Brachioplasty or arm lift is designed to tighten the loose upper arm skin and underlying tissue brought on by advancing age or as a consequence of excessive weight loss.
Brachioplasty will tighten the skin to improve harmony with the lower arm, and it is often done with liposuction in Tampa to improve contour.

Surgical Procedure
Arm lifts require approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour per side to complete, depending upon the need for additional liposuction or extension into the armpit area. General anesthesia is used for patient comfort, and the procedure is performed as an outpatient.
The arm is marked preoperatively in the upright position to assess the quantity of skin to be removed and to determine incision placement. Incision placement is designed to provide the greatest degree of scar concealment, with the arms at ones side. At times, the skin excess may require extension below the elbow crease; however, it is often avoided to minimize scar appearance. The excessive fat and skin are removed in sections, and liposuction is used to smooth out irregularities after removal. Absorbable stitch material is used to provide closure, eliminating the need for stitch removal, and waterproof dressings are applied.
