In the warm climate of Scottsdale, feeling embarrassed to wear sleeveless garments is a real problem. There is no way to tighten this skin other than to surgically remove the excess. In one short procedure, Mesa plastic surgeon Dr. Flint can expand your wardrobe choices and improve your self-confidence.

What to Exepct
Your upper arm contour can be dramatically improved with this procedure.
The scars fade over time and are disguised by their placement. In some cases, liposuction may be used alone or in conjunction with an arm lift to remove excess fat.
