Overview

Excessive deposits of skin and fat in the upper arm region (flabby arms) may need more than simple arm liposuction of the area to produce the desired change. An arm lift procedure, or brachioplasty, combines the use of liposuction with incisions in the inner arm and armpit to tighten the surrounding skin and produce slimmer more attractive arms.
