Arm Lift Before & After Case 325

This patient came to us with lipedema, a condition that was affecting her daily life, including getting around and driving her vehicle. The before photos show significant excess skin and tissue along the upper arms, with visible draping and laxity from the axilla through the lower arm.

Thomas M. Hagopian MD performed a brachioplasty with liposuction to address the excess skin and tissue. Brachioplasty involves an incision along the inner arm to remove redundant skin, while liposuction was used in combination to reduce excess tissue volume.

For those researching arm lift in Atlanta, this case reflects the range of patients who seek brachioplasty, including those managing lipedema, where excess arm tissue can limit mobility and daily function. The after photos show a noticeably narrower arm profile, with substantially less draping along the underside of both arms across all three views.
