Arm Lift Surgery
Arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at improving the shape and firmness of the upper arms. This operation involves removing excess skin and fat tissue from the arm area, resulting in a slimmer and more toned appearance. It is most commonly performed on patients who have experienced significant weight loss, have a tendency for sagging skin due to aging, or struggle with loose skin due to genetic predisposition.
During the procedure, the surgeon makes incisions, usually along the inner side of the arm, to keep scarring as inconspicuous as possible. Then, excess skin and fat tissue are removed, and the remaining skin is tightened and reshaped to give the arms a more aesthetic and firm appearance. In some cases, an arm lift may be combined with liposuction, which further allows for the removal of stubborn fat and precise body contouring.
An arm lift is particularly recommended for individuals who, despite regular physical activity and a healthy lifestyle, struggle with loose, sagging skin that cannot be reduced through exercise. This procedure not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the arms but also improves daily comfort, especially when wearing short-sleeved clothing, often leading to increased self-confidence.
Although the results of the procedure are long-lasting, maintaining them requires a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a proper diet. Arm lift surgery is an effective way to enhance the appearance and firmness of this body area, leading to improved well-being and satisfaction with one’s silhouette.
