An arm lift, also called brachioplasty, addresses loose skin along the upper arm between the underarm and elbow. It may also involve reducing local fat and reshaping supporting tissue. Changes after weight loss and ageing can leave skin that does not respond to exercise alone. The amount and position of loose skin guide the approach and scar pattern. Your consultation should balance the desired contour change against permanent scars, healing considerations and the support needed during your individual recovery.
