the arms, giving them a youthful contour.

Patients with excess fat in the arms could decide to undergo a liposuction together with other cosmetic procedures to achieve more dramatic results. Many patients, who previously felt ashamed of wearing clothes that left the arms uncovered or of lifting them, report an increased self-confidence after the procedure.
