Arm Lift Procedure
The cosmetic surgery operation known as upper arm lift, is designed to remove loose skin from the upper arms. Lipoplasty is typically not an effective plastic surgery option in this case. However if there are residual fat deposits, liposuction may be combined with the upper arm lift. Loose upper arm skin is most often related to weight loss. If you were ever overweight, you more than likely developed heavy upper arms. To accommodate the increased volume of the upper arms, your skin stretched. After weight loss, the skin often fails to tighten, and so it sags. The only way to improve this problem is through an upper arm lift, also called brachioplasty. As with other areas of the body, aging and gravity have negative effects on the upper arms. This is also an area where fat tends to deposit in women. Loose skin and excess fat in the upper arms can be addressed surgically with the upper arm lift surgery. Younger women with relatively elastic skin and excess fat alone, may be candidates for liposuction of the upper arms.
