Learn what an arm lift involves, who it’s for, and how to know whether it might be the right fit for your goals.
What Is an Arm Lift?
An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, reshapes the upper arm by removing extra skin and fat to create a more toned appearance. The procedure is often done on an outpatient basis. Dr. Yates offers no-intubation, rapid recovery anesthesia options, which many patients find more comfortable and easier to bounce back from.
Arm Lift Candidates
An arm lift could be right for you if you:
- Have loose or sagging skin between your elbow and armpit
- Have lost a significant amount of weight
- Are bothered by excess skin that does not improve with diet or exercise
- Are in generally good health and do not smoke
- Have realistic expectations about the outcome
Many of Dr. Yates’ patients come in after working hard to improve their health and fitness but feel like their arms just don’t match the rest of their progress.
Should I Get an Arm Lift?
Even if you are technically a candidate, you may still wonder if you should go through with an arm lift. First, consider how much this issue affects your day-to-day life. Do you avoid certain outfits? Do you feel like your arms don’t match the rest of your body? An arm lift could be the solution.
The best way to know for sure is to meet with a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Yates, who can assess your needs and walk you through your options in detail.
