Overview

What is a Arm Lift?

The Procedure

What does the procedure involve?

Removes excess skin and, when appropriate, fatty tissue from the upper arm and reshapes the contour. The incision is usually placed along the inner or posterior aspect of the arm so that the scar is as concealed as possible.

Candidacy

Who is a suitable candidate?

Patients with excess or loose skin of the upper arms, commonly following significant weight loss or with age-related skin laxity, who want a more defined arm contour. Patients should ideally be at or near a stable weight.
