Short-Scar-Arm-Lifting

Procedure

The «short-scar-arm-lifting» or «mini-arm-lifting» is performed through a discreet incision in the armpit area. This allows the excess skin in the upper arm to be tightened without leaving a long scar along the arm. However, the indication for this procedure is very limited and only provides an improvement of the upper arm silhouette in selected cases.
