Loose skin along the upper arm can linger long after weight loss, or simply after years of natural change. Thankfully, sleeveless confidence doesn't have to rely solely on genetics.
Whether it's from significant weight loss, the natural effects of time, or something you've noticed, regardless of your weight, excess skin along the upper arm can affect what you feel comfortable wearing and how confident you feel raising your arm in everyday moments. Because our team includes board-certified/eligible surgeons with decades of combined experience in body procedures, we approach every arm lift in Jackson, MS, with close attention to proportion and scar placement.
