Do you have excess skin under your arms that causes you to feel self-conscious? Do you find that you constantly wear long-sleeved tops because you don’t want your arms to be on show?
You’re not alone. A lot of people feel this way about their arms, as it is one of the most difficult parts of the body to tone.

What Does Brachioplasty Treat?
Brachioplasty is a safe and effective treatment that has been designed to get rid of excess skin around the arm area, making them look firmer and smoother and enhancing their overall appearance. In cases that are deemed mild, the arm lift can be performed with local anesthesia and techniques that are less-invasive. In cases that are more advanced, general anesthesia may be needed.

Arms are part of the body whereby flabbiness can become very visible, and a lot of females end up developing a complex about it. This is where an arm lift comes in.
There are many different benefits that are associated with this treatment, including the following:
- Excess skin and fat around the arms will be removed. This can create a more desirable appearance, helping to boost your confidence.
- Change the shape and tone of your arms. Your arms will appear a lot more toned and lean.
