BRACHIOPLASTY ARM LIFT FREDERICKSBURG, VA | SURGICAL ARTS OF VIRGINIA

UNDERSTANDING ARM LIFT SURGERY IN FREDERICKSBURG

The upper arms are common problem areas for men and women throughout
Virginia. As skin loses elasticity, traditional exercise becomes
ineffective in toning the arms. Surgical Arts of Virginia offers arm
lift surgery to help patients restore natural upper arm contours.

WHAT IS AN ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY)?

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to
address skin laxity and excess fat in the upper arms. When patients
develop bulges of fat and hanging skin, even with consistent exercise,
Dr. Palmer recommends this targeted surgical intervention.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ARM LIFT SURGERY

Potential candidates for arm lift surgery typically include
individuals who:

 	* Have attempted to tighten upper arms through exercise and weights
	* Experience sagging skin that hangs over the elbow
	* Want to restore natural arm contours
	* Are at a stable weight

THE ARM LIFT PROCEDURE

Dr. Palmer performs arm lift surgery under general anesthesia. The
procedure involves making an incision from the elbow to the armpit,
carefully removing excess skin and fat, and tightening the remaining
tissue to create a more sculpted appearance.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Following the procedure, patients' arms are wrapped to support healing
and minimize swelling. Initial recovery involves rest, with follow-up
appointments scheduled to monitor progress. Patients can expect some
temporary swelling, bruising, and discomfort during the healing
process.

COST OF ARM LIFT IN FREDERICKSBURG

Arm lift surgery at Surgical Arts of Virginia starts at $5,940.
Precise pricing is determined during a personalized consultation with
Dr. Palmer. Multiple financing options are available, including
