Patient Case #20551

This 53-year-old patient is shown 11 months after her brachioplasty, performed by Dr. Howard Silverman at Ottawa Plastic Surgery. Her procedure was designed to address moderate skin laxity and mild fatty excess of the upper arms that had progressed over time and was resistant to diet and exercise.

A brachioplasty, also known as an arm lift, can be an excellent option for patients who are bothered by loose or sagging skin of the upper arms. This procedure removes excess skin and helps create a smoother, more refined arm contour. In some cases, liposuction may also be used to further improve shape and definition in areas of localized fatty fullness.

At 11 months post-op, her results demonstrate improved upper arm contour, reduced skin laxity, and a more streamlined overall shape.
