Upper Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
Brachioplasty is a surgical procedure that is used to help remove the excess skin and fatty tissue from the axilla and upper arm. There are a variety of different techniques for brachioplasty and they can be combined with other forms of body-contouring surgery, including suction-assisted lipectomy, or other elective surgeries. Brachioplasty is not a surgical treatment for being overweight. Obese individuals who intend to lose weight should postpone all forms of body-contouring surgery until they have reached a stable weight.
