This 53-year-old post-bariatric surgery patient presented for upper extremity contouring following a significant weight loss of 110 pounds achieved through gastric sleeve surgery. Her physical examination revealed substantial skin ptosis and laxity of the bilateral upper arms, extending from the axilla to the elbow region. The surgical plan included bilateral brachioplasty procedures with careful attention to optimal scar placement along the posteromedial aspect of the arms. Her post-operative results demonstrate marked improvement in upper arm contour with the elimination of redundant skin, resulting in a more proportionate and toned appearance of the arms that better reflects her weight loss achievement.
