Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) in Miami, DC

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Loose upper arm skin frequently results from significant weight loss. When individuals gain weight, arm skin stretches to accommodate increased volume. After weight reduction, the skin often fails to retract, leading to a sagging appearance that can only be corrected through brachioplasty.

Candidacy for Arm Lift Procedure

Not all patients are ideal candidates for an arm lift. The procedure is most suitable for individuals with substantial skin laxity that cannot be addressed through alternative treatments.

Liposuction vs. Arm Lift

• Liposuction is recommended only when excess fat exists and skin remains tight
• Brachioplasty is preferred for patients with significant skin looseness
• The procedure exchanges loose skin for surgical scars

Surgical Considerations

Arm lift incisions typically extend from the armpit to the elbow along the inner arm. Patients must carefully weigh the aesthetic trade-off between loose skin and potential surgical scarring.

Important Surgical Details

• Incision placement along inner arm
• Scar length correlates with skin looseness
• Best suited for patients with substantial skin laxity
