Understanding Brachioplasty: Arm Lift Procedure
Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and improve the appearance of the upper arms. Patients experiencing significant skin laxity or excess tissue can achieve more defined and toned arm contours through this targeted intervention.
Key Procedure Details
- Removes excess skin and fat from upper arms
- Addresses loose or sagging arm tissue
- Typically recommended after significant weight loss
- Improves overall arm proportion and aesthetic

Dr. Steve T. Vu implements a comprehensive surgical approach to brachioplasty. The procedure involves carefully removing excess skin and fat while strategically repositioning remaining tissue to create smoother, more refined arm contours.
Procedure Considerations

- Typically runs from elbow to armpit
- May include complementary liposuction for optimal results
- Customized technique based on patient's specific needs

Recovery Highlights
- Initial healing period of 2-3 weeks
