Arm Lifting (Brachialplasty)

Women and men who have loose upper arm skin and fat that is concentrated in the upper arm can benefit from excisional arm lipectomy (brachialplasty). Sometimes these conditions are inherited. In other instances, substantial weight loss may cause the upper arm skin to become flaccid.  Arm lifting also can tighten muscles that have been separated and weakened by age, weight loss or gain and pregnancy. The procedure may somewhat improve the appearance of stretch marks, especially those located in the upper arm.
