ARM LIFT
Upper Arm Lift Surgery (Brachioplasty) in Charleston, WV – Get Rid of Sagging Arms & Excess Skin
Are you struggling with loose, sagging skin on your upper arms that won’t tighten despite exercise and a healthy diet? Whether due to significant weight loss or aging, excess skin from the elbow to the upper arm is a common concern. At Charleston Surgical Arts, we offer upper arm lift surgery (brachioplasty) to help you achieve toned, sculpted, and firmer arms.
What is an Arm Lift?
An arm lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove loose skin and stubborn fat from the upper arms, resulting in tighter, more youthful-looking contours. If you have “bat wings” or flabby upper arms, a brachioplasty can reshape and define your arms, helping you feel more confident in sleeveless tops and dresses.
