Arm Lift Before & After Case 328

This patient came to us with lipedema affecting her upper arms, a condition that had limited her mobility and kept her from activities she cared about. The before photos show significant excess tissue along the inner and outer upper arms, with notable fullness and skin laxity extending from the axilla toward the elbow.

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

Prospective patients researching arm lift in Atlanta often want to know what the procedure can realistically address. For this patient, the after photos show a meaningful reduction in upper arm volume and a visibly narrower arm contour across multiple angles, with the incision scar visible along the inner arm as expected with this approach.
