An upper arm lift can remove excess skin and fat deposits. An incision extends from the elbow to the underarm, and sometimes to the side of the chest. In some instances liposuction may be used alone or in conjunction with an arm lift to remove the excess fat. The result leaves the upper arms with a more pleasing youthful contour.

You are a candidate for this procedure if the upper skin of your arm is loose and flabby, due to aging or massive weight loss.
