Arm Lift

Patient Description

This 33 year old mother of 3 lost over 100 pounds after 3 caesarian sections and a gastric sleeve procedure. She previously underwent a corrective tummy tuck with thigh lift, breast augmentation and breast lift. She returned three years later to correct her arm laxity but did not want the long arm scar required by a traditional arm lift or brachiopasty. By using VASERlipo and an axillary brachioplasty, Dr. Mizgala was able to contour and tighten her arms while hiding the scar entirely within her armpit. This was very important to this young lady who had some friends who scarred poorly after traditional brachioplasty.

This patient did not like her saggy arms after weight loss but did not want a long arm scar at her young age. Note that with an axillary armlift, the scar is tucked into the armpit.
