Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Sarasota, FL | Dr. Alissa Marie Shulman

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery in Sarasota

Brachioplasty, or arm lift surgery, is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to reshape and tighten the upper arm area. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Alissa M. Shulman has been performing this transformative procedure at Sovereign Plastic Surgery since 2009, helping Sarasota patients address loose or sagging arm skin.

Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

Ideal candidates for an arm lift typically exhibit the following characteristics:

• Desire to address loose skin in upper arms
• Maintained stable body weight for 12+ months
• Good overall health
• Non-smoker committed to healthy lifestyle
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

The Arm Lift Procedure

During a brachioplasty, Dr. Shulman creates a carefully placed incision along the inner arm. Using specialized surgical techniques, she removes excess skin and reshapes the underlying supportive tissue. The length of the incision varies depending on individual patient needs and aesthetic goals.

Recovery and Expectations for Sarasota Arm Lift Patients

Patients can expect some initial swelling and bruising following the procedure. Complete healing and final results may take several weeks to months. Maintaining a stable body weight is crucial for preserving surgical outcomes.

Alternative Options

For patients with good skin elasticity, Dr. Shulman might recommend liposuction as an alternative or complementary procedure to traditional arm lift surgery.

Personalized Consultation in Sarasota

Dr. Shulman offers comprehensive, individualized consultations to determine the most appropriate approach for each patient's unique aesthetic objectives. During this consultation, she reviews medical history, discusses goals, and explains the procedure in detail.
