  • "Bat wings" or loose, jiggly underarm area
  • Difficulty fitting into fitted sleeves
  • Skin irritation or chafing in the underarm area
  • Asymmetry between arms
  • Lack of arm definition despite strength training

Dr. and surgical staff were polished, professional and knew their jobs and carried them out perfectly.
I love everything about the Renuance Surgery Center. I immediately felt very comfortable with Dr. Eichenburgh which was my main concern going into surgery. He is so friendly, helpful and thorough during the consultation. His staff is amazing and I cannot wait to have my surgery done!
I left the consultation feeling impressed. Dr Hill’s confidence, caring, and compassionate approach were overwhelmingly positive. I felt well being there; the evaluation process was comprehensive/thorough. In a few more words, I feel comfortable that I will be in good hands. I’m a person of faith, and I feel that I was led to Dr Hill. Vinny’s compassion and professionalism were simply outstanding!
Everyone at Renuance is AMAZING. Starting with the front desk, they are very welcoming and pleasant. I have seen all of the providers here. Chelsea for my lip filler and Dr. Debbie and LoreDana have done some laser treatments on me. They are extremely knowledgeable and even tho i was nervous they made me feel at ease. Get your treatments at Renuance! you will not be disappointed
I researched many places, deeply researched each doctor I was interested in. Dr. Ford came highly recommended by personal friends, reviews from many different sites and forums. When I met her she instantly made me feel so comfortable, she shared not just the good, but also the risks without having to ask. She listened to my wishes and gave great advise and I couldn't have made a better decision to go with her. So happy w the service, the entire staff and my results!
There is a barely (and I mean the least minimal) scar that you can barely see right on my lip line. Her precision was excellent, it's like the cyst wasn't even there!
Office consultation. Very professional and thorough with questions regarding procedure and after care.
My wife had been there previously and we were very satisfied with both her results as well as the office staff. The office staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable ranging in everything from procedure, expectations, does and dont's, payment and most importantly communication. Both before and after they did their due diligence and were always available to answer questions. Both Doctor Eichenberg and his staff are extremely professional and personable in both the medical as well as the administrative side.
"I can't say enough about Renaunce cosmetic surgery and medical spa, the staff and Dr Eichenberg. The staff no matter who you encounter are extremely kind, attentive, and informative. I felt so taken care of and always left feeling good about my experience. This was my second surgery and Dr. Eichenberg is an amazing surgeon. I absolutely love what he has done for me and his work is phenomenal. It has changed how I see and feel about myself and that to me that is priceless. He not only is incredible at what he does but he always seems to make you laugh when you see him for your visits. I highly recommend Renuance cosmetic surgery center and medical spa for all your cosmetic needs. You will not be disappointed!"
Dr. Ford and Vinny were both very thorough in explaining all aspects of the procedure and what's to be expected and as well as the payment plans they offer.

Free phone screening

Before you commit to the procedure, get an answer to your questions in a free 20-30 screening with our dedicated surgical coordinator. They will explain the procedure and provide a price range. It’s a no-pressure chat to give you the information you need so you can make a knowledgeable decision without having to pay for a consultation. 

1:1 consultation with a surgeon

Come in for a surgical consultation where you will meet with the same coordinator from your initial call to review the major points from the screening. Then you will be introduced to your doctor and have an in-depth 30-45 minute discussion about the procedure. This is your chance to get detailed responses for your concerns, establish your expectation, and get a clear idea of potential results.

Your coordinator will return with a custom price quote, always within the range mentioned before. After that, you can either schedule your surgery or take some time to think.

Arm Lift FAQ

How long does an arm lift surgery take?

A typical arm lift procedure takes about 2-3 hours. If you’re combining it with other surgeries, it may take longer. We’ll provide a more precise estimate during your consultation based on your specific needs.

Will I have visible scars after an arm lift?

Yes, arm lift surgery does result in a scar that typically runs from the armpit to the elbow on the inner part of the arm. While visible, we place it in the least noticeable position possible. Most patients find that the improved arm contour outweighs concerns about scarring.

How long is the recovery period after an arm lift?

Most patients can return to light activities within 1-2 weeks. Full recovery, including returning to strenuous arm exercises, usually takes about 4-6 weeks. We’ll provide you with a detailed recovery timeline based on your specific case.

Can I combine an arm lift with liposuction?

Yes, many patients benefit from combining an arm lift with liposuction for optimal contouring. This allows us to remove excess fat before tightening the skin. We’ll discuss whether this combination is right for you during your consultation.

Will an arm lift affect my ability to exercise or lift weights?

Once you’re fully healed, an arm lift shouldn’t limit your ability to exercise or lift weights. In fact, many patients find they’re more motivated to maintain toned arms after surgery. We’ll guide you on when it’s safe to resume different types of exercise.

How much weight will I lose from an arm lift?

An arm lift is not a weight loss procedure. While you may lose a small amount of weight from removed skin and fat, the primary goal is improved arm contour. The most significant change will be in how your arms look and how your clothes fit.

Will the results of my arm lift last?

The results of an arm lift can be long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. However, natural aging will continue to affect your skin over time. Taking care of your skin and staying fit can help prolong your results.

How soon after massive weight loss can I have an arm lift?

We generally recommend waiting until your weight has been stable for at least 6 months before having an arm lift. This ensures your body has adjusted to your new weight and that you’re in optimal health for surgery.

Will an arm lift help with underarm skin laxity?

Yes, an arm lift can significantly improve underarm skin laxity. The procedure removes excess skin and fat, creating a smoother, tighter appearance in the underarm area as well as the upper arm.

Can I wear deodorant after an arm lift?

You’ll need to avoid deodorant for a short period after surgery to prevent irritation to your incisions. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to resume using deodorant, typically after your incisions have healed, usually within 1-2 weeks.

Will I have drains after an arm lift?

In some cases, we may place temporary drains to remove excess fluid and reduce swelling. Not all patients require drains, and if needed, they’re usually removed within a week. We’ll discuss whether you might need drains during your consultation.
