Understanding Brachioplasty

Why choose this treatment

Depending on the degree of skin slackening, several techniques can be proposed: BodyTite® or Attiva® (radiofrequency) to firm the skin and reduce fat, or surgery (arm lift) in more serious cases. The aim is to achieve firmer, more harmonious arms.

Aesthetic and medical indications

Sagging skin on the arms, localised excess fat, loss of tone after weight loss or ageing.

Contraindications:

Pregnancy, breast-feeding, coagulation disorders, active skin infections.

Our approach

Brachioplasty aims to tighten the inner arms by removing the excess skin responsible for the sagging appearance. The operation is performed with millimetre precision to obtain a firmer, more harmonious contour. Our surgeons adapt the technique (with or without liposuction) according to the thickness of the skin and the patient's morphology. The protocol results in a clear improvement in the tone and shape of the arms, with a gradual recovery. At Beauvoir Clinic, various techniques are available, from Attiva under local anaesthetic to surgical brachioplasty under general anaesthetic, depending on the extent of the correction required and the wishes and expectations of each patient. The approach guarantees a natural, proportionate and long-lasting result, while respecting the overall balance of the figure.
