Brachioplasty for Toned and Shapely Arms

Severe weight loss, aging or genetic factors can

cause sagging on the underside of the upper arms

that cannot be corrected even with rigorous

exercise. Arm lift surgery helps reduce this excess

skin and fat between the underarm and the elbow.

Also known as brachioplasty, this procedure helps to

lift, reshape and tighten up loose skin in the upper

arms.

According to statistics published by the American

Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the demand for

arm lifts performed has increased dramatically by as

much as 4,378 percent during the past decade. While

in 2000, more than 300 women had surgery to

reshape the upper arms, in 2012, more than 15,000

women did.

Women are being influenced by celebrities, with

many admiring first lady Michelle Obama’s toned

arms as well as those of actresses like Jennifer

Aniston, Jessica Biel and Demi Moore.

Loose skin in the upper arms following weight loss

may persist even with rigorous strength training. Arm

lift surgery removes the excess sagging skin and

localized fat deposits in the upper arms. It tightens

and smoothes the underlying supportive tissue that

defines the shape of the upper arms to provide a

toned look.

Arm lift surgery involves making incisions either on

the inner arm or on the back of the arm. The length

and pattern of the incision will be based on the total

amount of excess skin that needs to be removed.

In certain cases, the excess fat may be directly

excised or treated with liposuction. Reliable

plastic surgery centers uses advanced techniques

such as BodyTite™ RFAL (radiofrequency assisted

liposuction) to deliver effective results.

Results are usually noticeable immediately after

the surgery or within a few days. There may be

some bruising and swelling, which may take about

two to three weeks to heal.

The surgery leaves a scar on the inside of the

upper arm, running from the armpit to the elbow,

but it will fade with time. Choose a surgeon

experienced in performing arm lift surgery to enjoy

optimal results.
