Arm Lift / BrachioplastyReal Patient Ratings

“This is the first time that I had ever truly looked into having this procedure. It was something I had thought about for years but was uncertain of. I had, what I felt, were ridiculous questions/concerns but the doctor and staff put me at ease. They answered all of my questions and explained what they felt would be the best course of action for me. I am eager for the date of my surgery and have no doubt that through pre-op and post-op checks that they will take care of me and meet my needs.”

Arm Lift / BrachioplastyReal Patient Ratings

“Dr. McGovern took time before the consultation to learn about me through my clinical record and through Stacey Armstrong, the nurse who provides all of the treatments I’ve received so far at the clinic. In doing so, she gave me so much confidence that I was a person first and a patient second. I have never experienced that with any surgeon before.”

What to Expect

An arm lift (brachioplasty) eliminates excess skin and fat from the upper arms — the 'bat wings' that no amount of exercise can fix. Dr. McGovern creates toned, defined arms you'll be proud to show off.

Ideal Candidates

Individuals with sagging upper arm skin from aging, weight loss, or genetics that doesn't improve with exercise.

The Consultation

Dr. McGovern will evaluate your arm tissue, discuss scar placement options, and determine whether liposuction alone or a full arm lift is needed.

The Procedure

Performed at RenewalASC under general anesthesia over 2-3 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.

Dr. Meghan McGovern

Artistry Meets Precision

Dr. McGovern places arm lift incisions along the inner arm where they're least visible, and uses techniques that create the most natural contour.

She carefully balances skin removal with arm shape to create toned, proportionate arms without over-tightening.

Cost & Financing

An arm lift at RenewalMD typically ranges from $7,000 to $10,000.
