Understanding Arm Lift (Brachyoplasty) Procedures

Arm lift surgery addresses excessive fat and loose skin on the upper arms, typically resulting from significant weight loss or natural aging. The procedure aims to create a more proportional and aesthetically pleasing arm contour by carefully removing surplus tissue.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

  • Individuals with loose and excessive upper arm tissue
  • Patients who have experienced substantial weight loss
  • Those seeking improved arm proportions and body balance

Procedure Overview

Dr. K. Dwayne Fulks performs arm lift surgery as an outpatient procedure, typically under general anesthesia. The surgical approach involves precise tissue excision and contouring to achieve optimal aesthetic results.

Surgical Technique

  • Carefully designed, individualized surgical approach
  • Strategic skin and fat removal
  • Focus on creating natural, balanced arm proportions

Recovery and Healing Process

Post-surgical recovery involves wearing a compression garment to minimize swelling and support healing. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medication. The final aesthetic result develops gradually over 2-3 months.

Important Considerations

While every effort is made to minimize scarring, patients must have realistic expectations about potential surgical marks. The specific risks and individual suitability for the procedure can only be determined during a comprehensive consultation.

While many others seem to have had a great experience with this surgeon, my journey was a bit more complicated—and in hindsight, disappointing. I was born with a congenital breast deformity, something I was told he could correct. I even have progress photos, though I’m unsure if I can share them here. From the start, something felt off. His bedside manner left much to be desired—there were several stray remarks that, frankly, could’ve been phrased with more tact or left unsaid entirely. But I tried to stay hopeful. It wasn’t until I consulted a different surgeon that I realized just how over his head Dr. Fulks may have been with my case. He might do well with standard procedures, but for someone like me, the results were far from harmonious. My breasts looked like they belonged to two different people—maybe cousins, but definitely not siblings. Still, the results were better than what I had before, and I tried to be content. But then one implant ruptured, likely due to a faulty product, and I found myself needing another surgery. Unfortunately, his office policies and my insurance clashed, leaving me in a bind. That’s when I found a new surgeon—and the difference was night and day. From the start, the professionalism was clear. I had a team walk me through every step, explaining everything in detail. And when I saw the results post-op, I was stunned. The care, the communication, the outcome—everything was leaps and bounds ahead of my prior experience. If you're looking for genuine quality, compassion, and results, I strongly recommend checking out Vanderbilt Plastic Surgery. The experience there was not only better—it was transformational

I am 6 weeks post op from a bilateral breast reduction and an abdominoplasty. Dr. Fulks was very informative of the surgery and what to expect. He also made it very clear that outcomes can vary from person to person. He did a wonderful Job. The office staff and surgical staff were amazing.

I was in the unfortunate situation where on a consultation I was fondled and photographed without a chaperone or the option of a chaperone (breast reduction surgery)I was overcharged for the consultation and then scolded when I paid it, apparently I was charged $200 and it was to be $50. I was never followed up with after my initial visit. This visit made me feel disrespected and insulted as well as violated. I ended up having the reduction with a very professional plastic surgeon in Michigan. He had a chaperone and NEVER put his hands on my breasts. Be careful ladies.

Dr Fulks did my breast reduction and I couldn’t be happier. He was the best. He was super nice and knowledgeable. Thank you Dr Fulks

I would definitely recommend Dr Fulks. He is an excellent surgeon. He is also a kind and caring person. His staff is fantastic! I can honestly say that he is my favorite doctor I have ever been to.
