Brachioplasty Nashville, TN | Dr. J. J. Wendel Plastic Surgery

What is an Arm Lift?

An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to address excess arm fat and loose skin. Patients experiencing "bat wings" or uncomfortable arm drooping can benefit from this transformative body contouring technique. The procedure removes excess tissue that cannot be reduced through diet and exercise alone.

Candidacy for Arm Lift Surgery

Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery include individuals experiencing:

• Significant skin laxity under the arms
• Difficulty fitting into sleeved clothing
• Excess fat and skin resistant to traditional weight loss methods
• Decreased self-confidence due to arm appearance

Surgical Procedure Details

Dr. Wendel performs arm lift surgery in a fully accredited Nashville surgical facility. The procedure involves carefully placed incisions on the inner arm, with length determined by the extent of skin and fat removal. Excess fat is surgically removed, and loose skin is trimmed to create a more contoured arm profile.

Procedure Variations

Incision locations may vary depending on individual patient needs:

• Minimal incision near armpit for minor corrections
• Extended incision from elbow to armpit for significant tissue removal

Alternative Treatment Option

For patients with minimal excess skin, Dr. Wendel recommends Morpheus8 Skin Remodeling as a potential non-surgical alternative to traditional arm lift surgery.

Recovery and Results

Recovery instructions are personalized to each patient, focusing on minimizing discomfort and promoting optimal healing. Patients can expect to see improved arm contours and enhanced self-confidence following the procedure.
