Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) Tampa, FL

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Arm lift surgery, or bilateral brachioplasty, is a specialized procedure designed to remove excess fat, tissue, and skin from the upper arms. The treatment focuses on the area from the underarm to the elbow, creating smoother, firmer, and more toned arm contours.

What Causes Arm Sagging?

• Aging and loss of skin elasticity
• Significant weight loss
• Genetic predisposition
• Lack of targeted exercise results

Brachioplasty Procedure Details

Dr. Soler performs arm lift surgery under general anesthesia. The procedure involves making an incision extending from the elbow to the armpit, strategically placed to minimize visible scarring while removing excess skin and fat.
