Arm Lift Before & After Case 221

Many patients consider an Arm Lift in Atlanta after significant weight loss or multiple lipedema surgeries. For this patient, the primary goal was to address the excess skin that remained in the upper arms after previous lipedema operations. They sought a more toned appearance and improved comfort in daily activities and clothing. We discussed options, set realistic expectations, and planned the procedure together to ensure the patient's goals were heard.

The Arm Lift was performed as an elective outpatient surgery. We removed the excess skin and carefully refined the underlying tissue. The patient’s early recovery involved mild swelling and a gradual return to normal movement. We provided clear instructions for incision care to support optimal healing. Our team emphasized follow-up visits to monitor progress and answer any questions as the patient's arms healed.

Three months after their Arm Lift, the patient noted a significant improvement. They described increased confidence while wearing sleeveless clothing and greater ease with arm movements. The absence of excess skin, especially after prior lipedema surgeries, was a meaningful outcome for them. Their recovery was steady and uneventful.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon, I focus on advanced techniques and patient comfort before, during, and after surgery. I draw on my clinical experience and background in emergency care to create a supportive environment throughout each step. Our practice values body positivity and open communication. We aim to help each patient see results that match their goals and support their confidence.
