Time to get rid of that pesky arm flab

No more long sleeves, let's show off those arms

If loose, sagging skin and arm fat have affected your confidence and made you want to avoid sleeveless tops, an arm lift can help redefine your arms for a younger, firmer look.

Arm lift at Renuance (San Diego, CA) can address:
  • "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
  • Sagging arm skin that affects overall body contour
I was highly satisfied with my experience because from the very beginning, I felt very comfortable with how the office was managed. I feel that they were organized and communicated well with me. I have health anxiety and Dr. Ford made me feel as calm as possible. Her knowledge and expertise made me feel the most comfortable. Dr. Ford was very kind and patient. She answered all my questions before and after my procedure. She genuinely cares about providing the best results. She is absolutely the best in every way!
I love the way my lips turned out, and I can definitely see the difference on my forehead, lines have diminished quite a bit.
Dr. Ford is extremely thorough. She made me feel comfortable and took her time with me. She was in depth and gave me lots of information. I left my consultation feeling excited, confident in my decision to proceed with my BA surgery, and educated in the implant product and procedure.
As always Chelsea provides a service quickly and virtually painless. She takes the time to listen and develop a plan accordingly.
For years I wasted money on procedures that never gave me the results I wanted. I would be so disappointed that I would want to cry Not this time. Dr. Hill listened to me and now when I look in the mirror and I can't believe the results I interviewed several Cosmetic Surgeons before I met with Dr. Hill. Once I met with Dr. HilI knew I had chosen the best and the results prove I was right I wanted my neck and face to be tight and Dr. Hill performed what he called an extreme face and necklift. It looks natural and i couldn't be happier I plan on going back to have my forehead done I will never go anywhere else Thank you Dr. Hill
Dr. Eichenberg and his staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. They answered all of my questions.
The experience from start to finish. The after care and concern of the staff and doctor I couldn't ask for more .
Dr. Ford changed my life. My new body has given me the confidence I really need at my age after the personal trauma I just went through.
Dr. Filip is honest and very caring. He’s not out to take your money, he’ll tell you if he can or can’t do the operation and why. That impressed me. Also, the staff is very caring and personable, esp. Vinny and Ruby, Karen, and Noel. Love them all.
Chelsea explained everything before the treatment, asked if I had any concerns/questions. She was very gentle and I'm pleased with my results!

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.
