Arm Lift Before & After Case 315

This patient underwent brachioplasty with liposuction as part of a broader treatment plan addressing lipedema symptoms across multiple procedures. Brachioplasty involves removing excess skin and tissue from the upper arm; liposuction was performed alongside it in this case.

The before photos show fullness and irregular tissue distribution along the inner and undersurface of both upper arms, consistent with the lipedema presentation noted in the case. The after photos show a noticeably slimmer arm contour with a more defined profile from shoulder to elbow. A scar running along the inner arm is visible in the after images, which is characteristic of this approach.

For those considering an arm lift in Atlanta, this case illustrates how brachioplasty with liposuction can address upper arm changes associated with lipedema, a condition in which abnormal fat accumulates in the soft tissue of the limbs. This patient's arm lift was one step in an ongoing, multi-surgery plan, and Thomas M. Hagopian MD performed it within that broader clinical context. Dr. Hagopian is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

The outcome shown reflects the arm contour visible at the time these photos were taken. The patient reported relief from lipedema symptoms as part of the overall treatment plan.
