Dr. Soler-Baillo offers personalized arm lift surgery in Coral Gables, removing excess skin and reshaping your arms for a more toned, elegant look.
At Soler Plastic Surgery in Coral Gables, the arm lift procedure (also known as brachioplasty) is designed to reshape and tone the upper arms, especially for patients experiencing sagging or loose skin that cannot be corrected with liposuction alone.
Dr. Jose Soler-Baillo uses meticulous surgical techniques to remove excess skin and fat while placing the incision in a discreet location, typically along the inner arm. This allows patients to enjoy beautiful results without visible scarring.
Whether your arms have changed due to weight loss, aging, or genetics, an arm lift can dramatically improve the contour and tone of your upper arms, helping you feel confident in short sleeves, tank tops, and swimwear.
An arm lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arm, often referred to as “bat wings.” Unlike arm liposuction, which targets fat only, an arm lift also addresses skin laxity, making it the better choice for patients with reduced skin elasticity.
Through a carefully placed incision hidden along the inner arm or within the natural contours of the arm, Dr. Soler-Baillo tightens underlying tissues, removes loose skin, and contours the upper arm for a firmer, more youthful silhouette.
Patients may experience some tightness in the arms and some temporary swelling afterwards. Recovery time will vary, but arms and hands typically regain normal function over the course of about 2-3 weeks and patients can typically return to work in 7-14 days.

Take a look at Dr. Soler-Baillo’s Before and After results of his Brachioplasty procedure.
Arm liposuction removes localized fat deposits but does not address loose or sagging skin. It’s ideal for patients with good skin tone and mild fat accumulation.
An arm lift, on the other hand, is designed for patients who lack skin elasticity – often due to weight loss or aging – and need both fat removal and skin tightening for optimal results.
Dr. Soler-Baillo places the incision in a discreet location, typically along the inner arm or inside the arm crease. Over time, the scar fades and becomes less noticeable, especially when proper post-operative care is followed.
You may be a strong candidate if:
You’ve experienced significant weight loss
You have loose or hanging skin on your upper arms
You’re in good overall health and at a stable weight
You want long-term results that liposuction alone cannot achieve

Most patients return to non-strenuous activities within 7 to 10 days, with full recovery expected in 4 to 6 weeks. Compression garments are typically worn to reduce swelling and support healing.
