Arm Lift
4.7 /5 (1 Reviews)
Arm lift surgery, medically known as brachioplasty, reduces or removes loose, sagging skin from the upper arm to create a more attractive and toned arm appearance. Arm lifts are best for patients who have lost a lot of weight. When the concern is not loose skin, but excess fat, liposuction is usually the better option.
