Brachioplasty, also known as an arm lift, is a highly effective surgical procedure for improving the appearance, firmness, and shape of the arms. Wondering how it works and if it’s right for you? Keep reading to discover everything you need to know about this cosmetic treatment.
What is brachioplasty? It’s a surgery designed to remove excess skin and fat from the arms, resulting in a firmer, more toned appearance. This excess skin and adipose tissue can accumulate due to factors such as aging, loss of skin elasticity, or significant changes in body weight.
There are two main types of brachioplasty: simple brachioplasty and brachioplasty with axillary and thoracic extension. The former is suitable for younger patients with skin laxity limited to the inner arms, while the latter is recommended for older patients with excess skin extending into the submammary and thoracic area.
The brachioplasty procedure typically lasts between 1 and 2 hours and can be performed under general or local anesthesia. During surgery, an incision is made near the armpit to access the excess skin and fat, which is then removed to achieve a more sculpted and harmonious appearance with the body. After surgery, it’s common for patients to need to wear a compression garment on the arms for several weeks to aid in recovery.
