Overview

An upper arm lift or Brachioplasty reshapes the upper arm to tighten the loose skin and remove the fat that often creates a “batwing” appearance under the arm. Removing the excess skin caused by weight loss or natural aging is sometimes combined with liposuction to achieve the best results.

If you have lost a massive amount of weight and are left with excess upper-arm skin and fat that resemble bat wings.
If you are willing to accept a scar in exchange for shapelier arms.

How is an arm lift surgery performed?

First, the surgeon makes an incision in front of your upper arm. The next step is to make a pocket in the armpit, which creates an opening for the attachment of the suction cup, thus allowing for the insertion of the needle. Then the tissue is transferred in two stages, firstly to the subcutaneous layer of fat on the underside of your arm and then to the muscles.

The arm lift surgery includes an incision down to the bone, which will have a vertical split in it. The last step of an upper arm lift surgery is the suturing or stapling of the incisions.
