Brachioplasty: Arm Lift in Tampa, FL

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce excess sagging arm skin, tighten supportive tissue, and create a more defined upper arm contour. This transformative procedure addresses localized fat deposits and skin laxity that cannot be resolved through diet and exercise alone.

Surgical Approach

Dr. Politis performs arm lift procedures in the operating room under general anesthesia. The surgical technique is meticulously customized based on individual patient anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Surgical Technique

• Incisions strategically placed on the inner arm
• Incision length varies depending on skin excess
• Potential incision range: from underarm to just above elbow
• Excess fat removed through direct excision or liposuction
• Underlying supportive tissue tightened with internal sutures
• Skin smoothed over new arm contour

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can anticipate a healing period of 2-3 weeks. While results are long-lasting, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial to preserving surgical outcomes.

Potential Post-Operative Experiences

• Temporary pain and soreness
• Potential numbness in forearm and upper arm
• Maximum discomfort in first few days
• Potential fatigue for several weeks

Pre-Operative Preparation

Proper preparation is essential for a successful arm lift procedure. Dr. Politis provides comprehensive pre-operative instructions to ensure optimal surgical outcomes and patient safety.

Post-Operative Care

Following surgery, patients receive detailed instructions for recovery, including guidance on activity restrictions, wound care, and scar management.
