WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AN ARM LIFT?
Loose skin around the upper arms can be frustrating, especially if you have worked hard to lose weight or tone up with exercise. Our Doctors performs arm lift surgery to help patients achieve their desired look. Some benefits of this procedure include:
- Fewer skin problems: Loose skin may cause rashes and other forms of skin irritation. An arm lift provides relief from these issues.
