If sun season has left you anxious with the thought of spaghetti straps and swimsuits, a brachioplasty procedure is the answer to get you back to loving the look of summer.
The shape and contour of a woman’s arm tends to be one of the most envied parts of the body. A long, lean and sculpted arm has long been considered the peak of elegance. More recently made famous by A-list celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow, the quest towards attaining a well-toned arm has caused an influx of yoga and Pilates studios to pop-up with nearly as much frequency as your local Starbucks.
Unfortunately, the battle to achieve perfect arms is not easy. The fat and sagging skin that develops along the underside of the upper arm is most often a result of significant weight gain or weight loss, age, and/or simple genetics. Hanging skin and fat in this area can make it uncomfortable and embarrassing to wear sleeveless or short sleeve garments. The bad news is that it’s particularly difficult to shed fat on the underside of the arm, and even harder to sculpt. Despite diet and exercise, many women are left with the dreaded “bat wing,” but there is another way to achieve the arms of your dreams.
Arm lift surgery or brachioplasty is a procedure that will return shape and definition to the upper arms, creating results that are impossible to obtain through exercise. Surgical removal of fat and loose or stretched skin, can effectively eliminate “arm flab” and restore optimal contour to the upper arm. While a post-operative scar is unavoidable on the inner aspect of the upper arms, there is the option of a “short-scar” versus a “long-scar.” A short-scar allows for the incision to be hidden in the folds of the armpit, as opposed to a long-scar, which may extend the length of the underside of the upper arm. In either case, the scar is well hidden and can only be seen if the arm is raised, and will dramatically fade with time.
