Say goodbye to loose, drooping skin under the arms and reveal a firmer, more toned upper arm contour.
Dramatic weight loss, fluctuations in weight, and the effects of aging on the skin can cause fat deposits and loose skin to droop and hang under the arms. This “bat-wing” effect can be distressing and embarrassing, particularly when the loose hanging tissue flops or dangles when you wave or perform other ordinary actions. Patients often feel self-conscious about this appearance and may try to hide their arms by wearing long-sleeved shirts year-round or when exercising at the gym. With an arm lift, Washington, DC, patients are freeing themselves of their 'bat-wing' once and for all.
Arm lift surgery is designed to correct this problem in the upper arms. In an arm lift, or brachioplasty, fat is removed, and loose skin is tightened to reshape the contours of the upper arm. The result is a fitter, more toned, and proportionate appearance that can boost your self-confidence and expand your fashion choices.
