Brachioplasty

---

Brachioplasty restores a firmer, more defined arm contour by removing excess skin and

tightening underlying tissue. This procedure is especially beneficial after weight loss or

aging when skin laxity cannot be improved with exercise alone, improving overall arm

contour and proportion.

During consultation, your surgeon will assess skin laxity and determine the precise incision

placement required. The incision is strategically placed along the posterior aspect of the

arm, where the skin is stronger and incision aesthetics are most favorable, allowing for

optimal healing and minimal visibility. Consultation will also determine whether liposuction

alone can adequately correct the concern.

Recovery:

• 1 week resting at home

• Arm elevation is key to reducing swelling and optimizing healing

• Compression garments are worn to support healing and reduce swelling

• Full recovery at 6 weeks
