Brachioplasty Arm Lift Lawrenceville, GA | Dr. Alvin I. Rosenthal, MD

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, addresses excess skin and fat in the upper arm area that can develop with aging or significant weight loss. This surgical procedure effectively removes hanging skin and restores a more youthful arm contour.

Why Arm Lift Surgery?

Exercise cannot eliminate loose skin or excess tissue in the upper arms. While physical activity improves muscle tone and strength, it does not address the underlying skin laxity that develops over time.

Surgical Procedure Details

The arm lift procedure involves a carefully planned surgical approach:

• Incision made on the inside of the arm from elbow to armpit
• Precise removal of excess skin and fat tissue
• Strategic use of liposuction to enhance contouring
• Careful closure to minimize visible scarring

Recovery and Results

Recovery typically spans a few weeks, though complete tissue remodeling and scar maturation can take several months. Patients often notice improved clothing fit and reduced arm tissue movement.

Surgical Considerations

Patients should carefully evaluate the potential benefits and drawbacks of an arm lift. While the procedure can significantly improve arm appearance, visible scarring is an inevitable part of the surgical process.
