Arm Lift (Brachioplasty): Refine & Tone for Sculpted Arms
An arm lift (brachioplasty) is a body contouring procedure designed to tighten and reshape the upper arms by removing excess fat and sagging skin. Whether due to aging, weight loss, or genetics, Dr. Gregory LaTrenta offers tailored solutions to achieve smoother, more defined arms with natural, proportionate results.
Refining & Reshaping Upper Arm Contours
What is an Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)?
An arm lift is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat and loose skin, often referred to as "bat wings". This procedure is ideal for individuals who have lost significant weight, have age-related skin laxity, or struggle with stubborn fat deposits in the upper arms.
This procedure effectively:
- Eliminates sagging, drooping skin that causes an untoned appearance
- Removes excess fat through liposuction for a smoother contour
- Enhances overall body proportions by balancing arm definition
- Restores confidence in wearing sleeveless clothing
For patients with good skin elasticity, liposuction alone may be sufficient, while others may require a full arm lift to remove excess skin.
The Procedure: Precision & Tailored Techniques
Dr. LaTrenta personalizes each arm lift based on the patient’s skin elasticity, fat distribution, and desired outcome.
1. Liposuction for Upper Arm Fat Removal(For Patients with Good Skin Elasticity)
- Minimally invasive with two small incisions (one at the elbow, one in the armpit)
- Fat is removed via a thin cannula for contouring
- Ideal for those with excess fat but minimal skin laxity
2. Full Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) for Excess Skin Removal(For Patients with Sagging Skin)
- An incision is made along the inner arm to remove loose skin
- Underlying tissue is tightened for a firm, sculpted shape
- Performed under deep sedation for comfort
Dr. LaTrenta ensures that incisions are placed strategically to minimize visible scarring while delivering the best possible contouring results.
Procedure Time: Typically 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on the extent of correction.
