Arm Lift in Newport Beach by Donald S Mowlds, MD
Arm Lift Surgery in Newport Beach
Brachioplasty & Arm Contouring
Dr. Donald S Mowlds specializes in arm contouring procedures including:
- Brachioplasty (Arm Lift)
- Liposuction / Lipocontouring
- Renuvion® Skin Tightening
These procedures address poor upper arm aesthetics caused by weight loss and age-related skin laxity. Brachioplasty surgically removes excess skin and fat to restore an aesthetically pleasing arm contour. Liposuction is often used concurrently for circumferential transformation.
Minimally-Invasive Options
For patients with minimal to moderate fat excess or skin laxity, liposuction/lipocontouring with or without Renuvion® skin tightening offers impressive results without extensive scarring. Lipocontouring can be customized to create feminine or masculine arm contours.
Renuvion® Skin Tightening
Renuvion® is a revolutionary device that delivers helium plasma and radiofrequency energy beneath the skin for precise tightening. It heats tissue to the optimal 85°C while allowing rapid cooling to protect surrounding structures. Renuvion® can tighten skin up to 65%, unmatched by other devices.
The Arm Lift Procedure
Dr. Mowlds restores contour and definition to the upper arm through precise fat and/or skin removal. Minimally-invasive lipocontouring may be used to sculpt the arm, creating aesthetically pleasing shadows for a feminine or masculine appearance.
