Arm lift surgery is scientifically known as “Brachioplasty.” It is a kind of plastic surgery conducted primarily to get rid of excess fat in the arms and tighten the sagged and loose skin. With this surgery, the plastic surgeon also removes excess weight or fat in the skin that may result in an irregular shape of the arms with the rest of the upper body or distort the aesthetic of the arms. The arm lift surgery is conducted under general anesthesia.
Many reasons can lead to arms sagging, such as aging, severe obesity followed by weight loss, medical conditions, and eating many unhealthy foods that allow fat to accumulate in different areas of the body. Hormonal causes may also lead to sagging in the upper arms, such as increased estrogen in women during pregnancy and childbirth.
