Brachioplasty removed excess skin from the upper arms, and can be extended to remove excess skin from the lateral chest as well. It's a bit easier recovery than abdominoplasty- most patients take about a week off work. You'll need to avoid heavy cardio and lifting weights for four weeks after surgery. The scars do tend to stay pink, especially by the elbow. Average cost is around $7000-8000 including the OR and anesthesia costs.
