Arm Lift Before & After Case 257

This patient visited us seeking relief from persistent arm discomfort caused by lipedema. She had experienced swelling, heaviness, and tenderness in both upper arms for several years. After trying conservative treatments, she wanted a more definitive solution and began to explore her options for an arm lift in Atlanta.

We performed a bilateral brachioplasty combined with targeted liposuction. The procedure aimed to address both excess skin and the disproportionate fatty tissue typical of lipedema. Recovery progressed smoothly, and she reported noticeable symptom relief along with an improved arm contour.

Our goal with arm lift surgery is to address each patient’s unique needs. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, I value educating patients about every step so they feel confident in their choices. My background as a firefighter and paramedic shapes how I prioritize safety and whole-person care before, during, and after any procedure.
