Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) in Atlanta, GA

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

An arm lift, clinically known as brachioplasty, is a transformative surgical procedure designed to restore a firmer, more youthful appearance to the upper arms. This treatment addresses loose, sagging skin that can result from aging, significant weight loss, or genetic factors.

Who Benefits from Arm Lift Surgery?

• Individuals with excess skin on upper arms
• Patients who have lost significant weight
• Those experiencing reduced skin elasticity due to aging
• People seeking improved arm contour and self-confidence

Surgical Procedure Details

Artisan Plastic Surgery performs brachioplasty as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. The surgical approach involves:

• Linear incision on the underside of the upper arm
• Removal of excess skin and fat
• Tightening of underlying tissues
• Strategically placed incisions to minimize visible scarring

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery involves wearing compression garments and following specific activity guidelines. Most patients can expect:

• Return to desk jobs within one week
• Resume light exercise after 2-3 weeks
• Gradual fading of surgical scars

Candidacy Requirements

Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery have maintained a stable weight and possess realistic expectations about surgical outcomes. Diet and exercise can reduce fat, but cannot address loose, stretched skin, making brachioplasty an effective solution.
