Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
 The Arm Lift, or Brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that lifts, tightens and re-contours the arm by removing excess skin and fat deposits. As we age, or if major weight loss occurs, the upper arm begins to sag due to the great affect of gravity, skin laxity, and thinning skin, muscle and fat tissues. An Arm Lift does not affect muscle tone, and normal physical activity is not only possible but highly recommended once recovery is complete. Take the next step: request your certificate for a Free Arm Lift Consultation now and call us at (954) 565-7575 or toll-free at (800) 274-LIPO today to schedule your appointment at the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery with locations in Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
An Arm Lift can be performed in conjunction with liposuction of the upper arm and other body contouring procedures, but it not recommended for patients who have had mastectomy surgery. You will want to discuss the restrictions for an Arm Lift in detail with your surgeon if you have undergone a mastectomy.
People who have had major weight loss and post bariatric surgical patients can benefit greatly from an Arm Lift procedure as well as other procedures like a Face Lift, Tummy Tuck, Thigh Lift and Body Lift. Significant skin sagging can greatly affect your appearance after losing excessive weight. Our surgeons, who specialize in post bariatric cosmetic surgery procedures, are committed to providing the best possible surgical results for patients in these unique circumstances.
This procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Incisions are made between the armpit and the elbow, and sutures are used to close the wound, which will leave some scarring. Recovery takes at least a week and most normal activities can be resumed by three or four weeks.
