Upper Arm Liposuction - Jacksonville Plastic Surgery

Liposuction and sculpturing of the arm can create a slimmer more youthful look to your arm. Patients who do not have much excess skin, but have some areas of excess fat are excellent candidates. The results can be very rewarding with minimal scarring (2-3 small < 1cm incisions). To learn more, please schedule a consultation with Dr. Desai and our Jacksonville plastic surgery team.

Arm Lift / Brachioplasty - Jacksonville Plastic Surgery

An Arm lift or brachioplasty involves removal of the excess skin and fat of the upper arms in exchange for a scar. The tradeoff is usually acceptable to most patients. There are a number of different ways to perform a brachioplasty, including the mini-brachioplasty, L-brachioplasty, and standard brachioplasty, and Dr. Desai has experience with all of them. The mini-brachioplasty is a minimally invasive approach where the scar hides in the armpit. However, for patients with lots of excess skin, a scar down the arm to the elbow will likely be required. An L-brachioplasty, which extends onto the chest, is most often used in patients that have lost a significant amount of weight (i.e. after bariatric surgery). Depending on your body type and requirements, Dr. Desai will discuss your options with you to help you decide which procedure best suits your desires.
