Stronger arms after weight loss or with age.
Removal of excess skin from the arms with a structured incision. Brachioplasty is the "bat wings" procedure - for patients who have lost significant weight or whose skin has become loose with age.
Brachioplasty (arm lift).
Brachioplasty removes excess skin and fat from the arms. The types:
- Mini-brachioplasty - for minor concerns; a short incision in the armpit
- Standard - incision from the armpit to the elbow
- Extended - combined with an underarm lift for post-bariatric patients
Often combined with liposuction for better contouring.
