What is a Brachioplasty?
Brachioplasty, also known as an arm lift procedure, is a cosmetic surgery designed to correct sagging skin and restore skin tightness due to aging, weight loss, or genetics. This skin tightening procedure removes excess skin and stubborn fat to restore a smoother, more toned appearance to the arms.
