Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) in Atlanta, GA
Brachioplasty or arm lifts are increasing in popularity. For patients with excess in their upper arms, a brachioplasty is the best option to tighten the skin and create a beautiful arm contour. Here in Atlanta, the summers are hot! Patients want to feel comfortable wearing short sleeve shirts and sundresses. The arm lift can give them the confidence to show off their “guns” that in the past have been hiding under too much skin.
If you’ve lost a significant amount of weight or have found your skin in this area has become lax over time, Dr. Alderman provides cosmetic arm lift surgery in Atlanta, GA, near Buckhead.
Can You Benefit from an Arm Lift?
All ages can benefit from this procedure. The optimal patient is the one who has put in the time and effort to achieve the optimal body weight and strengthen the arms, but who cannot visualize their efforts due to the excess skin. One of Dr. Alderman’s most memorable patients was a young lady in her 30s who had lost a significant amount of weight, was working out at the gym every day, but was depressed because she could not see the results of all of her hard work and felt self-conscious in short sleeve shirts.
For patients who have worked diligently to achieve a healthy weight, this procedure can provide a significant boost in confidence as a reward for all of their hard effort. Weight loss and achieving better health make many patients feel beautiful, and brachioplasty can provide a gorgeous arm contour to match the rest of your figure. Dr. Alderman cherishes creating these amazing moments for her arm lift patients and their families.

Dr. Alderman helps patients choose their approach to surgery after careful consideration of the scars. If she thinks she can make an improvement with liposuction only, that is the recommended treatment method so patients can benefit from minimal visible scarring. Liposuction will remove any unwanted excess fat in the upper arm with minimal scars. Liposuction is a same-day, minimally invasive treatment and is recommended whenever possible.
However, liposuction will not tighten the arm skin and is not the preferred procedure when a significant amount of weight has been lost. Many patients are frustrated when weightlifting and exercise tone their arm muscles but the surrounding excess skin covers up all of their hard work. Brachioplasty (which can be performed with liposuction of the arms) is the best way to tighten the sagging skin and improve arm contour.
