Arm lift, also called brachioplasty, is a plastic surgery to tighten the hanging skin from the upper arm.
People suffer from loose, saggy skin in their upper arm because with the age, the skin, bones and muscles get thinner which causes the loose arm.
Exercising and dieting don't give the wanted results and usually the arm stays saggy.
Therefore Arm lift surgery is the answer. The arm lift surgery is made to tighten and reshape the upper arm so it will look better and thinner.
The best candidate for upper arm lift can be almost anyone who is healthy and have an elastic skin.
Arm Lift Plastic Surgery Procedure:
The upper arm lift surgery can be made under local or general anesthesia.
An incision is made under the arm and the excess skin and fat are being removed. The procedure takes a few hours;
then the patient will stay for observation and will be released usually at the same day. The surgery will leave a visible scar.
