Full Brachioplasty

After a major weight loss it can be difficult to get back in shape. No matter how hard you work at it, you may have certain areas that just don’t want to cooperate when it comes to all the hard work you’re putting in. Many people complain that their arms are the hardest to tone, and after weight loss the arms tend to have a lot of excess skin. This excess skin can also contribute to the size of your arms and even make you appear larger than you really are. If your arms are larger than you would like due to excess skin, you should consider receiving a Full Brachioplasty. This procedure will take all of the excess skin from your arms to reveal the truly toned shape that you’ve worked for.

Good Candidates for Full Brachioplasty

Everyone is not automatically a good candidate for Full Brachioplasty. Just because you are interested in removing excess skin doesn’t mean that is the best thing for you at this particular time. To be a good candidate for Full Brachioplasty, you need to have a good amount of elasticity left in the skin. If you don’t this procedure may not make a difference for you in the long run. Individuals receiving a Full Brachioplasty should have loose, sagging skin on the majority of their arm. Many times people mistake sagging skin for excessive amounts of fat underneath the skin because it can also make your arms appear to be saggy. If you are experiencing excess fat in your arms, you should look into liposuction instead of Brachioplasty, and in some circumstances you may benefit from Arms Liposuction and Brachioplasty performed in conjunction.

A Full Brachioplasty removes the excess skin from your upper and lower arm. If you only have sagging skin on the upper part of your arm around your armpit area you may only need a Modified Brachioplasty. You should be absolutely sure of your procedure before you move forward because Brachioplasty will definitely leave you with a noticeable scar. Individuals receiving a Full Brachioplasty will have one long scar running from their upper arm underneath their armpit possibly all the way down below your elbow. More experienced surgeons will be able to strategically place this scar where it will less likely be seen, but scarring is inevitable when undergoing a Full Brachioplasty.
