Arm Lift
An arm lift, also known as a brachioplasty, removes excess, sagging skin and fatty tissue from the upper arm from armpit to elbow.
You may have loose skin as a result of the normal aging process or from weight loss. Post-menopausal women may develop fat deposits in the area resulting from the hormonal changes.
Dr. Chiasson will listen to your concerns, perform an examination, and educate you on which of the various arm lift techniques best suits your condition and goals. Lesser degrees of skin excess can be treated through smaller incisions in the armpits. More severe sagging will require longer incisions.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient. Compressive garments are applied. You can expect bruising, swelling, and a short period of discomfort. You will see an immediate improvement at your first postoperative visit.
Let’s work together.
