An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that aims to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms and tighten the underlying tissues to create a more toned and youthful appearance.

A good candidate for an arm lift is someone who is in good overall health, has lost a significant amount of weight, and has excess skin and fat in the upper arms that do not respond to diet and exercise. It is also important that the candidate has realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery and is committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle after the procedure.

The ideal candidate for an arm lift should have stable body weight, be a non-smoker, and not have any medical conditions that may impair healing or increase the risk of complications. Patients should also be prepared for the significant scarring that may result from this surgery.
