McRae Plastic Surgery

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that:

      Reduces excess sagging skin that droops downward

      Tightens and smoothes the underlying supportive tissue that                     defines the shape of the upper arm

      Reduces localized pockets of fat in the upper arm region

 

Fluctuations in weight, growing older and heredity can cause your upper arms to have a drooping, sagging appearance. This is a condition that cannot be corrected through exercise.

 

Arm lift surgery may be right for you if the underside of your upper arms are sagging or appear loose and full due to excess skin and fat.

 

An arm lift is a highly individualized procedure. You should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else's desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image.

​

In general, arm lift candidates include:

      Adults with significant upper arm skin laxity

      Adults of any age whose weight is relatively stable and who are                 not significantly overweight

      Healthy individuals without medical conditions that impair                          healing or increase risk of surgery

      Individuals with a positive outlook and realistic expectations
