  The primary method to tighten the skin of the upper arm and remove excess fat is called brachioplasty (arm lift). The most common way this is done is by utilizing liposuction, followed by an incision that extends from the armpit to the elbow located on the inner arm. This technique allows for maximum skin and fat removal. Variants of this technique may use a less extensive incision in cases where less skin and fat removal is necessary. Your cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Lundeby, will review your situation and recommend the appropriate incision type for you.
