Reducing Excess Skin of the Upper Arms with Los Angeles Arm Lift

Sagging skin in the upper arm region is often enough to keep a person from wearing short sleeves or sleeveless tops. While sagging skin can effect both men and women, it is women who let the appearance of their arms dictate what they wear. Using brachioplasty or arm lift, Dr. Gross can restore your confidence in your appearance.

Los Angeles arm lift surgery is used to remove excess skin from the area of the arm between the arm pit and the elbow. Sagging skin in this area is often the result of significant weight loss but may also be genetic. In some cases, Dr. Gross may use liposuction to remove pockets of fat before removing excess skin.

If you are unhappy with the appearance of your arms and would like to discuss your cosmetic surgery options, contact our office to schedule your consultation with board certified plastic surgeon Dr. John Gross.
