Understanding Arm Lift Surgery in Miami

When the skin on the upper arm has lost its elasticity, a reshaping arm lift can help when other cosmetic procedures like liposuction are insufficient. Exercise can improve muscle tone but cannot address skin laxity or localized fat deposits.

Arm Lift Candidacy

Excess skin and fat on the underside of the upper arm can develop due to aging, heredity, or significant weight fluctuations. Ptosis (sagging) along the back of the upper arm can occur in individuals of any body type, potentially limiting wardrobe choices and impacting self-confidence.

Arm Lift Procedure Benefits

• Reduce excess skin and fat on the upper arm
• Reshape contours between elbow and armpit
• Smooth out skin texture
• Create a more toned and proportionate arm appearance

Surgical Procedure and Recovery

Modern arm lift techniques provide nearly immediate results with less conspicuous scarring. Patients typically require 10 days of downtime, with limited arm movement during initial recovery. Heavy lifting and upper body exercises should be avoided for at least one month to ensure proper healing.
