Brachioplasty removes excess skin and fat from the inner upper arm, leaving a scar usually from the armpit towards the elbow on the inner side. Mild laxity may be treated with liposuction or a short-scar technique.
Who is it for?
People with marked upper-arm laxity after weight loss or with age and a stable weight. Good elasticity with mainly fat may need liposuction alone.
Scar and technique
The scar is placed on the inner arm, least visible with the arms down. Short-scar techniques suit limited laxity near the armpit.
Recovery
Compression for several weeks; limited arm raising and lifting; desk work in 1–2 weeks.
Risks
Scar widening, delayed healing, fluid collection, sensory change and asymmetry.
Frequently asked questions
Is the scar visible?
Mostly hidden with arms down; visible when the arms are raised.
Can exercise fix loose skin?
It improves muscle tone but does not remove excess skin.
