What Is an Arm Lift?
The upper arm area is prone to developing excess fat and sagging skin. This results in a lumpy appearance, and some men and women may notice that the tissue over the tricep muscle jiggles when they use their arms. Arm lift surgery is a cosmetic procedure that removes the fat and skin to give the arms a toned appearance.
Arm lift surgery in Nashville involves making an incision on the inside of the arm from the elbow to the armpit. Dr. MaDan pulls the tissues taut and removes any excess before closing the incisions.
The surgeons at BEYOND Collective also use Renuvion™ to enhance the results of arm lift surgeries. Renuvion™, formerly known as J-Plasma®, is a minimally-invasive skin resurfacing and tightening treatment that combines the unique properties of helium plasma with the efficiency of radiofrequency energy to create a dual thermal effect. Renuvion™ is FDA-cleared for cutting, coagulation, and ablation of soft tissue during open and laparoscopic surgical procedures.
The Renuvion™ procedure is performed by inserting a long, thin metal cannula or tube into strategically placed incisions at the target area. The handheld device then converts a small amount of helium gas into plasma, which contours to the application area and evenly delivers the energy.

What is the Recovery Time for Arm Lift Surgery?
The initial recovery from a Nashville arm lift surgery may take up to three weeks. During this time, you will need to restrict your activities, and you may need to spend a few days resting at home. Common symptoms after arm lift surgery are swelling, bruising, tenderness, tightness, and discomfort. Dr. MaDan may prescribe medication to help you feel comfortable.
Your upper arms may be wrapped in a compression bandage to manage swelling. You should wear the bandage as described by our plastic surgeons. In about 14 days, you begin to feel well enough to return to your normal activities, but you should only perform tasks that are light in nature. Avoid exercising and heavy lifting until released by Dr. MaDan. Full recovery can take up to six weeks.

Arm Lift in Nashville FAQs
The longevity of results after any body contouring surgery, like an arm lift (brachioplasty), depends on many factors. Genetics, environmental exposures, gravity, time, and aging are all factors beyond our control and may contribute to recurrent laxity. Modifiable factors like weight stability, a healthy diet, and routine exercise are all within your ability to control and maintain your surgical results. An ideal duration for contouring surgery results is 10 years.
For a very small number of patients, circumferential arm liposuction (with or without energy like Renuvion) may be an alternative to an arm lift. However, most weight loss patients have excess skin that must be removed. An arm lift or brachioplasty is the only option to improve contour in the scenario with excess skin and laxity.
Yes, any procedure that requires an incision will leave a scar. An arm lift scar can be strategically placed within the bicipital groove, making it as inconspicuous as possible. Other scar placement options are on the posterior (back side) arm, which may be less desirable as the scar is visible to everyone behind you.
