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.
