Arm Lifts (Brachioplasty) Before and After Pictures by David B. Reath, M.D.

In this day and age, more and more people are wanting to be healthy and lose weight. However, not all of us can effectively lose the weight by exercise and dieting alone. Many people opt for bariatric surgery, which helps the patient effectively lose mass amounts of body weight fast. Unfortunately, the majority of us do not have elastic skin that will bounce back to contour the shape of our bodies. Age also aids in the process of sagging skin, particularly, in the upper arms. Often the solution is an arm skin tightening procedure known as arm lifts (brachioplasty).

The extra fat under you arms and around the armpit area can become very resistant to diet and exercise, and may be impossible to hide when you are wearing strapless tops and tight-fitting shirts. Fortunately, there are some cosmetic surgery procedures available that can help to get rid of armpit fat for good, and most do not require a lot of downtime. You can be in and out of the doctor’s office within a few hours when you get liposuction or other fat removal procedures, and these are typically performed under local anesthesia.
