Arm Lift in Pensacola, FL

Excess skin under the arms, often called "bat wings," can be frustrating, especially with aging or weight loss. Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery offers upper arm lift surgery, or brachioplasty, to remove this loose skin. An arm lift can enhance your upper arm contour if you haven't achieved toning through natural methods. For those worried about scars, a short scar arm lift leaves less noticeable scarring. Contact us in Pensacola, FL to schedule a consultation and learn how an upper arm lift can give you toned, youthful arms.

An upper arm lift, or brachioplasty, is usually an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. The surgery removes loose skin from the elbow to the underarm, potentially using liposuction for stubborn fat. The incisions are made discreetly but will leave a scar. Afterward, the skin is sutured, and healing is supported with cleaning, bandaging, and compression garments. For less severe skin excess, a short-scar arm lift results in a less visible scar compared to a traditional arm lift.

At Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery, arm lifts offer several benefits, like:

  • Effective for stubborn areas despite diet or exercise
  • Removes excess skin from weight loss or aging
  • Reduces friction and soreness in arms and chest
  • Boosts confidence for wearing sleeveless tops
  • Short scar arm lifts leave less visible scarring

Everyone in the office is very friendly. I had an abdominoplasty and brachioplasty on Dec 1, 2022 and so far I am very pleased with the results and the care I have received. I would highly recommend Dr. Leveque and her staff for any cosmetic procedures you may be contemplating.

Limited Adominoplasty, Breast Augmentation (Silicone), Brachioplasty - Pensacola, FL - I'm 47 years old and have been thinking about plastic surgery for sometime. I had Gastric Bypass in 2007. After losing 130 lbs, I have been able to keep my weight off through diet and exercise. I decided (with my wonderful husband's support) to have plastic surgery. I've lived in this area for sometime and have many friends and family who have seen Dr. Butler. I have yet to hear a complaint so I'm taking the plunge. Met with him once already....My husband and I both liked him. Dr. Butler said I don't need MR or a BL. This was a bonus because with my weight loss and four children I was expecting to need both procedures. (woohoo) I'm 5'8 and 137 pounds. My Pre-op appt is scheduled for August 9th.Updated on 12 Aug 2012:Had my pre-op on August 9th. I'm surprised on the size of the implants I chose. (497cc under the muscle- Silicone) My PS knows I want to be a full C -Small D. We did the Vectra Imaging and that's what we came up with. I trust my doctor. I made it abundantly clear that I don't want to look like a stripper. I also found out that since I am not having MR, I no longer have to stay overnight in the hospital. I can decide in the recovery room what I want to do...so we will see. I will try to upload some pics soon.

Extremely happy - it should only look better after swelling goes down - Dr. Leveque is fantastic at her craft. I went for consult a year before surgery. Had to reschedule 2x due to work and getting COVID. Not once, in dealing with her or staff, did I feel uncomfortable due to not being my ideal weight. She said she could make me happy as I am or I could continue on my weight loss journey first. I’ve had 3 c-sections and wanted the extra saggy skin off. She did Tt, muscle repair, lipo to back & flanks, and cut fat ball out of right underarm. I’m extremely happy with results and I’m 2 weeks post-op so it should only look better after swelling goes down. She’s a thin Dr., I thought she would criticize my weight beforehand but she never did. I highly recommend her, her staff, and the experience. I plan on an arm lift with her in the future.

Awesome experience! - Dr, Butler did my arm lift with awesome results. I had put off having this procedure done but, after my consultation with him, I was confident that I had found the right surgeon to do the job. Dr. Butler is so relaxed and answered all my questions and some I didn't know to ask. I'm diabetic and he really took that into consideration, explaining the importance of keeping my blood sugar under control to ensure that the healing process was successful. He removed 7+ pounds of fat and excess skin from my upper arms and I feel and look like a new woman, even if I am 70 years old! His staff are knowledgeable ladies with kindness and pleasantness built-in. My post-op care was excellent. If you need some improvement, don't hesitate to talk to Dr. Butler!

If you're struggling with droopy skin or "bat wings" under your upper arms, an upper arm lift or brachioplasty can significantly improve your appearance. This advanced cosmetic procedure provides both emotional and physical benefits by removing excess skin and fat. If you are at a healthy weight but still can't eliminate the sagging skin on your upper arms, consider scheduling a private consultation at Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery. Brachioplasty can help you look fitter and younger.
