Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) Westchase, FL | Pedro M. Soler, MD

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Arm lift surgery, or bilateral brachioplasty, is a specialized procedure designed to remove excess fat, tissue, and skin from the upper arms. Dr. Pedro M. Soler performs this transformative body contouring surgery for patients throughout Southwest Florida.

What is Brachioplasty?

Brachioplasty targets the area from the underarm to the elbow, removing redundant skin and fat to create smoother, firmer arm contours. Common causes of sagging upper arms include:

• Significant weight loss
• Natural aging process
• Genetic predisposition

Who Can Benefit from Arm Lift Surgery?

Ideal candidates for brachioplasty typically have:

• Stable body weight
• Excess, loose skin on upper arms
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Procedure Details

Dr. Soler performs arm lift surgery under general anesthesia. The procedure involves making an incision extending from the elbow to the armpit, allowing precise removal of excess skin and fat. While some scarring is inevitable, Dr. Soler strategically places incisions to minimize visibility.

Benefits of Brachioplasty

• Improved arm contour and appearance
• Enhanced comfort during physical activities
