About Arm Lift

Brachioplasty removes excess upper-arm skin and fat.

Upper-arm skin removal

The official arm lift page describes brachioplasty as removal of excess upper-arm skin and fat. It discusses concerns associated with weight changes and aging, including hanging skin and irritation. The operation differs from liposuction alone because the plan may include removal of the loose skin itself.

Balancing contour and scar placement

Ask the surgeon to identify the extent of loose skin and explain where the proposed incision would run. If liposuction is added, clarify what it contributes and which areas it covers. Review the likely effect on everyday tasks that use the arms, including dressing, lifting and physical work. Photographs can help the discussion, but check the procedure performed and the time since surgery before comparing a scar or contour.

• Would liposuction be included with skin removal?
