As a premier, nationally recognized plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael Horn delivers incredible results that are completely personalized to meet your goals, no matter what type of aesthetic refinement you are looking to achieve. At Michael Horn Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, the entire team is ready to walk alongside you during your Brachioplasty in Boca Raton, FL, to ensure you are well-informed and thrilled with the results.
A brachioplasty focuses on correcting sagging skin and stubborn pockets of fat in the upper arm area that may hang under the arm when it is held up. This kind of sagging could be related to weight loss, aging, or general loss of skin elasticity. Known clinically as a brachioplasty, your surgeon will make a discreet incision, remove excess skin and fat in the arm, and sculpt the remaining tissue for a contoured, attractive result.
While these two procedures have similar goals, they vary in scope and ultimate results. Liposuction uses specialized instruments and tiny incisions to suction out areas of unwanted fat in the arm in order to see a more toned appearance. However, it does not address excessive loose skin. Brachioplasty removes fat and loose skin, and your surgeon will close the incision in such a way as to produce a tightened and contoured look. For a comprehensive result, liposuction may be used during a brachioplasty procedure for maximum effect.
One of the best parts of undergoing an Arm Lift is the confidence to wear what you want, whenever you want. Whether it's a quick shopping trip or a night out, feel comfortable in that tank top again. No more sweating through the summer in sleeves or hesitating on swimwear options. Our Boca Raton Brachioplasty patients can enjoy:
Ideal candidates for brachioplasty are generally wanting to eliminate excess skin and fat from the upper arm and see a tighter, more toned appearance. Candidates should be in overall good health to undergo surgery and preferably close to their goal weight to maintain results.
Your consultation with Dr. Horn will include a discussion about the procedure, your aesthetic goals, and your health history. If we determine that this is the ideal procedure for you, a comprehensive treatment plan will be created and we will provide full preparation details including possible lab work or medication adjustments.
Your comfort is our top priority. We work to ensure that each patient receives outstanding care from start to finish. This procedure is outpatient, usually performed with general anesthesia, and takes about two to four hours. An incision will be made from near the armpit to the elbow, and excess skin and fat will be removed, resulting in a tighter upper arm look.

While a brachioplasty is considered a safe procedure when performed by a qualified professional, every surgery does come with certain risks, which will be discussed during your consultation.
The results after a brachioplasty are considered long-lasting or permanent since this is a surgical alteration. Extreme weight changes could affect the results, so it's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
For most patients, downtime is about seven to ten days, and fully resuming daily tasks is usually cleared in around two weeks.
