ARM LIFT TUSCALOOSA, AL | DR. ROSS E. BUNCH, MD

UNDERSTANDING ARM LIFT SURGERY

Dealing with excess skin can be challenging, particularly after
significant weight loss or as part of the aging process. At Plastic
Surgery of Tuscaloosa, upper arm lift surgery (brachioplasty) offers a
comprehensive solution for individuals struggling to tone and tighten
their arms through traditional methods.

WHAT IS AN ARM LIFT?

An arm lift targets excess skin from the elbow to the upper arm, often
referred to as "bat wings". This surgical procedure effectively
removes sagging skin and can dramatically improve arm contours for
patients who have not achieved desired results through exercise and
diet.

ARM LIFT PROCEDURE DETAILS

Typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general
anesthesia, arm lift surgery involves carefully excising excess skin
and potentially removing stubborn fat deposits. The surgical approach
includes:

 	* Incisions made as inconspicuously as possible
	* Removal of excess skin from elbow to armpit
	* Optional liposuction for additional fat reduction
	* Skin tightening and precise suturing

BENEFITS OF ARM LIFT SURGERY

Patients can expect multiple advantages from this transformative
procedure:

 	* Removes excess, sagging skin
	* Reduces localized fat pockets
	* Improves overall arm contours
	* Enhances body symmetry
	* Boosts self-confidence

IDEAL CANDIDATES

Arm lift surgery is best suited for individuals who have maintained a
stable weight, have realistic expectations, and are seeking to address
significant skin laxity in the upper arm region. Candidates typically
include those who have experienced substantial weight loss or are
managing age-related skin changes.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Patients will need to follow specific post-operative instructions,
including wearing compression garments and maintaining careful wound
care. Dr. Bunch and the Plastic Surgery of Tuscaloosa team provide
comprehensive guidance throughout the recovery process.

to normal activities within several weeks. Patients can expect
