Understanding Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) in Miami
An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a transformative surgical procedure designed to address excess skin and fatty deposits on the upper arms. This contouring technique removes hanging skin, trims fatty deposits, and reshapes the arm's natural contour, resulting in a more youthful and fit appearance.
Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery
Brachioplasty is particularly beneficial for patients who have:
- Experienced significant weight loss
- Lost skin elasticity due to aging
- Developed excess skin after pregnancy or weight loss surgery
- Become self-conscious about upper arm appearance
Arm Lift Procedure Options
Dr. Nidia De Jesus offers multiple arm lift techniques tailored to individual patient needs:
- Standard arm lift
- Mini-arm lift
- Extended brachioplasty
Preparing for Your Miami Arm Lift Surgery
Patients should follow specific pre-surgical guidelines to ensure optimal results and safety:
- Cease smoking at least 4 weeks before surgery
- Discontinue blood thinners 4 weeks prior to the procedure
- Fast for 24 hours before surgery
- Avoid makeup, jewelry, and contact lenses on surgery day
Surgical Procedure Details
The arm lift procedure typically takes one to two hours and involves removing excess skin and fatty deposits, tightening remaining skin, and contouring the underarm area. Surgical time may vary depending on the specific technique used.
Recovery and Aftercare in Miami
Recovery from an arm lift requires careful planning and follow-up. Patients can expect:
- Two-week restriction on work and strenuous activities
- Prescribed medication for discomfort
- Follow-up appointments at one and four weeks post-surgery

Long-Term Results
Arm lift results are immediately visible and become more pronounced as swelling subsides. Patients can maintain their new contoured appearance by maintaining a balanced weight and following post-operative care instructions.
