Enhancing size, shape, and symmetry with precision
What Is an Arm Lift?
An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a body contouring procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms, creating a smoother, more toned appearance. This procedure is commonly chosen by patients after significant weight loss or due to age-related skin laxity. Dr. Shamoun performs arm lift surgery to help patients:
Eliminate loose or sagging upper-arm skin
Improve arm shape and firmness
Reduce discomfort caused by excess skin
Enhance overall arm proportion
Each arm lift in Dubai is carefully customized to the patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals for balanced, natural results.
