Arm Lift in Statesboro, GA
Consultations and follow-up visits at our Statesboro office on Merchant Way, with surgery at RenewalASC, our accredited surgery center in Savannah.
Arm Lift for Statesboro Patients
Upper arm skin that sags does not respond to curls or push-ups. Once the skin loses its elasticity, from aging, from weight loss, or simply from the genes you were given, the fold stays put no matter how hard you work the muscle underneath. An arm lift, or brachioplasty, removes that excess skin and fat directly, through an incision placed along the inner arm. What is left is a contour that looks toned because the loose tissue causing the problem is actually gone, not just hidden.
For patients in Statesboro and throughout Bulloch County, your consultation happens close to home, at our office on Merchant Way. Dr. Meghan McGovern will examine your arm tissue in person, talk through where the incision will sit, and tell you honestly whether liposuction alone will do the work or whether a full arm lift is the better fit. Pre-op and follow-up visits also happen in Statesboro. The surgery itself takes place at RenewalASC, our accredited surgery center in Savannah, about an hour away, under general anesthesia, over 2 to 3 hours.
An arm lift at RenewalMD typically ranges from $7,000 to $10,000. Plan on 1 to 2 weeks off work and 4 to 6 weeks before you are fully back to normal activity, wearing a compression sleeve through most of that stretch and holding off on heavy lifting. The arms continue to settle as swelling resolves, with final results visible at 1 year. Individual results vary.
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.
Why Statesboro Patients Choose RenewalMD
One trip to Savannah, the rest local
Your consultation, pre-op visit, and post-op follow-ups all happen at our Statesboro office on Merchant Way. Only the surgery itself requires the drive to RenewalASC in Savannah, about an hour away, under general anesthesia.
An honest look at what your arms need
Not every sagging arm needs a full lift. Dr. McGovern examines your skin's elasticity at consultation and tells you plainly whether liposuction alone will work or whether removing excess skin through a brachioplasty is the better answer.
An incision placed with purpose
The incision runs along the inner arm, from armpit toward elbow, positioned where it stays least visible as your arm moves through an ordinary day. Dr. McGovern shapes the tissue beneath to leave a contour that still looks like yours.
Recovery you can plan around Bulloch County life
Most patients return to work in 1 to 2 weeks, wearing a compression sleeve for 4 to 6 weeks and avoiding heavy lifting during that time. Whether you commute from Statesboro, Metter, or Claxton, the follow-up schedule is built around the Merchant Way office.
Dr. Meghan McGovern, board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, performs every arm lift herself, seeing Statesboro patients for consultations and follow-ups at the Merchant Way office.

Statesboro Questions

Is the surgery done in Statesboro or Savannah?
Your consultation, pre-op visit, and post-op follow-ups take place at our Statesboro office on Merchant Way. The surgery itself is performed at RenewalASC, our accredited surgery center in Savannah, about an hour from Statesboro, under general anesthesia.
How much downtime does an arm lift require?
Most patients take 1 to 2 weeks off work and wear a compression sleeve for 4 to 6 weeks, which is also how long to avoid heavy lifting. Final results are visible at 1 year.
Am I a good candidate for an arm lift?
If your upper arm skin sags from aging, weight loss, or genetics and has not responded to exercise, you may be a good candidate. At consultation, Dr. McGovern examines your skin's elasticity to tell you whether liposuction alone would be enough or whether a full arm lift is needed.
Where will the scar be, and will it fade?
The incision runs along the inner arm, from armpit toward elbow, set where it is least visible when your arm moves normally through the day. Results last as long as you maintain a stable weight, though skin quality may still change with aging.
