Arm Lift
An arm lift, also known as a brachioplasty, reshapes your arm to result in a more toned appearance in which the skin and underlying tissue fit the contour of the arm more proportionately.
Defined Contour
Aging, hereditary factors and fluctuations in weight can all result in drooping, sagging upper arms. Exercise can improve the underlying muscle tone but it does not address excess skin, underlying weakened tissues or localized fat deposits.
An arm lift involves the reduction of fat tissue and skin between the elbow and underarm to give the arm a more proportionate and toned appearance. It also tightens the underlying supporting tissue that helps reshape the arm. During your consultation process with Dr. Turner, your expectations, desired outcomes, and possible options will be discussed in detail.
