Arm Lift?

An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, reshapes and tightens the upper arms by targeting excess skin and fat, often a result of aging, significant weight loss, or genetics, to create a smoother, more toned appearance.

What to Expect on the Day of Arm Lift Surgery

After anesthesia, Dr. Lugo will perform liposuction of the entire upper arm, and she will then make incisions along the inside of your upper arm. Depending on your needs, excess skin and fat will be removed, and the remaining skin and fat will be tightened and smoothed to achieve a more contoured appearance.

Liposuction is often included with arm lift surgery to remove excess fat and achieve an enhanced result.

Recovery
