Brachioplasty Arm Lift Rockville, MD | Dr. Adam Tattelbaum MD

Comprehensive Arm Lift Surgery Overview

Dr. Adam Tattelbaum is a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in arm lift surgery, serving patients in Maryland, Northern Virginia, and Washington DC. The arm lift procedure, also known as brachioplasty, addresses excess skin and fat in the upper arm region.

Understanding Arm Lift Procedure Options

Arm lift surgery involves multiple approaches depending on individual patient needs and skin elasticity. The primary goal is to remove excess skin and fat, creating a more refined and contoured arm appearance.

Arm Lift Surgery Types

• Fill Arm Lift: Tightens skin along the arm axis with scars limited to the armpit
• Extended Arm Lift: Extends under the armpit and along the chest wall, ideal for significant weight loss patients
• Short Scar Arm Lift: Removes a skin wedge under the arms, providing subtle results

Scar Management and Expectations

Arm lift procedures inherently involve surgical scarring. The unique anatomical location means scars are subject to constant arm movement, which can impact healing. Dr. Tattelbaum emphasizes transparent communication about potential scar outcomes and individual variability.

Candidacy and Consultation

Determining the appropriate arm lift technique requires a comprehensive evaluation of skin laxity, patient goals, and individual anatomy. Dr. Tattelbaum recommends a thorough consultation to assess the most suitable approach for each patient.

Surgical Considerations

The decision between arm lift and liposuction depends on skin elasticity. Liposuction is effective for removing fat in patients with good skin tone, while arm lift surgery addresses both excess fat and loose skin.
