Procedure to improve heavy arms. Heavy upper arms are usually caused from the increased volume associated with weight gain. After weight loss the skin of your upper arms often fails to tighten, so it sags . The result is loose upper arm skin. To improve this problem is to undergo an arm lift, also called Brachioplasty.

Liposuction is done to reduce the fat bulk [ if present] and loose excess skin is removed by incision in the armpit [ axilla ], usually not a big scar [ mildly nociable initially] which after softening in 3-6 months becomes least noticeable.

Operation is done under anesthesia, general, or , local with sedation.; in 80-100 min.

Patient can go back home same evening. Compression garment and dressings will be given, to be removed in 5-7 days.
