Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Redlands, CA | Dr. Duncan Miles, MD

What is an Arm Lift Surgery?

An arm lift, technically called a brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to correct loose, saggy skin and remove excess fat deposits in the upper arm. As individuals age, gravity and changes in skin quality can cause the upper arm skin to become loose and flabby.

Key Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

• Remove loose skin and excess fat deposits in the upper arms
• Tighten the upper arms and improve skin quality
• Restore a more normal and contoured appearance of the upper arms

Surgical Procedure Overview

The arm lift procedure typically takes 2 to 3 hours, depending on the extent of work required. Incisions begin in the armpits and may extend to the elbows, strategically placed to minimize visible scarring. Excess skin and fat are carefully removed, and the underlying tissues are reshaped to create a smoother, more toned appearance.

Recovery and Healing

Most patients can return to work or school within 7 to 14 days following the procedure. Initial swelling and bruising are normal, and patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities during the initial healing period. The Advanced Institute for Plastic Surgery provides comprehensive post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal recovery.

Candidate Considerations

Ideal candidates for an arm lift are individuals with significant skin laxity in the upper arms that cannot be addressed through exercise or non-surgical treatments. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Duncan Miles will determine the most appropriate approach for each patient's unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
