What is Brachioplasty?
Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reshape and contour the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. Often sought by individuals who experience sagging or “bat wings” due to weight loss, aging, or genetics, this procedure helps restore a smoother, more toned appearance to the arms.
The surgery involves making discreet incisions, typically along the underside of the arm, to remove loose skin and tighten underlying tissues. Liposuction may also be incorporated to remove stubborn fat deposits, ensuring a sculpted and proportional outcome.
For those considering brachioplasty in Chattanooga, TN, and the surrounding areas of Kimball, Nashville, and Scottsboro, AL, Dr. Carey Nease combines advanced techniques with personalized care to deliver transformative, confidence-boosting results.

Types of Brachioplasty
FOR TONED AND SCULPTED ARMS
Standard Brachioplasty
Ideal for patients with significant skin laxity along the upper arms, the standard brachioplasty involves an incision from the underarm to the elbow. This technique removes excess skin and fat, resulting in smoother, more defined arms.
Extended Brachioplasty
Designed for those with excess skin extending from the upper arms to the sides of the chest. This technique provides a more comprehensive contour, perfect for post-weight-loss patients.
Mini
Brachioplasty
For patients with mild sagging localized near the upper arm, this approach uses a smaller incision within the underarm area. It’s a great option for those seeking subtle yet effective enhancement.
