Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

Arm-lift surgery, technically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that reshapes the under portion of the upper arm, from the armpit to the elbow. It is performed to reduce excess skin as well as tighten and smooth the underlying supportive tissues that define the shape of the upper arm. In order to achieve this improved image, there will be a scar on the inside of the upper arm. Scars are permanent, but generally fade with time.
