Brachioplasty, arm lift, arm liposuction

Two techniques are available, alone or in combination, to improve the aesthetic appearance of arms. These techniques are liposuction and arm lift, also called brachioplasty. In most cases, when the skin is thin and saggy, an arm lift restores the firmness and removes excess skin. Liposuction, combined with an armlift, helps to redefine the shape of the arms. However, liposuction without an arm lift is only used if the skin is very well toned, which is quite unusual on the inner arm.

Hand rejuvenation, fat transfer and hand lift

The hands, particularly the back of the hands, are, along with the face, the most exposed body parts. This is why they must be cared for if you want to retain a youthful image that matches the rest of your body. Hand rejuvenation is multidisciplinary, combining medical and aesthetic surgery techniques. A fat transfer to the back of the hands can hide prominent veins and improve skin texture. In other cases, a hand lift would be the recommended treatment. Marks caused by the sun and unsightly veins can be treated with a laser or resurfacing procedure.
