Join Dr. Erick Sanchez in the operating room as he performs a bilateral brachioplasty on a weight loss patient. Arm lift surgery is a combination of advanced cosmetic skin tightening and liposuction techniques used to eliminate excess skin and fat deposits from the upper arm. In order to lift the upper arm skin, an incision is typically made from under the elbow along the inner arm to the upper arm. Dr. Erick Sanchez may use a grouping of techniques for greater success.
