Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) in Tuscaloosa, AL | Plastic Surgery of Tuscaloosa

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Excess skin on the upper arms can be challenging, often resulting from significant weight loss or natural aging. Arm lift surgery, medically known as brachioplasty, provides a comprehensive solution for individuals struggling to tone and tighten their arm contours through traditional methods.

Procedure Overview

Typically performed as an outpatient procedure, arm lift surgery involves removing excess skin from the elbow to the armpit. Dr. Ross Bunch carefully designs the incision to minimize visible scarring while effectively addressing sagging skin and localized fat deposits.

Key Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

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

Surgical Procedure Details

The arm lift procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes a few hours. Dr. Bunch will carefully excise loose skin, potentially incorporating liposuction to address stubborn fat. Post-surgical care involves wearing compression garments and following specific wound care instructions.

Candidacy for Arm Lift Surgery

Ideal candidates are individuals at a stable weight who have excess skin on their upper arms that does not respond to diet and exercise. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Bunch will determine individual suitability for the procedure.

Recovery and Results

Recovery time varies for each patient, but most individuals can return to normal activities within several weeks. Patients can expect improved arm contours, reduced skin laxity, and enhanced body confidence following the procedure.

Potential Considerations

While arm lift surgery offers significant aesthetic improvements, patients should have realistic expectations and understand potential scarring. Dr. Bunch provides comprehensive guidance throughout the surgical journey.
