Elevate Your Appearance with a Mini Arm Lift Surgery

A mini arm lift, also known as a mini brachioplasty, is a highly effective traditional arm lift cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arm area, resulting in a more contoured and toned appearance. Whether you're dealing with sagging skin due to weight loss or looking to improve the contour of your arms, this procedure can help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Dr. Meegan Gruber, a renowned board-certified plastic surgeon at Gruber Plastic Surgery in Tampa, specializes in performing awake mini arm lift procedures to help you achieve smoother, firmer arms. This surgical procedure uses advanced techniques to target and remove loose skin and fat, ensuring long-lasting results. During the mini arm lift surgery, a minimal incision is made under the armpit to remove skin laxity and fat, and liposuction may be used to contour the upper arm further. The procedure can be done awake using local anesthesia or under general anesthesia, depending on the patient's preference. Following surgery, patients can expect a recovery time that allows them to return to work and daily activities within a few weeks, with full recovery and final results visible after a few months. Dr. Gruber's expertise ensures personalized care and optimal body contouring results. Schedule a consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals and see if you are a good candidate for this cosmetic procedure.
