assessment focuses on understanding individual concerns about upper
arm skin laxity and fat distribution, enabling a personalized surgical

brachioplasty under general anesthesia. The procedure involves
carefully removing excess skin and fat while tightening underlying
supportive tissue to create a smoother, more contoured arm appearance.

optimal healing. Patients receive guidance on wearing compression
garments, managing discomfort, and gradually resuming normal
activities.

POTENTIAL OUTCOMES
