Arm Lift
Arm lift surgery to reshape the upper arms and address excess skin
Arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, is designed to remove excess skin and tissue from the upper arms where contour concerns are more significant.
It is typically considered where skin laxity extends beyond what can be effectively addressed through liposuction or skin tightening technologies alone.
Comprehensive Arm Reshaping
Addressing more advanced upper arm laxity
Upper arm contour can be significantly affected by ageing, weight fluctuations or previous weight loss, leading to loose skin and broader tissue excess.
Where these concerns are more advanced, arm lift surgery may provide a more appropriate correction than liposuction with Vaser and Renuvion.
Treatment planning focuses on improving arm contour while carefully considering scar placement, tissue quality and overall upper body proportion.
What Arm Lift Can Address
Excess skin, tissue laxity and broader upper arm reshaping
Arm lift surgery may be considered where upper arm contour concerns are too advanced for liposuction-based approaches alone.
Broader tissue excess
Addressing more significant upper arm fullness and laxity.
Post-weight loss changes
Improving contour after substantial weight change.
Upper arm proportion
Creating smoother upper arm balance with surrounding body contours.
