Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
Serving Kansas City & Lee's Summit, Missouri
Fluctuations in weight, aging, and even genetics can cause your upper arms to develop a drooping, sagging appearance.
While exercise may strengthen and improve the underlying muscle tone of the upper arm, it cannot address excess skin that has lost its elasticity.
If the underside of your upper arms are sagging or appear loose due to excess skin and fat, talk to brachiaplasty surgeon Dr. Chhatre at the Summit Plastic Surgery & Med Spa to see if an arm lift, or brachioplasty, may be right for you.
To perform the arm lift, Dr. Chhatre will perform surgery to reshape the under portion of the upper arm, from the armpit region to the elbow. The procedure is useful to:
- Reduce excess sagging skin that droops downward
- Tighten and smooth the underlying supportive tissue that defines the shape of the upper arm
- Reduce stubborn pockets of fat in the upper arm region
- Result in a more toned and youthful appearance
Good candidates for an arm lift are those who have:
- Noticeable upper arm skin laxity
- Relatively stable weight and who are not significantly overweight
- Good health and no medical conditions that can impair healing or increase risk of surgery
- A positive outlook and realistic expectations
