Arm Lift & Arm Contouring
About Arm Lift Surgery
Arm lift surgery, less commonly referred to as brachioplasty surgery, is a cosmetic surgery procedure done to reshape and contour the underarm portion of the upper arm, the area between the elbow and the shoulder. Most often, but not always, this cosmetic procedure is considered by people who have lost a considerable amount of weight and now have hanging or sagging skin in this area.
Procedure Details
Arm lift surgery is an outpatient surgery and generally takes 2 -3 hours to complete. Pain following an arm lift procedure is minimal and can be controlled. It is not uncommon to have temporary sensation loss in the armpit or upper arm area. Our surgeons recommend taking approximately 1 week off work during arm lift recovery.
