Patient Details
This 59-year-old female patient came to Dr. Traci Temmen after experiencing significant weight loss following gastric sleeve surgery in 2015. After losing over 100 pounds and maintaining a stable weight for several years, she was left with excess, sagging skin on her upper arms that made her feel self-conscious and limited her clothing choices.
To restore a smoother, more toned contour to her upper body, Dr. Temmen performed an extended arm lift, also known as a brachioplasty. This procedure removes loose, hanging skin from the upper arms and extends onto the lateral chest or back to improve overall contour and eliminate folds that often result after major weight loss.
These results highlight the dramatic difference an arm lift can make—even in patients with long-term skin laxity. This patient is thrilled with her more sculpted arms and renewed confidence.
