An arm lift, medically known as a brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove unwanted excess skin and fat from the upper arms. It aims to adjust the shape of the upper arm by removing excess skin and fat, addressing redundant skin that often results from significant weight loss, natural aging, or genetic factors.
The primary targeted area for an arm lift is the upper arm, specifically the region between the underarm and the elbow. Surgical treatment may involve tightening the skin, removing excess fat if appropriate, and reshaping the underlying tissue to change the contour of the arm.
Other names for the procedure include:
Brachioplasty: This is the medical term for the procedure, and it’s often used interchangeably with “arm lift.”
Upper arm lift: Another term that more specifically pinpoints the area of focus for the surgery.
Arm reduction surgery: This phrase emphasises the reduction of skin and, in some cases, fat from the upper arms.
