Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) Palm Harbor, FL | Dr. Jennifer B. Buck, MD FACS

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat deposits from the upper arms. This treatment helps restore a more youthful and toned arm contour, particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing skin laxity due to aging or significant weight loss.

Procedure Overview

During an arm lift, the surgical incision typically extends from the elbow to the underarm, and in some cases, continues to the side of the chest. The primary goal is to eliminate loose, sagging skin and reshape the underlying supportive tissue for a more aesthetically pleasing arm appearance.

Procedure Techniques

• Skin and fat removal from upper arms
• Potential integration with liposuction
• Tailored surgical approach based on individual anatomy
• Comprehensive body reshaping options

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

Candidates for arm lift surgery typically include individuals who have:

• Significant skin laxity in the upper arms
• Excess fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
• Completed significant weight loss
• Stable weight and good overall health

Complementary Procedures

Palm Harbor Plastic Surgery Centre often recommends combining arm lift surgery with liposuction or other body contouring procedures to achieve comprehensive aesthetic results. Each treatment plan is customized to meet the unique needs and goals of the patient.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from arm lift surgery varies by individual. Patients can expect some initial swelling and discomfort, with gradual improvement in arm contour and skin tightness over several weeks to months.
