Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) in Knoxville, TN

What is an Arm Lift?

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms, resulting in a smoother, more toned appearance. This transformative surgery helps patients achieve a more defined and contoured arm profile.

Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

• Removes sagging or loose skin from upper arms
• Provides a more youthful and toned arm contour
• Increases confidence in sleeveless clothing
• Addresses skin changes from weight loss or aging

Surgical Approach

Dr. Jay Lucas takes a personalized approach to arm lift surgery. During your consultation in Knoxville, he will carefully assess your arm contour and skin elasticity. The procedure typically involves making an incision along the inside of the arm to remove excess skin and fat, creating a smoother and firmer arm profile.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from an arm lift occurs in stages. Most patients can return to light activities within two weeks, though strenuous activities should be avoided for 4-6 weeks. Swelling and bruising are common initially but will gradually subside. Following post-operative care instructions is crucial for optimal results.

Candidate Considerations

Ideal candidates for brachioplasty include individuals experiencing upper arm skin laxity due to aging, significant weight loss, or genetic factors. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Lucas will determine your candidacy and create a personalized surgical plan.
