Arm Surgery Before & After Case 456

This patient came to us after losing 150 pounds over several years. Significant weight loss can leave behind substantial excess skin, and for her, the skin along her upper arms was a particular concern she described as affecting how she felt about herself.

Plastic surgeon Dr. Galina Primeau performed a brachioplasty, a surgical procedure that removes excess skin from the upper arm. In the before photo, the arms show notably loose, hanging skin along the inner upper arm. The after photo shows a reduction in that excess tissue, with the upper arm appearing slimmer in contour.

For those researching arm surgery in Ann Arbor, this case illustrates what brachioplasty can address: excess arm skin that develops following major weight loss.
