Who Can Benefit From Brachioplasty?
Occasionally, a person is born with an unusual amount of loose skin on their upper arms; however, most of my patients who undergo an Arm Lift have lost a significant amount of weight and are unhappy with the residual bulk and laxity of their upper arm skin.
With weight gain, the skin expands to cover the increased surface area. This happens every place on the body that stores fat. The arms, abdomen, breasts, thighs, face and back are frequently left lax after weight loss. As a result, Plastic Surgeons like myself who specialize in Post-Bariatric Plastic Surgery lift and tuck all these areas, including the arms.
The tailoring of excess skin is an important component of Cosmetic Plastic Surgery, and can dramatically improve appearance. If you have lost a large amount of weight, removing the excess skin can help complete your transformation.
