Arm Lift
If your arms no longer look svelte, consider brachioplasty surgery at Aqua.
Brachioplasty Could Be Your Solution For Loose Skin
Combine with Liposuction or Use Alone for Sculpted Arms.
An arm lift or brachioplasty is performed to remove loose skin of the upper arms that may result from significant weight loss or the natural aging process. Sometimes, liposuction is performed in conjunction with an arm lift to remove isolated fat deposits in the upper arms. When loose skin is not a problem and deposits of fat are of sole concern, liposuction alone may be used to sculpt the upper arms.

What To Expect: Brachioplasty or Arm Lift Surgery
The Consultation Process
You will sit down with your plastic surgeon for an informational consultation to learn what arm lift procedures are best for your situation.
About the Procedure
During arm lift surgery, an incision is typically placed along the inner or back portion of the upper arm, extending from the underarm toward the elbow depending on the amount of correction needed. Excess skin is removed, underlying supportive tissue is tightened, and liposuction may be used to refine the contour.
Arm lift procedures may be performed using local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the surgery and patient needs.
Many patients combine an arm lift with other body contouring procedures, particularly after significant weight loss, to achieve the most satisfying results.
Recovery from Arm Lift Surgery
Recovery experiences vary, but most patients can return to light daily activities within one to two weeks. Full healing and final results continue to develop over several weeks as swelling subsides.
Your plastic surgeon in Jupiter, Fla., will provide detailed instructions for safe healing and results you will be proud of.
Follow-up
We will schedule several follow-up appointments with you to check your healing progress and clear you to return to your regular lifestyle.
