Define and contour upper arm with brachioplasty surgery.

Amelia {location} specializes in {procedure}.

Arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reshape and tighten the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. 

At Amelia Tampa Bay in Riverview, FL, plastic surgeon Dr. Shabaaz Sandhu specializes in this transformative surgery, helping patients achieve a more defined and youthful appearance.

Many individuals seek arm lift surgery after significant weight loss or due to the natural aging process, which can result in sagging skin in the upper arms. 

During the procedure, an incision is typically made along the inner arm, allowing the surgeon to remove excess skin and fat. This results in a more streamlined contour and can greatly enhance your overall body proportions.

Recovery from arm lift surgery usually involves a downtime of 10-14 days, during which patients may experience some swelling and discomfort. To ensure optimal healing, most patients are advised to refrain from strenuous activities for up to six weeks. While many patients notice immediate improvements, the full results will develop over several months as swelling subsides.

If you're considering an arm lift in Tampa Bay, FL, consult with Dr. Shabaaz Sandhu at Amelia Tampa Bay to learn more about an arm lift could help you achieve your goals.

What do {procedure} scars look like?

Extended Arm Lift

The extended arm lift incision runs from the armpit down the arm and continues along the side of the chest and under the breast, targeting excess skin and fat on both the upper arms and adjacent areas.

Mini Arm Lift

A mini arm lift involves a smaller incision, typically placed in the armpit, to address mild to moderate sagging skin that is only in the very upper part of the arm near the armpit.

Standard Arm Lift

The standard arm lift incision is the most common and extends from the armpit to the elbow along the inner or back of the arm and sometimes across the armpit.

{procedure} Recovery Timeline

  • 1-2 Weeks

  • 6 Weeks
    Most patients are cleared to stop wearing compression garments and resume normal exercise.
  • 6 Months
    Much, but not all of the swelling has resolved for most, and often when your “after photos” are taken.
