Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) in Stuart, FL

Brachioplasty (Arm Lift)

Brachioplasty, commonly referred to as an upper arm lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms, creating a smoother, firmer, and more contoured appearance. This treatment is ideal for patients dealing with loose or sagging skin caused by weight loss, aging, or genetics.

At Albany Aesthetics in Stuart, FL, patients from Jensen Beach, Port St. Lucie, Vero Beach, Jupiter, and West Palm Beach choose this form of cosmetic arm surgery to restore confidence and achieve more proportionate arm contours with long-lasting results.

What Is Brachioplasty?

Brachioplasty in Stuart, FL, is a surgical arm-tightening procedure that targets excess upper arm skin and fatty tissue between the underarm and elbow. When diet and exercise cannot correct skin laxity in the upper arms, surgical correction offers a reliable and effective solution.

The procedure reshapes the upper arms by tightening underlying tissues and removing loose skin, resulting in arms that appear toned, youthful, and better aligned with the rest of the body. This surgery is often performed on its own or combined with other body contouring procedures for comprehensive results.

How Arm Lift Surgery Works

Arm lift surgery in Stuart is performed under anesthesia and customized to each patient’s anatomy and goals. The surgical approach depends on the amount of excess skin and fat present, particularly in patients experiencing arm tightening after weight loss.

Surgical steps typically include:

  • Carefully placed incisions along the inner or back portion of the arm
  • Removal of excess upper arm skin and fatty tissue
  • Tightening and reshaping of the underlying structures
  • Precise closure to minimize visible scarring

Incisions are placed as discreetly as possible, and over time, scars fade significantly. The goal is to achieve smooth, natural-looking contours that enhance arm definition without appearing overcorrected.

Benefits of Surgical Arm Tightening

Patients across Stuart and the Treasure Coast choose upper arm lift surgery for both physical and emotional benefits, including:

  • Removal of loose, sagging upper arm skin
  • Improved arm contour and firmness
  • Enhanced confidence in sleeveless clothing
  • Long-lasting, dramatic results
  • Improved comfort during physical activity
  • More balanced body proportions

This procedure offers a permanent solution for excess arm skin when weight loss or aging has compromised elasticity.

Downtime and Recovery

Recovery after cosmetic arm surgery is manageable and follows a predictable timeline when post-operative instructions are followed closely.

Typical recovery timeline:

  • Days 1–5: Swelling, bruising, and tightness are common and controlled with medication.
  • Week 1: Most patients return to light daily activities.
  • Weeks 2–4: Swelling continues to subside; arm mobility improves.
  • Weeks 6–8: Most exercise restrictions are lifted, and results become more refined.

Compression garments are typically worn to reduce swelling and support healing. Patients are advised to avoid heavy lifting during early recovery to ensure optimal results.

Before and After Results

This upper arm contouring procedure provides noticeable improvement in arm shape and tone. Before surgery, patients often experience loose, hanging skin that limits clothing choices and confidence. After surgery, arms appear smoother, firmer, and more proportionate to the body.

As healing progresses, results continue to refine, revealing natural-looking arm contours that enhance overall body balance.

Is an Upper Arm Lift Right for You?

You may be a good candidate for surgical arm tightening if you:

  • Have excess upper arm skin that does not respond to exercise
  • Are at a stable, healthy weight
  • Do not smoke or are willing to stop before surgery
  • Have realistic expectations about results and scarring
  • Want long-lasting improvement in arm appearance

Many South Florida brachioplasty patients who have experienced significant weight loss find this procedure to be a key step in completing their body transformation.

FAQ's

Scars are placed strategically along the inner or back arm and fade significantly over time. Most patients find the improvement in contour well worth it.

Results are long-lasting, especially when paired with stable weight and healthy lifestyle habits.

Arm lift surgery is commonly combined with liposuction or other body contouring procedures for enhanced results.

Discomfort is typically mild to moderate and easily managed with prescribed medication during the initial recovery period.

Albany Aesthetics is gorgeous and the staff was welcoming. Melissa (OR Manager) made me feel comfortable right away. Dr Kandace and Melissa are so calming and I knew I was right where I needed to be for my brachioplasty (arm lift) surgery. Today I am 4 weeks post op and from consult to surgery and post op I couldn’t ask for better care and follow up. Dr Kandace is an amazing surgeon! I can’t say enough good things about both of these beautiful ladies!
