Arm Lift
An arm lift (brachioplasty) removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms, creating a more toned, defined contour.
What Patients Say
Is Arm Lift Right for You?
Answer a few quick questions to see if arm lift could be a good fit for you — or take the full Renewal Assessment for a comprehensive treatment plan.
What to Expect
An arm lift (brachioplasty) removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms, the loose fold that exercise alone cannot tighten. Dr. McGovern works to create an arm contour that looks toned and defined, so you can wear what you want without a second thought.
Ideal Candidates
For people with sagging upper arm skin from aging, weight loss, or genetics, skin that does not improve with exercise.
The Consultation
Dr. McGovern will examine your arm tissue, talk through scar placement options with you, and determine whether liposuction alone will do the work or a full arm lift is needed.
The Procedure
Performed at RenewalASC under general anesthesia, over 2 to 3 hours. An incision along the inner arm removes excess skin and fat.
Recovery
Compression sleeves worn for 4-6 weeks. Most patients return to work in 1-2 weeks. Avoid heavy lifting for 4-6 weeks.
Artistry Meets Precision
Dr. McGovern places arm lift incisions along the inner arm, where they stay least visible, and shapes the tissue beneath to leave a contour that looks like your own.
She carefully balances how much skin is removed with the arm's shape, aiming for toned, proportionate arms without over-tightening.
Cost & Financing
An arm lift at RenewalMD typically ranges from $7,000 to $10,000.
These estimates are for illustration only. Actual costs are determined after your consultation, and financing terms set by the financing companies are subject to change. Subject to credit approval.
