Brachioplasty
There are numerous plastic surgery procedures available for a variety of parts of the body, and the upper arms are no exception. An arm lift, also called a brachioplasty, is a procedure used to tighten the skin of the upper arms and remove the excess. This makes them appear trim and fit.
A buildup of blood or other fluid post-surgery could lead to a seroma, so after the arm lift operation, the plastic surgeon may place tiny tubes in the area. These tubes will help with the draining of fluids. They’re usually removed the day after the surgical procedure.
