The upper arms are a common trouble spot, particularly for women. Through the natural aging process gravity can take hold and create a sagging appearance in the upper arms. Men and women who have undergone a significant weight loss also typically find they have excess, sagging skin in the upper arms. While diet and exercise can reduce fat and improve muscles tone, the only option for those with excess, sagging skin is Brachioplasty. Brachioplasty, or Scottsdale Arm Lift, is a procedure to remove the excess skin and/or fat of the upper arm to create a smoother, more toned appearance. It is important to understand that a Scottsdale Arm Lift does leave a scar on the inside of the upper arm, but for most patients that is a worth while trade off for more proportionate and toned looking arms.

A Scottsdale Arm Lift is sometimes performed as a stand-alone procedure and other times performed in combination with other body contouring procedures such as Liposuction or a Body Lift. Scottsdale Arm Lift may not be right for everyone, ideal candidates are in good mental and physical health, at a steady weight, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations for the procedure.
