Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) in McMurray, PA

Introduction to Brachioplasty

Brachioplasty, or an arm lift, is a transformative surgical procedure designed to contour and tighten loose skin around the upper arm. The technique involves creating a carefully concealed scar along the bicipital groove, extending from armpit to elbow, which reduces the visibility of saggy skin both horizontally and vertically.
