Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) in Atlanta, GA

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Weight loss, aging, and heredity can cause significant changes to upper arm appearance, resulting in loose, sagging skin often referred to as "bat wings". An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, reshapes the under-portion of the upper arm, extending from the underarm to the elbow, creating smoother, more contoured arm lines.

DiFrancesco Plastic Surgery offers multiple arm lift techniques tailored to individual patient needs:

• Liposuction for patients with good skin elasticity

• Full brachioplasty for significant excess skin
• Extended brachioplasty for comprehensive body contouring

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

The optimal arm lift candidate in Atlanta is:

• At or near ideal body weight
• Experiencing sagging skin and excess upper arm fat
• Maintaining a healthy lifestyle
