Upper Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) is a surgical procedure to remove loose skin and excess fat deposits in the upper arm. With age, upper arm skin can become loose and flabby. Upper arm lift surgery is best suited for people who are in relatively good shape but have loose upper arm skin or have a significant amount of upper arm fat which will not respond to dieting or exercise.

An incision is made from the elbow to the armpit, along the interior area of each arm, and excess skin and fat is removed. Drainage tubes are inserted if necessary. Incisions are sutured closed using the best technique for minimal scaring.
