Arm Surgery
Have you lost a lot of weight and now you have skin that just seems to swing on your arm like a pendulum? If you answered yes, then you should know that there is a cosmetic arm surgery for you called an arm lift or brachioplasty that can help you feel and look better.
Looking and feeling better are important, but arm surgery does have one disadvantage, there are scars that reach from your armpit to your elbow, along the inside of your arm. So you get rid of the loose skin, but you will have scars. But most people would rather live with the scars then the flabby, sagging skin.
Arm lift surgery, called brachioplasty, minimizes or removes loose, sagging skin from the upper segment of your arm creating a more pleasing and toned arm appearance. If you've lost a lot of weight, then an arm lift may be just what you need to enhance your new look, but if you don't have loose skin, just excess fat, then you should consider liposuction instead.

• Typical costs $3-$8000 depending on what you want done.
