The forearm—also referred to as the lower arm—is the area between the wrist and the elbow.
Following significant weight loss, some patients are left with excess, loose skin in this region that does not respond to diet or exercise. This can affect both the appearance of the arms and a patient’s confidence, particularly when wearing short sleeves or fitted clothing.
For patients with moderate to severe forearm skin laxity, Dr. Agha has developed a specialized forearm reduction technique designed to safely and effectively address this concern.
The procedure focuses on removing excess skin while preserving natural contours and function. The incision is carefully placed along the inner aspect of the forearm, where it is discreet and less visible—similar in concept to the incision used in an arm lift procedure.
The goal of forearm reduction is to create a smoother, firmer, and more proportionate forearm shape while minimizing visible scarring. This procedure is often performed as part of a comprehensive post–weight loss body contouring plan and is tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.

While most plastic surgery techniques are designed for 2-dimensional correction, Dr. Agha has been working on creating contour and shape in the third element of dimension. His pioneered procedures include the high-definition tummy tuck, high-definition mommy makeover, dermal bra-suspension breast reshaping, and what he calls buttocks aug-shaping. Dr. Agha has also written extensively on nutritional optimization of plastic surgery patients. As a result of his contributions, Dr. Agha has appeared as a faculty member at five annual meetings of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons to teach other plastic surgeons as an expert.
