Arms Lifts in Sherbrooke

What are Arm Lifts?

Arm lift is a surgical procedure used to remove excess skin from the arm and tighten the remaining skin. This is a day surgery carried out under general anesthesia. An incision is made along the inner arm (to hide the scar as much as possible) and the excess skin is removed. The procedure is often combined with liposuction and completed by closing the incision using absorbable sutures. Discharge instructions for wound care will be given during the consultation.

“From the moment I arrived, Dr Cardin-Langlois and his nurse Stéphanie put me at ease. They took the time to answer my many questions. Based on my expressed needs, Dr. Cardin-Langlois proposed a surgery that respected my morphology, and that was important to me. The result is harmonious and far beyond my expectations!”
