Upper-arm contouring, most often after significant weight loss — to address skin that liposuction cannot.
Brachioplasty removes excess upper-arm skin and fat, most commonly after significant weight loss has left the skin envelope larger than the underlying tissue. It leaves a scar — a real trade — but for the right patient it restores function and proportion that nothing else can.
The consultation
We assess skin laxity from elbow to axilla, fat distribution, and your weight stability. We will be honest about the scar: brachioplasty leaves a long inner-arm line, which fades meaningfully over twelve months but never disappears. For patients with mild laxity, we may recommend liposuction with RF tightening instead.
Our approach
Standard brachioplasty places the scar along the inner upper arm; mini-brachioplasty is limited to the axilla for milder cases. We routinely combine with light liposuction in the same session for the most refined contour.
The procedure
Two to three hours under general anaesthetic. Day-stay procedure for most patients; overnight observation if combined with other work.
Recovery
Compression sleeves for six weeks. Sutures out at days seven to fourteen. We ask you to remain on the island for ten days. Final result at six months as scars fade.
