Arm Reduction And Lift Surgery

As we age, the skin and flesh of our upper arms begin to sag, creating a loose "bag" of skin that hangs from the lower side of the arm when the arm is extended. This condition can also occur after substantial weight loss. It can be corrected by removing skin and fatty tissue.

An arm reduction is a cosmetic surgery procedure also known as brachioplasty, or an arm lift. Patients with heavy upper arms may simply have surplus subcutaneous fat, which can be effectively reduced by liposuction. Sometimes there is no fat, only loose hanging skin. In these cases, an arm reduction to remove the surplus skin is the most suitable treatment.
