If you have loose or excess skin on the backs of your upper arms, you’re not alone. Massive weight loss and/or aging causes many women (and some men) to develop sagging skin on the backs of their arms. While strength training may help to improve the appearance of the upper arm, fitness cannot get rid of loose skin or localized fat deposits. With a brachioplasty procedure, Dr. Ortiz can help you get smoother, more contoured upper arms.
“I can’t just receive such wonderful service and not share… After loosing 100+ pounds, and exercising, along with weight lifting, my arms still were not were I desire them to be. They were sagging. After visiting three plastic surgeons I choose Cape Fear Aesthetics. I love that everything was performed in one location; on site. My surgery was performed on Saturday March 18, 2017. Today is Saturday April 29, 2017, and my arms look fabulous. I am over the mon happy. THANK YOU DR. Ortiz and Fayetteville Plastic Surgery.”

What is an Arm Lift?
During an arm lift, loose skin and fat are removed and the underlying tissue is smoothed so that the shape of the upper arm is more defined. Dr. Ortiz will begin your brachioplasty by making an incision in the inside of the upper arm. The length of the incision depends on the patient: it may run from your underarm to your elbow, or it may be shorter. Once the incision is made, any excess fat will be removed using liposuction techniques and underlying supportive tissues will be tightened and reshaped. Finally, your skin will smooth over your arm’s new contour, with any excess skin being removed. The result is a smoother, tighter upper arm, ready for sleeveless tops and dresses. If you are having an arm lift to remove excess skin after massive weight loss, it is best to have reached your goal weight before surgery.
