Answer: Arm lift Congratulations on your weight loss! Once you have achieved your goal weight and are able to maintain it you can consider proceeding with an arm lift. This will remove excess tissue and contour your upper arms so that they are more proportionate with the rest of your arm. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Answer: Am I a good candidate for an arm lift? Hello and congratulations on your weight loss. You look like a good candidate to have a Brachioplasty surgery if you have reached your weight loss goals. If you have reached your goals you would benefit from Brachioplasty with Lipo suction.

Answer: Arm lift candidate Hello, congratulations on your recent weight loss. In general, the best candidates for any type of body contouring surgery are at or near their goal weight and have had stable weight for 6+ months. That is to say, you should not plan on further significant weight loss after your contouring surgery, as this could compromise the aesthetic results with recurrent laxity. Also, your current BMI is 35.5. Many surgeons would recommend a BMI closer to 30 or below for improved safety with general anesthesia. You may still be able to have a brachioplasty (arm lift) safely and with good results despite this, so I recommend discussing this in person in consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.
