What Is an Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)?
An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a body contouring procedure designed to remove sagging skin and excess fat from the upper arms. It’s ideal for patients who have experienced major weight loss or natural skin laxity with age. Dr. Gargya places a discreet incision along the inner arm to lift, tighten, and recontour the area — delivering smooth, sculpted results with an emphasis on proportion and symmetry.
