Friends call them “bat wings.” You call them “completely unwanted.”
Patients of all ages come to Artisan Plastic Surgery and Artisan Beauté to remove sagging skin or fat on the upper arms. With our brachioplasty arm lift in Atlanta, the best arm lift surgeon in North Georgia can restore your confidence.
Request an appointment for a consultation, and get back to wearing what you want.
The Art of the Upper Arm Lift
For this excess arm skin removal procedure, our surgeons carefully place incisions in natural body folds. From there, we remove the excess skin and fat causing the “bat wings.”
Artisan’s brachioplasty technique provides advanced scar concealment, and we also offer multiple post-operative options to help improve any residual appearance of scarring.
Your arm skin laxity treatment can last a lifetime with weight maintenance and a healthy lifestyle. Our women-led clinic specializes in a 360° approach to female aesthetics and wellness, so we empower you to continue your healthcare journey.

What is a good age for brachioplasty?
Patients of almost any age can choose a brachioplasty arm lift in Atlanta. Candidacy just means a desire to reduce discomfort from extra skin drooping off the upper arm.
Several things can cause that sagging, including:
- The natural effects of aging
- A large, recent weight reduction
- Postpartum weight loss
How painful is arm lift surgery?
We perform the surgery under anesthesia, so you don’t feel pain during the procedure.
You will likely experience some discomfort during the recovery period, which can include:
- Bruising
- Swelling
- Itching during healing
You need to wear a compression garment on your upper arms during the recovery window, and we can prescribe medications and over-the-counter pain relievers for improved comfort.
