Arm lift / BRACHIOPLASTY

General Description of an Arm Lift:

Brachioplasty, often called an arm lift, is the only effective solution for excess skin on the arms. In fact, liposuction alone does not allow this skin to be tightened, but combined with arm lifting, it helps to reduce their volume.

Key points :

  • Liposuction of the arms as a complement
  • Multiple scar options
  • No drain
  • Possibility of combining with other silhouette surgeries
  • Outpatient surgery possible

The skin on the inside of the arms, very thin and fragile, is often altered by variations in weight. This explains why, whether or not it is associated with excess fat, sagging skin is common in this area. When the skin in this area sags, liposuction alone is not enough. It is necessary to tighten the skin to correct this anomaly: this is called inner arm lift, arm lift, brachial lift or brachioplasty.

These are persistent fat accumulations that generally do not disappear despite physical exercise or diet.
