Case #85

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) Before & After | Denver, Colorado | Dr. Francesco Campanile

After achieving significant weight loss, this patient came to renowned Colorado plastic surgeon Dr. Francesco Campanile seeking a solution for loose, excess skin and residual fat in her upper arms. While weight loss can dramatically improve overall health and body shape, the skin often does not regain its elasticity—leaving behind hanging skin that cannot be corrected with diet, exercise, or strength training alone.

As a plastic surgeon in Colorado who specializes in advanced body contouring procedures, Dr. Campanile recommended a customized arm lift (brachioplasty) to restore a more toned, proportionate arm contour. This procedure removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms and reshapes the arm using precise, elliptical excision techniques. The remaining tissue is then carefully contoured and sutured to create smoother, firmer, and more athletic-looking arms that better reflect the patient’s weight-loss success.

One of the most common concerns when considering an arm lift is scarring. Dr. Campanile is known throughout Denver and Colorado for his meticulous surgical technique and thoughtful scar placement. Rather than placing the scar along the traditional inner arm location, he often positions it along the backside of the arm, where it is more naturally concealed when the arms are at rest. This refined approach, combined with his personally performed, layered plastic-surgery closure, helps support optimal healing and more discreet scarring over time. Patients travel from across Colorado and beyond to seek out his expertise for natural-looking arm lift results with careful attention to scar quality.

This patient is shown approximately two months after her brachioplasty with Dr. Campanile. Her arms now appear significantly more toned, smooth, and proportionate to the rest of her body. The excess skin and laxity that once prevented her from feeling confident in sleeveless clothing have been dramatically improved. She is thrilled with her transformation and feels more comfortable wearing fitted tops, dresses, and activewear again.

Dr. Campanile is widely recognized as one of the top plastic surgeons in Colorado for arm lift surgery, body contouring after weight loss, and Mommy Makeover procedures. His practice focuses on delivering refined, natural-appearing results for patients in Denver, Cherry Creek, and throughout Colorado who are seeking expert cosmetic surgery care.
