Understanding Brachioplasty: Arm Lift Surgery in Newport Beach
Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a transformative surgical procedure designed to address excess, hanging skin in the upper arm region. Ideal for patients who have experienced significant weight loss, this procedure helps restore confidence by creating a more contoured and toned arm appearance.
