Arm Lift Surgery | Bethesda MD, Washington DC, Virginia

Loose skin and fat in the arms can be a result of either weight loss or aging. Sagging arms can prevent you from fitting into the clothes you want forcing you to buy larger sizes or they can force you to wear long sleeve shirts in warm weather. This can be a source of considerable embarrassment and self consciousness for some people.

An arm lift, also known as a brachioplasty, can help contour your arms through the direct excision of excess skin and fat with or without liposuction. In certain patients, liposuction alone can be performed.

There are several techniques to help you obtain the arm contour you desire. During your consultation, Dr. Michaels will carefully listen to your concerns and tailor a treatment plan that will allow you to achieve your goals. Dr. Michaels is an expert in body contouring having completed one of the few fellowships dedicated to this specialized area of plastic surgery.
