Houston Arm Lift Surgeons | Premier Brachioplasty Houston

An Arm Lift helps to remove excess skin off the upper arms for a slimmer, sleeker contour.

What is an Arm Lift(Brachioplasty)

An Arm Lift is a surgical procedure that treats excess skin of the upper arm and axillary regions. At The Oaks Plastic Surgery (TOPS), our patients often complain of excess skin of this area after weight loss or with age. As with many plastic surgical procedures, the surgical technique used to address this area depends on the severity of the excess skin. In mild cases, certain non-surgical or minimally invasive procedures can be performed to help tighten and lift the excess skin and fatty tissue. In other cases, either a short scar or an extended scar procedure is required to achieve maximum results. Extensive measures are taken by Dr. Danielle Andry and Dr. Nandi Wijay to conceal these scars as best as possible and use aggressive scar management techniques to keep the scars as light and inconspicuous as possible.

Why to have an Arm Lift at The Oaks Plastic Surgery in Houston, Texas?

Many of our patients who have undergone massive weight loss or have developed excess arm skin with age are very self-conscious about this area. They complain that clothes don’t fit correctly, they are unable to wear short sleeves, and can have hygiene issues as well. Some patients simply desire a sleeker, tighter looking arm. An arm lift can help you achieve this sleek contour and feel better about your arms in clothing with or without sleeves.

What procedures are often performed along with an Arm Lift?
