Sculpt & Refine the Upper Arms
For patients with flabby upper arm contours or the condition called “bat wings,” board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Armando Soto in Orlando, FL, can perform strategic arm contouring to restore a sculpted, tapered appearance. An arm lift can be instrumental in reshaping the upper body after aging or significant weight loss.
An arm lift is a cosmetic procedure performed to eliminate excess skin, tissue, and fat from the upper arms, resulting in smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking contours. Whether your upper arms have changed with aging or significant weight loss, arm contouring in Orlando can boost your confidence and help you feel more comfortable wearing sleeveless shirts, dresses, and swimwear.
Dr. Soto is known for performing a wide range of transformative body sculpting options to help patients achieve the attractive, balanced look they envision. The doctor can combine your arm lift with any of the following:
Liposuction is a gold-standard body sculpting technique that eradicates stubborn exercise-resistant fat cells from multiple areas of the body, resulting in a more streamlined physique.
This combination surgery is performed to help women reclaim their figures after pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing. A mommy makeover typically entails breast surgery, a tummy tuck, liposuction, and labioplasty.
Dr. Soto can perform a strategic thigh lift to combat bulkiness and loose, hanging skin in the upper legs. The surgery allows patients to enjoy a wider range of clothing options and heightened self-confidence.
With a tummy tuck, Dr. Soto removes bumps and bulges in the midsection, trims excess skin, firms the underlying muscles, and repositions the belly button to a more youthful-looking location.
The best candidates for microneedling are usually age 50 and under, who are beginning to see the start of aging and environmental damage but still have good skin elasticity. Microneedling can be used on all skin types and tones, but it is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
SkinPen® is a nonsurgical treatment that helps your skin produce more collagen and improves its overall quality. Benefits include:
Your personalized treatment journey with arm lift surgery begins with a private consultation at Dr. Soto’s state-of-the-art offices in Orlando, FL. The doctor will meet with you to discuss your concerns and provide the following:
You can expect your arm lift to take around 1 to 3 hours. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring a comfortable and seamless aesthetic journey. To begin, Dr. Soto will create an incision along the underarm, extending to the elbow, following the body’s natural contours. He will eliminate excess skin, fat, and tissue, and firm the underlying muscles to create a more sculpted, youthful-looking appearance.
Once all changes have been completed, the doctor will close your incisions and apply a compression garment to help reduce swelling as you heal.
Your Guide to Post-Arm Contouring Care
During recovery from an arm lift, you may experience swelling, bruising, and soreness, which can be managed with oral painkillers. You will be fitted with a compression garment to help minimize swelling as you heal. Most patients resume normal activities within 7-10 days, being careful to avoid strenuous workouts and heavy lifting for 4-6 weeks.
