Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Georgia | RenewalMD Statesboro

Understanding Upper Arm Lift Surgery

Unsightly sagging skin on the upper arms is not just a result of aging. Factors like genetics and significant weight loss can contribute to excess arm skin that traditional exercise cannot eliminate. RenewalMD offers specialized arm lift surgery to help patients achieve more contoured, refined arm aesthetics.

What is an Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)?

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce or eliminate excess skin from the upper arms. This transformative procedure addresses loose, hanging skin that can make individuals feel self-conscious about their arm appearance.

Procedure Details

• Typically performed under general anesthesia
• Incision runs from near the elbow into the armpit
• Incision placed in the most inconspicuous location (inner arm, toward the back)
• Some surgical scarring is inevitable but will fade over time

Recovery and Healing Process

After an arm lift procedure, patients can expect a structured recovery timeline:

• Initial healing: 10-14 days
• Suture removal: Within first 1-2 weeks
• Swelling and bruising reduction: 3-4 weeks
• Complete swelling resolution: 3-6 months
• Scar fading: 6-24 months, depending on individual skin characteristics

Complementary Procedures

RenewalMD may recommend liposuction of the upper arms to enhance the arm lift results, providing additional contouring and refinement.

Candidate Considerations for Arm Lift Surgery

Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery include individuals experiencing excess upper arm skin due to:

• Significant weight loss
• Aging-related skin laxity
• Genetic predisposition to arm skin sagging
• Inability to improve arm appearance through exercise
