Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
What is Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)?
An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to address sagging or excess skin on the upper arms. This condition, often referred to as “bat wings,” can result from factors like aging, significant weight loss, or genetics.
During an arm lift procedure, a plastic surgeon makes an incision along the inner aspect of the upper arm. The length and pattern of the incision may vary depending on the extent of excess skin and the surgical technique used. Once the incision is made, the surgeon removes the excess skin and, in some cases, underlying fat tissue. The remaining skin is then tightened and sutured in place.
The goal of an arm lift is to create a smoother, more toned appearance of the upper arms, improving both the aesthetics and comfort of the patient. While the procedure effectively addresses sagging skin, it does leave a scar along the inner arm, which can vary in size and visibility.
Who Benefits from Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)?
Arm lift surgery is often sought by individuals who are dissatisfied with the appearance of their upper arms due to sagging skin and desire a more youthful and contoured look. It can provide a significant improvement in arm aesthetics and self-confidence for those who choose to undergo the procedure.
