arm lift or brachioplasty…
An arm lift surgery, or brachioplasty, is a procedure to remove excess fat and skin of the upper arm. Loose, sagging skin is often the result of aging or dramatic weight fluctuation such as after gastric bypass surgery. In some cases, this extra skin is merely the result of natural aging or one’s genetic makeup.
The procedure is done under general anesthesia. It can incorporate liposuction as well as skin removal. The incision is somewhat conspicuous as it extends from the armpit region to the elbow. Patients are advised to wear a compression garment after surgery and avoid strenuous upper body activity.
