Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) in Baton Rouge, LA

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess, sagging skin and fatty tissue from the upper arm, spanning from the armpit to the elbow. This transformative procedure addresses aesthetic concerns resulting from aging, significant weight loss, or hormonal changes.

Candidacy for Arm Lift Surgery

Patients may consider an arm lift due to several factors:

• Loose skin from natural aging process
• Skin excess following substantial weight loss
• Fat deposits related to hormonal changes
• Desire to improve upper arm contour and appearance
