Go Sleeveless with Confidence

Are you self-conscious about sagging skin or excess fat on your upper arms? Many people experience these issues, especially after significant weight loss or due to the natural aging process. At Ocean Drive Plastic Surgery in Vero Beach, we understand the desire for firmer, more toned arms. Our expert team, led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Alan Durkin, is dedicated to helping you achieve your aesthetic goals with personalized care and advanced techniques. We offer arm lift procedures in the Vero Beach & Pompano Beach area designed to provide natural-looking, long-lasting results.

What Is an Arm Lift?

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms, resulting in a more toned and youthful appearance. This procedure involves making an incision along the underside of the arm, from the armpit to the elbow. Excess skin is removed through this incision, and underlying tissues are tightened and reshaped. Liposuction may also be used to remove stubborn fat deposits, enhancing the overall contour of the arms. The result is smoother, firmer arms that better match the rest of your body.

Benefits of an Arm Lift

Excess skin and fat on the upper arms can significantly affect your self-esteem, making you feel uncomfortable in sleeveless clothing and less confident in social situations. An arm lift at Ocean Drive Plastic Surgery offers numerous benefits, helping you achieve the toned arms you desire. Here are the key benefits you can expect from an arm lift:

  • Improved Arm Contour: Removes excess skin and fat, resulting in firmer, more sculpted arms.
  • Enhanced Confidence: Allows you to wear sleeveless clothing confidently and enjoy social activities without self-consciousness.
  • Long-Lasting Results: Provides permanent improvements to the arm’s appearance, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
  • Minimally Visible Scarring: Advanced techniques ensure minimal scarring, which fades over time and is well-concealed on the underside of the arm.
  • Comprehensive Care: Benefit from our integrated approach that combines surgical excellence with attentive post-operative care for optimal outcomes.

Is an Arm Lift Right for Me?

If you struggle with loose, sagging skin or excess fat on your upper arms, an arm lift may be the right solution. Ideal candidates for an arm lift are individuals who:

  • Have significant skin laxity or excess fat on the upper arms.
  • Are at a stable weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
  • Do not have medical conditions that could impair healing.
  • Have realistic expectations about the results.

If you’re considering an arm lift in Vero Beach & Pompano Beach, we invite you to book an Ocean Drive Plastic Surgery consultation. During this session, we will carefully evaluate your arms, discuss your aesthetic goals, and create a customized treatment plan just for you.

What to Expect: The Arm Lift Process

Your arm lift journey begins with a comprehensive consultation in which we will evaluate your arms, discuss your aesthetic goals, and create a personalized treatment plan. During this appointment, you can ask questions and discuss realistic outcomes. Once your consultation is complete, the process will unfold with the following steps:

  • Anesthesia: The procedure begins with administering anesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the surgery.
  • Incision: An incision is made along the underside of the arm, from the armpit to the elbow. The length and pattern of the incision will depend on the amount and location of excess skin.
  • Tissue Removal and Tightening: Excess skin and fat are removed, and underlying tissues are tightened and reshaped to achieve a more contoured appearance.
  • Liposuction: If necessary, liposuction is used to remove stubborn fat deposits and enhance the overall contour of the arms.
  • Closing the Incisions: The incisions are carefully closed with sutures, and the area is dressed to support the healing process.
  • Aftercare Instructions: You will receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.

Arm Lift Recovery & Results

Recovery from an arm lift requires following post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing and results. Initially, you may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which are normal side effects of the surgery. Our team provides detailed post-operative care instructions and pain management techniques to ensure comfort. Most patients can resume light activities within the first two weeks, but strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks to promote proper healing. The final results will gradually emerge as the swelling subsides, revealing smoother, firmer arms. With proper care and maintenance, the results of an arm lift can be long-lasting, allowing you to enjoy your enhanced appearance for many years.
