Arm Lift

 

 

Overview of Arm Lift

 

Another name for arm lift is brachioplasty. It is a procedure used to remove loose, saggy skin of the upper arm. Typically, it is most useful in patients who have undergone significant weight loss and are left with hanging skin that has lost its ability to shrink. It can also be used in older people whose skin is unusually inelastic and has become loose for reasons other than weight loss.

 

Dr. Cruise performs the arm lift in one two-part procedure. The first component is removal of excess skin along the inside of the upper arm and within the armpit. The second part is a suspension of the underlying tissues so that sagging is less likely to reoccur. It should be mentioned that this procedure is not for everybody as it tends to leave a thick, noticeable scar along the inside of the upper arm. Therefore, as with any procedure, you must weigh the pros and cons before you make a decision. This decision will be made much easier during consultation with Dr. Cruise and CPS. Ultimately, you must be willing to accept a long scar on the inside part of your arm (the part that is not usually seen) as a tradeoff for removal of the hanging skin.
