Brachioplasty, also known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance of sagging or loose skin on the upper arm. This condition is often referred to as “bat wings.”
Steps Of Brachioplasty:
Incision: The surgeon makes an incision along the inner side of the arm, typically from the armpit to the elbow.
Tissue Removal: This involves removing excess skin and fat.
Closure: The incision is closed with sutures or surgical tape.
Advantages Of Brachioplasty:
Improved Arm Contour: By removing excess skin and fat, the arms can appear more toned and contoured.
Enhanced Self-Confidence: An aesthetically pleasing appearance can boost self-esteem.
Addressing The Effects Of Aging: As we age, skin can lose its elasticity, leading to sagging and wrinkles.
Brachioplasty can also be performed in combination with liposuction.
It is important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to thoroughly discuss both the patient’s goals and medical history, and determine the optimal outcome for the surgical procedure.
