Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) in Muscle Shoals, AL

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Arm Lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a transformative surgical procedure designed to reshape and refine the upper arms. The technique involves strategic removal of excess, loose skin, often complemented by targeted liposuction to enhance overall arm contour.

Reasons for Considering an Arm Lift

• Experiencing significant skin laxity after substantial weight loss
• Dissatisfaction with upper arm skin appearance
• Failed non-surgical skin tightening interventions

Ideal Arm Lift Candidates

Shoals Plastic Surgery recommends arm lift surgery for individuals who meet specific criteria:

• Adults with stable body weight
• Individuals without significant medical conditions affecting healing
• Non-smokers with realistic aesthetic expectations
• Patients experiencing substantial upper arm skin laxity

Comprehensive Arm Lift Procedure Details

Surgical Approach

The arm lift procedure typically involves general anesthesia and takes approximately two hours. Surgeons create strategic incisions along the inner arm, which may extend into the axilla and potentially form a "T-shape" to optimize skin removal and contouring.

Recovery and Postoperative Care

Arm lift surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure, allowing patients to return home the same day. Patients will receive a compression garment and detailed care instructions.

• No strenuous activities for 4-6 weeks
• Limited arm elevation during initial healing
• Follow-up visit scheduled between 7-14 days post-surgery

Surgical Expectations and Outcomes

Shoals Plastic Surgery prioritizes personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique anatomical needs and aesthetic goals. During the initial consultation, surgeons will develop a comprehensive strategy to achieve optimal arm contouring results.
