A surgical option for excess skin on the upper arms.
What is brachioplasty?
Brachioplasty removes excess skin and fat from the arms. It aims to reshape an area where skin has lost firmness and does not respond sufficiently to changes in routine.
Assessing excess skin
Loss of firmness may be associated with age, weight loss or individual characteristics. Consultation determines suitability, the extent of correction and incision placement for your situation.
Compression and recovery
A compression sleeve may be recommended during recovery. The incision is generally placed towards the inner arm. Scar appearance changes over time, and care is agreed with your surgeon.
