Arm Lift
Many patients come to us unhappy with “chicken wings” under the arms. Often, treating this specific area with diet and exercise alone is not enough.
If you have lost a significant amount of weight, but can not seem to contour this area, KPS has a solution for you! We offer an arm lift, also called a brachioplasty, which removes excess skin and fat from the arms.
In this procedure, the excess skin is removed through an incision inside of the arm. This incision will work to tighten the surface of the arm resulting in a vastly improved appearance.
With the arm lift, you can go sleeveless without fear!
What it corrects:
- Excess skin and fat on the arms
