Brachioplasty Arm Lift Miami, FL | Dr. Nidia De Jesus

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
• Potential temporary side effects like bruising and numbness

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.
