An arm lift, or brachioplasty, corrects sagging skin on the inner arms when non-surgical solutions are no longer sufficient. During the consultation, my role is to assess the condition of your skin, the presence of any associated excess fat, and your expectations in order to recommend the most appropriate approach. The goal is to restore firmer, more harmonious arms, with a natural and proportionate result.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Brachioplasty, also known as an arm lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to correct sagging skin on the inner arms. Over time, the skin can lose its firmness and develop excess skin that may be visible when the arms are moved or raised.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

This relaxation can occur in various situations:<\/span><\/p>

  • as the skin ages naturally<\/span><\/li>
  • after significant weight loss<\/span><\/li>
  • following bariatric surgery<\/span><\/li>
  • after repeated weight fluctuations<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    When the skin loses its ability to retract, non-surgical treatments are generally insufficient to correct excess skin. In these cases, an arm lift can provide a lasting improvement in the contour of the arms.<\/span><\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    The goal of the procedure is to achieve firmer, more shapely arms that are better proportioned to the body.<\/span><\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    In Paris, Dr. Alexandre Vairinho offers personalized care following a comprehensive morphological analysis to determine the most appropriate technique for each patient.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    A brachioplasty involves removing excess skin from the inner side of the arm and tightening the underlying tissues to improve the shape and contour of the arm.<\/span><\/p>

    The procedure corrects the appearance sometimes described as \u201cdrooping arms\u201d or \u201csagging arms,\u201d which is particularly noticeable when the arms are raised.<\/span><\/p>

    The goal of the surgery is to achieve a natural and proportionate result, taking into account the patient's overall body type.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    A brachioplasty involves several surgical procedures that may be combined depending on the patient\u2019s anatomy and the extent of skin laxity.<\/span><\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    The intervention may include, among other things:<\/span><\/p>

    • the removal of excess skin on the inner side of the arm<\/span><\/li>
    • skin tightening, which helps restore a more toned appearance<\/span><\/li>
    • additional liposuction when there is also excess fat<\/span><\/li>
    • contouring of the upper arm to achieve a more harmonious silhouette<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

      \u00a0<\/p>

      The technique used is tailored to each patient, based on:<\/span><\/p>

      • the amount of excess skin<\/span><\/li>
      • skin quality<\/span><\/li>
      • the possible presence of excess fat<\/span><\/li>
      • of the desired result<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

        \u00a0<\/p>

        The goal is to achieve firmer, more shapely arms that complement your figure.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

        Like any skin-removal surgery, a brachioplasty results in a scar.<\/span><\/p>

        \u00a0<\/p>

        It is most often located on the inner side of the arm, in an area that is relatively inconspicuous when the arms are at rest.<\/span><\/p>

        \u00a0<\/p>

        Depending on the degree of skin laxity, the scar may:<\/span><\/p>

        • remain confined to the armpit in mild cases<\/span><\/li>
        • extend along the inner side of the arm, from the armpit toward the elbow, when there is a larger amount of excess skin<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

          \u00a0<\/p>

          The length of the scar therefore depends directly on the amount of skin to be removed.<\/span><\/p>

          \u00a0<\/p>

          Over time, the scar gradually fades, although it remains permanent. How it heals depends on several factors, including skin quality and post-operative care.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

          The process of undergoing an arm lift (brachioplasty) begins with a specialized consultation to assess the shape of the arms and the extent of skin laxity.<\/span><\/p>

          \u00a0<\/p>

          During this consultation, a clinical examination is performed to assess skin quality, the extent of excess skin, and the possible presence of associated excess fat. This evaluation helps determine the most appropriate surgical technique and establish realistic goals for the procedure.<\/span><\/p>

          \u00a0<\/p>

          You will receive detailed medical information and a personalized quote, in accordance with the legal cooling-off period. Medical photographs may be taken to facilitate preoperative analysis and monitoring of results.<\/span><\/p>

          \u00a0<\/p>

          Before the procedure, a preoperative evaluation is ordered and a consultation with the anesthesiologist is scheduled.<\/span><\/p>

          \u00a0<\/p>

          A brachioplasty is performed in a clinic under general anesthesia. The procedure involves removing excess skin from the inner arms to tighten the tissues and reshape their contours. When necessary, liposuction may be performed at the same time to improve the contour of the arms.<\/span><\/p>

          \u00a0<\/p>

          The procedure typically lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours, depending on the extent of skin laxity and the procedures involved.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
