Loose skin and stubborn fat around the thighs can be difficult to eliminate, even with a healthy lifestyle. Whether due to genetics, weight fluctuations, aging, or post-pregnancy changes, this area often resists traditional methods of toning and can disrupt the harmony of your overall figure.
A Arm lift provides a safe and effective solution to reshape and refine the contours of the arms by removing excess skin and fat while improving firmness and proportion. At Plastic Surgery Specialists of South Florida in Hollywood, FL, we customize each arm lift procedure to suit your unique anatomy and aesthetic vision. Whether your goal is a more sculpted or smoother contours, our skilled team combines surgical expertise with artistic sensitivity to deliver elegant, natural-looking results with precision and care.
An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a plastic surgery procedure designed to reshape and smooth the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat—typically following significant weight loss, aging, or genetic predisposition. It is one of several body contouring procedures aimed at improving proportions and restoring firmer, more toned arm contours.
Arm lifts are especially beneficial for individuals dealing with loose or sagging skin and stubborn fat deposits in the upper arms—issues that often don’t respond to exercise or diet alone. By tightening the underlying supportive tissue and reducing excess volume, the procedure enhances both the appearance and comfort of the arms.
Typical treatment areas for an arm lift focus on reshaping the upper arm, particularly in the following zones:
A successful arm lift begins with thoughtful preparation. In the weeks before surgery, you may need lab work, adjustments to medications, and guidance on stopping supplements that affect healing. If you smoke, it’s essential to stop well in advance, as smoking can interfere with recovery.
At Plastic Surgery Specialists of South Florida, we’ll provide clear, personalized instructions and help you get ready step by step. Before surgery, set up a recovery space at home, fill any prescriptions, and arrange for someone to assist you during the first few days.
Our team is here to ensure you feel informed, supported, and confident as you prepare for your transformation.
Arm Lift Surgery at Plastic Surgery Specialists of South Florida
Arm Lift Surgery is more than a cosmetic enhancement, it’s a personalized path to greater comfort, confidence, and body harmony. At Plastic Surgery Specialists of South Florida, Dr. Barnavon and Dr. Reisler bring both aesthetic vision and surgical expertise to every arm lift, addressing loose skin and tissue laxity to refine the natural contour of the arms.
With decades of experience and international training, our board-certified plastic surgeons are highly regarded for their leadership in advanced body contouring procedures. They continuously integrate the latest surgical innovations and best practices to ensure safety, precision, and results that look and feel natural.

Their goal remains the same: to deliver elegant, long-lasting results that enhance your shape and restore your self-assurance.
While arm lifts are commonly chosen after significant weight loss, they’re not limited to that. Many people experience upper arm laxity due to natural aging or genetics, even if they haven’t had major weight changes. An arm lift can address sagging regardless of the cause.
If you have good skin elasticity and only excess fat, liposuction alone may be enough to contour the area. But if your skin is loose or stretched, an arm lift may be necessary to remove that extra skin for a smooth, toned look. A consultation helps determine the right path for your goals.
Arm lift surgery doesn’t affect your muscles, so your strength and range of motion typically return to normal once healing is complete. During recovery, some temporary tightness or stiffness is common, but physical therapy or gentle movement often helps restore comfort and flexibility.
Arm lift results can be long-lasting if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. While aging will naturally continue, the improvements in contour and firmness are usually permanent. Significant weight fluctuations can impact results, so maintaining balance is key.
