Arm lifting
The arm-lifting is a lifting of the arm’s inner face (brachial dermolipectomy or brachioplasty). It sets out to remove excess skin and fat from the inner face of the arm where skin slackening is often present in spite of a healthy lifestyle.
Arm lifting or brachioplasty constitutes the sole efficient method to treat skin excess in that area. If skin slackening is moderate, non-invasive techniques may be considered.
The scar will be located in the arm’s postero-internal area and therefore invisible from both front and back. The treatment will, as a rule, be combined with lipoaspiration of both arm and armpit.

Dr. Dudrap's expertise
Dr Dudrap uses an arm lifting technique involving prior liposuction to slim down the zone while preserving deeper lymphatic drainage. This will improve healing and lessen the risk of post-operative seromas (serous effusion).
