Arm lift

This operation is needed when there is an important excess of skin and fat on the internal aspect of the arm. Adipose excess is corrected by lipoaspiration and the excess of skin is resected, leaving a vertical scar in the inner arm.

The patient will be well informed on surgery procedures, and results during the first consultation.

Operation is practiced under deep local anaesthesia or under general anaesthesia.
