Dr. Jose Soler-Baillo offers personalized arm lift surgery (brachioplasty) at Soler Plastic Surgery, Coral Gables practice. We help patients from across Miami and South Florida remove excess skin and reshape their arms for a beautifully toned, elegant look.
At Soler Plastic Surgery in Coral Gables, the arm lift procedure 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 or armpit. This allows patients to enjoy beautiful results without highly 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 year-round in the Florida sun.
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 severe 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 armpit, 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 temporary swelling. Recovery time will vary, but arms and hands typically regain normal function over the course of about 2 to 3 weeks, and patients can typically return to work in 7 to 14 days.
Take a look at Dr. Soler-Baillo’s Before and After results of his Brachioplasty procedure.
While liposuction removes excess fat, it relies on the skin’s natural elasticity to shrink back over the new contour. An arm lift physically removes the stretched, excess skin, making it ideal for patients with poor skin elasticity or significant weight loss.
Dr. Soler-Baillo strategically places incisions either within the armpit (for a mini arm lift) or along the inner, less visible side of the upper arm, ensuring scars remain discreet when your arms are resting at your sides.
Ideal candidates are healthy individuals with significant upper arm skin laxity who maintain a stable weight. During your consultation in Coral Gables, Dr. Soler-Baillo will evaluate your anatomy to determine the most effective surgical approach.
You will wear a specialized compression garment for a few weeks to minimize swelling. Most patients return to desk work within 7 to 14 days, while strenuous upper body exercises should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks.
Yes. Many patients choose to combine their arm lift with procedures like liposuction, breast enhancement, or a tummy tuck as part of a comprehensive body contouring plan.
