Our goal is to reduce your excess sagging and loose skin in the upper arm due to significant weight loss or loss of elasticity due to age. Brachioplasty accomplishes this by cutting away and removing the excess skin and tissue then suturing it to create a smooth, tight contour for a more firm, youthful appearance.

The procedure typically takes between 1 ½ and 2 hours.

In many cases, depending on the procedure, you will receive general anesthesia.

Your procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis but you may elect to spend the night at Comfort Cottage with a nurse available to help you.

You may experience some temporary discomfort and swelling. There will be a permanent scar.

All surgical procedures carry some risk which may include infection, bleeding or wider, thicker scarring.

You may return to your normal activities within 2 to 3 weeks.

Brachioplasty is usually permanent.

We make sure every procedure is uniquely tailored to provide you the best results. During your consultation you will receive specific information regarding your individual case. Your results will vary.
