Brachioplasty (Arm Lift Surgery)

Brachioplasty, or arm lift surgery, is a transformative procedure designed to reshape and tighten the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. Dr. Wangui Waithaka, a leading expert in body contouring, specializes in delivering natural and harmonious results that restore confidence and enhance your silhouette.

As we age or lose significant weight, the skin on the upper arms can become loose and saggy, creating what many refer to as “bat wings.” Brachioplasty addresses this concern by tightening the skin and underlying tissue, leaving the arms smoother, firmer, and more proportionate to the rest of the body.

During your consultation, Dr. Waithaka conducts a thorough evaluation of your arms, skin elasticity, and overall health to develop a personalized surgical plan. The procedure is tailored to your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals, ensuring results that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically lasts two to three hours. Incisions are made along the inner arm or the back of the arm to minimize visible scarring. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining tissue is tightened to create a smoother contour.

Postoperative care is essential for optimal healing. Swelling and bruising are common in the initial weeks, but they subside to reveal beautifully contoured arms. With Dr. Waithaka’s expert care, patients can expect a dramatic improvement in both appearance and confidence.
