Brachioplasty
Restore Confidence in Your Arm Shape
Brachioplasty addresses loose, hanging skin of the upper arms that often cannot be improved through exercise alone.
Weight loss, aging, and genetic factors can all contribute to excess skin along the upper arms. Even patients who maintain a healthy lifestyle may find that these concerns persist despite regular exercise.
Dr Mo performs brachioplasty to create a smoother, firmer arm contour while maintaining natural proportions. His approach prioritizes balanced results that complement the rest of the body.

Reshaping and Refining the Upper Arms
Brachioplasty removes excess skin and, when appropriate, excess fat from the upper arms. The procedure is designed to improve arm definition and create a more toned appearance.
Dr Mo carefully plans incision placement and tissue removal to achieve the best possible contour while minimizing unnecessary tension. Every procedure is tailored to the patient's anatomy and goals.
Patients Seeking Improved Arm Contours
Brachioplasty is ideal for individuals with loose or sagging skin of the upper arms, often resulting from significant weight loss, aging, or natural skin laxity.
Patients who are at a stable weight and seeking a more defined arm appearance may benefit from this procedure. Dr Mo works closely with each patient to determine whether an arm lift is the right solution.

Any Questions?
What causes excess arm skin?
Excess skin often develops after significant weight loss, aging, or reduced skin elasticity that cannot be corrected through exercise alone.
Will brachioplasty remove fat as well?
In some cases, liposuction may be combined with brachioplasty to improve contour and create a smoother overall result.
Will a brachioplasty leave scars?
Yes. Incisions are necessary to remove excess skin, but Dr Mo carefully places them to achieve the best balance between contour improvement and scar visibility.
How long is recovery?
Most patients return to normal daily activities within one to two weeks, though full healing and swelling resolution take longer.
Is brachioplasty a weight-loss procedure?
No. Brachioplasty is a contouring procedure designed to remove excess skin and improve arm shape, not to produce significant weight loss.
How long do results last?
Results are generally long-lasting, especially when patients maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle following surgery.
