Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) in Georgia | Tolson Center For Cosmetic Surgery

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery (Brachioplasty)

As individuals age and experience weight fluctuations, excess tissue can accumulate in various body areas, particularly the upper arms. When sagging arm skin causes self-consciousness and limits clothing choices, an arm lift procedure offers a transformative solution for restoring arm contours and confidence.

What is a Brachioplasty?

A brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the under portion of the upper arm from the armpit to the elbow. By removing excess skin and tissue, tightening underlying muscles, and smoothing the skin surface, Dr. Tolson can create a more youthful and toned arm appearance.

Ideal Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

The most suitable candidates for an arm lift typically have experienced significant changes in arm appearance due to:

• Substantial weight loss
• Pregnancy-related body changes
• Natural aging processes
• Genetic predisposition to arm skin laxity

Candidate Requirements

To be considered an ideal candidate, patients should:

• Be a healthy adult
• Maintain good skin elasticity
• Sustain a stable, healthy weight
• Have realistic cosmetic expectations

Arm Lift Procedure Types

Dr. Tolson offers three distinct arm lift techniques tailored to individual patient needs:

• Mini Brachioplasty:
• Upper Brachioplasty:
• Extended Brachioplasty:

Surgical Approach and Recovery

Performed under general or local anesthesia, the procedure typically takes one to two hours. Patients can expect some initial swelling and bruising, with most recovery milestones occurring within two to six weeks. Final results become fully visible after two to three months.

Long-Term Results

With proper maintenance through healthy lifestyle choices, arm lift results can be long-lasting. Permanent surgical scars will gradually fade over the first year, revealing refined, contoured arm aesthetics.
