Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Palm Beach Gardens, FL | Pinsky Plastic Surgery - Mark A. Pinsky, M.D.

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Loose upper arm skin may result from weight loss, aging, or genetic factors. While exercise strengthens arm muscles, it cannot eliminate excess skin. An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, surgically removes redundant skin and reshapes the upper arm to restore smooth contours and proportions.

Reasons for Choosing an Arm Lift

Combat Signs of Aging: Restore youthful arm appearance by tightening muscles and reducing excess skin
Post-Weight Loss Transformation: Remove sagging skin after significant weight reduction
Address Sun Damage and Smoking Effects: Correct skin elasticity loss from environmental factors
Complement Liposuction: Tighten skin after fat removal for comprehensive body contouring
Enhance Self-Confidence: Improve body image and psychological well-being

Surgical Procedure Details

Brachioplasty is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes approximately two hours. The plastic surgeons at Pinsky Plastic Surgery design an incision underneath the arm, extending from armpit to elbow, tailored to individual skin excess and patient goals.

Procedure Steps

Mark excess skin prior to surgery
Create strategic incision to minimize visible scarring
Remove redundant skin
Resuspend underlying fascia for structural support
Optional liposuction through same incision
Close with precision sutures

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients return to work within five to seven days following brachioplasty. Initial bruising resolves within weeks, while some swelling may persist for months. Numbness is common and can last up to a year, with gradual sensation restoration.
