A brachioplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to correct skin laxity and excess fat in the upper arms. It removes sagging skin and reshapes the arm contour, resulting in firmer and more defined upper arms. The procedure is especially popular after significant weight loss or for those who wish to achieve a more toned arm appearance.
Benefits of Brachioplasty:
Firmer and more sculpted upper arms.
Removal of excess or sagging skin.
Improved body image and confidence.
Long-lasting results when a stable weight is maintained.
Combined with Liposuction
Enhances contouring and provides a slimmer, more refined result.
Suitable for mild skin laxity. The incision is limited to the armpit area, providing moderate improvement with minimal scarring.
Mini (Horizontal) Brachioplasty
Recommended for moderate to severe sagging. A longitudinal incision is made along the inner arm, extending in some cases down to the elbow, allowing for more comprehensive tightening.
