Answer: Can a brachioplasty incision be done under armpit if the arms just require a lift to tighten the loose skin Thank you for your question. An examination is needed to answer your question to evaluate the degree of skin laxity. If you have proximal arm laxity, then a mini would be an option. If you have laxity throughout the entire upper arm then a full brachioplasty is the best option. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Best wishes.

Answer: Trans-axillary Brachioplasty A variety of treatment options are available to treat loose saggy skin of the upper arms. It's important to tailor these procedures to meet the patient's aesthetic goals and address their anatomic findings.When loose skin is confined to the upper arm near the axilla, arm lift procedures can occasionally be performed through an axillary incision. This approach hides the incision in the depths of the armpit and can significantly improve arm contour. With appropriate patient selection, this procedure is associated with excellent clinical results and high levels of patient satisfaction.If you're considering this type of procedure, it's appropriate to consult a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this area. This surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses your anatomic findings and achieves your aesthetic goals.

Answer: Arm lift options Thank you for your question. With age and/or weight changes, the upper arms can hold a lot of excess fatty tissue and develop skin laxity. An arm lift procedure helps to contour the upper arms by reducing excess skin and fat. The incisions can be hidden in the armpit for those with a moderate degree of laxity or along the vertical length of the upper and inner arm for those with more skin excess. The results are extremely satisfying. I would recommend that you visit with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss your options in more detail.
