Patient Details
This patient in her mid-40s, came to Dr. Siamak Agha at The Aesthetic Centers in Newport Beach seeking improvement in the shape and contour of her arms. After experiencing weight changes over time, she developed looseness and heaviness in the upper arms, with laxity extending into the underarm and outer chest area. Her goal was to have arms that felt lighter, smoother, and more aligned with how she sees herself.
To achieve this, Dr. Agha performed an L-brachioplasty, a specialized arm lift technique designed to remove excess skin not only from the upper arms, but also from the axillary (armpit) area. By addressing these areas together, the surgery provides a smoother, more continuous contour rather than stopping abruptly at the underarm. The incision pattern follows the natural lines of the arm and chest to improve symmetry and minimize visibility over time.
In her postoperative results, the arms appear leaner, firmer, and more proportionate, restoring definition without creating harsh edges. She retains her natural arm shape, but with a noticeably lighter and lifted contour. Her transformation highlights Dr. Agha’s advanced approach to post-weight-loss body contouring, where thoughtful technique and anatomical precision ensure both aesthetic balance and long-term comfort.
