Understanding Brachioplasty: Arm Lift Surgery in Atlanta

Brachioplasty, or arm lift plastic surgery, is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess skin from the arms, particularly the upper arms. This surgical technique is especially beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, such as those who have undergone bariatric or gastric bypass surgery.

Who Benefits from an Arm Lift?

Patients who have achieved substantial weight loss often find that despite their health improvements, loose or sagging arm skin remains a cosmetic concern. An arm lift can help restore arm shape, improve body contours, and enhance clothing fit, ultimately boosting patient confidence.

Arm Lift Surgical Options

• Removal of excess skin and potentially fat from under the arms
• Surgical procedure typically lasting approximately two hours
• Customized approach based on individual patient needs

Candidacy for Brachioplasty in Atlanta

Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery are healthy individuals close to their ideal body weight seeking to address loose or sagging arm skin. During a comprehensive consultation, board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Singh and Dr. Abboushi will evaluate your medical history and aesthetic goals to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

Important Considerations

• Not a weight loss procedure
• Patients must be near their target weight
• Alternative procedures may be recommended based on individual goals

The Arm Lift Procedure

The arm lift surgery involves strategic incisions, typically placed on the back or inside of the arms to minimize visible scarring. Under general or local anesthesia, surgeons remove excess skin and tissue, then meticulously suture the area to create a more defined and contoured arm appearance.

Potential Combined Procedures

Patients often combine arm lift surgery with complementary procedures like liposuction to achieve comprehensive body contouring results. During your consultation, our surgeons can discuss personalized surgical strategies.

Recovery and Aftercare

Following the procedure, patients receive detailed post-operative instructions. Compression garments and potential drainage tubes help manage swelling and support healing. Our surgeons provide medical-grade scar management solutions to optimize incision recovery.

Recovery Highlights

• Same-day discharge
• Compression garment usage
• Specialized scar management
