Arm skin laxity after Mounjaro weight loss

This patient sought treatment after significant weight loss with Mounjaro. Her goal was to improve the contour of her upper arms and reduce the excess skin and laxity that remained after losing weight.

The concern was the loose skin and the shape of her arms following weight loss. Her surgical plan focused on the upper arms, with the aim of creating a more defined contour through skin removal and reshaping.

Full brachioplasty

Dr. Smith performed a full brachioplasty, also called an arm lift. The procedure addressed the excess upper-arm skin and reshaped the remaining skin envelope. A full arm lift involves an incision along the upper arm, so the contour improvement is considered together with the resulting scar during surgical planning.
