Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) in Miami, FL

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Dissatisfaction with upper arm appearance often stems from excess skin and fat accumulation. Aging and significant weight loss can contribute to loose, sagging arm skin. Arm lift surgery, medically known as brachioplasty, provides a comprehensive solution for arm body contouring.

Who Benefits from an Arm Lift?

Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery include individuals with:

• Significant excess skin in the upper arm region
• Excess fat deposits unresponsive to diet and exercise
• Good overall health
• No active smoking or nicotine use
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Procedure Details

Tran Plastic Surgery performs arm lift procedures under general anesthesia at an outpatient surgical center. The surgical approach typically involves:

• Strategic incision along the inner arm
• Potential combination with liposuction for optimal contouring
• Scar placement from armpit to just above the elbow
• Drain placement to manage post-surgical fluid

Recovery and Expectations

Arm lift recovery involves careful management of surgical sites and gradual return to normal activities. Patients can expect:

• Same-day discharge after surgery
• Drain maintenance for 1-2 weeks
• Bruising resolution within approximately 2 weeks
• Swelling reduction over 3-6 months
• Return to work typically within 2 weeks

Potential Surgical Considerations

Patients should understand potential surgical outcomes, including:

• Significant, long surgical scar
• Potential temporary or permanent skin numbness
• Possible variations in scar healing

Combining Procedures

Arm lift surgery can often be safely combined with other body contouring procedures. A personalized consultation with Tran Plastic Surgery will determine the most appropriate surgical approach for individual patient needs.
