Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) in Alpharetta, FL | North Atlanta Plastic Surgery

Understanding Brachioplasty: Transforming Arm Contours

Brachioplasty, or arm lift surgery, is an advanced body contouring procedure designed to address excess skin and fat in the upper arm region. For patients struggling with loose or sagging arm skin, this procedure offers a transformative solution to achieve a more refined and toned arm appearance.

Who Can Benefit from an Arm Lift?

Ideal candidates for brachioplasty include individuals who have:

• Experienced significant weight loss
• Developed loose skin due to aging
• Maintained a stable weight
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Procedure Details: Surgical Approach

North Atlanta Plastic Surgery offers personalized brachioplasty procedures tailored to each patient's unique anatomical needs. The surgical technique typically involves:

• Precise incision placement from elbow to armpit
• Removal of excess skin and fat
• Strategic tissue repositioning
• Meticulous wound closure

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients can expect a recovery period of approximately six weeks. Compression garments are typically worn for three to four weeks to minimize swelling and support healing. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous arm activities during initial recovery phases.

Potential Procedure Variations

Depending on individual requirements, Dr. Alderman may recommend:

• Standard brachioplasty
• Mini arm lift (limited-incision technique)
• Combined liposuction and arm lift

Potential Risks and Considerations

Like all surgical procedures, brachioplasty involves potential risks such as scarring, temporary numbness, and healing complications. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Alderman will help patients understand and mitigate these risks.

Cost Considerations

Brachioplasty costs vary based on individual surgical requirements. During your consultation, North Atlanta Plastic Surgery will provide a personalized quote and discuss available financing options.
