If you are looking for the best brachioplasty surgeon to provide a tailored treatment, schedule your consultation with Dr. Pedro M. Soler. He also uses a custom approach with creativity and technical expertise to achieve great results. Dr. Soler performs arm lift surgeries for patients throughout Southwest Florida, including St. Petersburg, Wesley Chapel and Clearwater.
Arm lift surgery, or bilateral brachioplasty, is a procedure that removes excess fat, tissue and skin from the upper arm, focusing on the area from the underarm to the elbow. It aims to reduce or even eliminate all the excessive skin or fat from your upper arms, giving you smooth, firm and toned arms. The causes of sagging upper arms are genetics, aging or weight loss.
Dr. Soler carried out an arm lift under general anesthesia. He makes an incision that extends from the elbow to the armpit to remove the excess skin and fat. Even though the incision is in the most inconspicuous location, some scars will still be visible.
Durante su consulta individual, hablaremos de sus objetivos para descubrir si la braquioplastia es adecuada para usted.
As you age, your skin loses elasticity, which can lead to sagging upper arms. Weight loss can also leave behind excessive skin, which requires arm plastic surgery to resolve. You can also consider brachioplasty if your arms fail to lose fat through diet and exercise.
Besides improving your physical appearance, brachioplasty has other benefits like:
Since brachioplasty is a cosmetic procedure, insurance companies will not cover it. Therefore, you can consider a financing option like CareCredit, which enables you to pay for medical treatments through convenient monthly payments. Its limit starts from $1 to over $25,000.
Discuss your surgery suitability and potential risks directly with Dr. Soler during the consultation. Even though all surgical operations carry some risk, serious complications are very rare for arm lift surgery. If minor complications emerge, they will not affect the procedure’s outcome.

Si usted todavía se está preguntando si la braquioplastia es adecuada para usted, el Dr. Soler le guiará a través del proceso durante su consulta uno-a-uno en su oficina de Tampa.
En el postoperatorio, le colocaremos los brazos en una manga elástica o envueltos para ayudar a reducir la hinchazón. El periodo inicial de cicatrización oscila entre 10 días y dos semanas. Las suturas se disolverán por sí solas y cualquier hematoma o hinchazón disminuirá gradualmente en tres o cuatro semanas. Dependiendo de su piel, las cicatrices de la intervención tardan entre seis meses y dos años en desaparecer.
If you’re traveling to Tampa from more than 50 miles away, we recommend that you plan to stay for about seven days. The post-operation recovery period for brachioplasty is five to seven days. We typically remove drains and dressings at five days, but sutures dissolve on their own.
At your consultation, Dr. Soler will provide further details to help you plan for post-operative recovery. If you need additional planning assistance, please call 813-878-9889.

Dr. Soler is absolutely outstanding. After many years, one of my original breast implants ruptured, and I needed them replaced. From the very first appointment, he made the entire process smooth, reassuring, and stress-free.
