What Is Arm Lift Surgery?
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.
What Is the Surgical Technique?
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.
What Are the Benefits of An 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
Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Leveque performed my tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I am almost two weeks out of surgery and recovering beautifully thanks to the support from her staff and careful care instructions. Leading up to the procedure I was well educated by Dr. Leveque and the staff at GCPS. The surgery itself was just fine, I was well prepared and went home the same day. My incisions are remarkably small! I know they will heal well. My post op visits have also been so helpful. I had initially had a quote from another surgeon and opted to come here. I am so glad that so did.
The environment is relaxed, comfortable and quiet. Everyone I come in contact with is friendly and respectful. My nurse is pleasant and warm and answers my questions with knowledge and care.
Dr. Butler, Kim & Jenny were all very helpful, professional and friendly. They provide amazing attention and care for all my needs/care. Their work is wonderful and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
