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

View real patient before-and-after results of an arm lift (brachioplasty) performed by Dr. Francesco Campanile at Campanile Plastic Surgery in Denver, Colorado. This patient sought treatment after significant weight loss left her with excess, loose skin on her upper arms. While she was very happy with her weight-loss success, she was frustrated that stretched skin did not regain elasticity and remained present despite diet and exercise.

After major weight loss, it is common for skin to lose its ability to retract fully, resulting in persistent excess skin that cannot be improved without surgical intervention. For many patients in Colorado, arm lift surgery is the final step in completing their transformation.

Arm Lift After Weight Loss in Denver

Following a consultation with Dr. Campanile, this patient chose to proceed with an arm lift (brachioplasty) to remove excess skin and improve upper arm contour. During the procedure, redundant skin is carefully removed in an elliptical pattern along the back of the arm, and the remaining tissue is reshaped to create a smoother, tighter, and more proportionate appearance.

Arm lift surgery is commonly performed after significant weight loss when skin laxity remains despite achieving a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.

Advanced Scar Placement Technique

Traditional arm lift procedures typically place the scar along the inner (medial) aspect of the arm, where it can be visible from multiple angles when the arms are at rest or in motion.

Dr. Francesco Campanile uses a refined technique that places the scar along the backside of the arm whenever appropriate. This strategic placement helps reduce scar visibility in everyday positions and improves overall aesthetic discretion.

In addition, Dr. Campanile performs all surgical closures himself, using meticulous plastic surgery techniques designed to support healing and minimize the appearance of scarring over time. This attention to detail contributes to consistently high patient satisfaction and natural-looking outcomes.
