Candidates for arm lift surgery are often embarrassed by their large and “jiggley” arms which they can’t hide! George Solomon at Solomon Cosmetic Center in Tampa, FL, is a body-contouring expert who can give you the slim arms you have always wanted.
WHAT IS AN ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY) SURGERY?
Brachioplasty or arm lift is a body-contouring procedure that removes excess deposits of fat and skin from the upper arms. After years of obesity, stretching of the skin causes loss of skin elasticity; therefore, no amount of diet or exercise can restore firmness and tone to the upper arms. Another group of arm-lift candidates is those who, as a result of aging and chronic tanning, have developed upper arm flabbiness.
ABOUT THE ARM LIFT PROCEDURE
Before you undergo an arm lift, you will have a consultation with Dr. George Solomon. During the consultation, he will review your medical history, perform a physical exam and talk about your expectations. He will ask about any medications you are taking and may recommend that you avoid certain medications immediately preceding surgery.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THE ARM LIFT PROCEDURE
Arm lift procedures are performed to remove excess skin and fat deposits from the arms, reducing a flabby appearance and leaving patients with thinner, more youthful-looking arms. Under general anesthesia, the procedure generally takes approximately two hours to perform.
- An incision is created in the armpit, which hides the resulting scar. Dr. Solomon may need to create a more extensive incision running along the inside of the arm, from elbow to armpit, for the removal of a more extensive fat deposit and/or excess skin.
- Next, the removal of excess skin and fatty tissue deposits. Most arm lift procedures use traditional surgical methods. However,liposuctionsurgery can also be used if large areas of excess fat are targeted for removal.
- After the removal of excess tissue, the remaining fat is sculpted and the incision is closed with sutures.
