This patient underwent an arm lift or brachioplasty following weight loss. The scars are shown at 2 months but can be expected to fade over the next 12 months or so. This operation is done with a combination of liposuction and skin excision to preserve the nerves, blood vessels and lymphatic channels in the upper arm. It is not uncommon to have some swelling after the procedure which is usually temporary and some numbness over the inner arm which may remain.
