Arm Lift Boston (Brachioplasty)
An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure to remove loose skin and excess fat deposits in the upper arm.
With age, upper arm skin can become loose and flabby. Brachioplasty is for patients who want to tighten this skin and look as good as they feel. In some cases, liposuction may be used alone or in conjunction with an arm lift to remove excess fat in the upper arms.

Results may vary.
Optimal candidates for brachioplasty are individuals who desire to remove excessive sagging skin on the upper arm. An arm lift is a good surgical procedure for people who have lost a significant amount of weight either from lifestyle changes or surgery and have a significant amount of loose and hanging upper arm skin.
WHAT IS THE SURGICAL PROCESS FOR A BRACHIOPLASTY?
The exact procedure will be determined at your initial consultation at which time you will be able to ask all of your questions. Choice of anesthesia will also be determined based on what is best for you but can be anywhere from a local anesthesia to intravenous sedation or general anesthesia.
Sagging skin in the upper arms is treated with an incision from the underarm area extending along the inside of the upper arm. Additional incisions may be necessary anywhere excess skin has formed sagging pockets.
Following your surgery, dressings or bandages may be applied to your incisions, and your arms may be wrapped in an elastic bandage or a compression garment to minimize swelling.
WHAT IS THE RECOVERY PROCESS AFTER ARM LIFT SURGERY?
The smoother, tighter contours that result from upper arm contouring are apparent almost immediately, although initially obscured by swelling and bruising. In addition, skin quality is dramatically improved in both appearance and texture. The results of arm lift surgery will be long-lasting, provided that you maintain a stable weight and general fitness.*
