At APS, we concentrate on helping our clients find a solution that fits their needs. Most of the time that starts with educating them about the procedures we offer. With this blog, we will explore brachioplasty and the benefits it can provide. Join us learning more about this fascinating procedure. 

What Is Brachioplasty 

The procedure known as a brachioplasty is commonly known as an arm lift. It is a surgery that reshapes the under portion of the upper arm region to the elbow. The goal of this procedure is to achieve smoother skin and a more attractive contour of the arm. This procedure can often be paired with liposuction to reduce any localized pockets of fat. The conditions treated with an arm lift are often a result of the loss of elasticity in the skin and underlying tissue of the upper arm. Significant weight loss, aging, or heredity factors can result in skin that has overstretched and loses the ability to retract and cannot be corrected by weight loss.   

Benefits of Brachioplasty 

The main goal is to reduce the excess sagging skin on the arm. You can also see the tightening and smoothing of the underlying tissue that shapes the arm. Plastic surgeons also find that this procedure helps individuals stay ahead of the natural aging process.   

  • Reduces excess sagging skin that droops downward 
  • Tightens and smooths the underlying supportive tissue that defines the shape of the upper arm 
  • Reduces localized pockets of fat in the upper arm region
