Wave goodbye to arm flab

Reveal the arms you've been hiding under long sleeves

If sagging skin and stubborn fat on your upper arms are keeping you from feeling confident in sleeveless tops or raising your arms without embarrassment, an arm lift can help you achieve firmer, more youthful-looking arms.

Arm lift at Renuance in Murrieta & Rancho Bernardo 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

Real Arm Lift Before and After Photos

I am so happy with my entire experience with Renuance. I feel human again after having my abdominal wall restored after many pregnancies. It's amazing to again be able to do the physical things that many take for granted, and I love that the surgery results look amazing! Great staff and doctors. Super friendly and professional, and they really listen to your concerns and goals. Dr Ford is quite the artist! I would recommend to everyone, no doubt about it!
My experience has been great! The front desk ladies were so kind. The Dr who worked on me was full of knowledge and kept me comfortable during my procedure. My laser results turned out beautiful! i will be returning for future care!
I am very satisfied with the whole process that I experienced. All of the staff is very helpful and make me feel special when I come to your office. Dr. Ford is very personable and highly skilled and makes me feel safe and confident that she will take care of me while under her care.
Been coming there for years and just love everyone .. always a good experience, super welcoming and always a great outcome
Although the results of this kind of surgery are never guaranteed and nothing can be “perfect”, I am extremely satisfied with the outcome.
Im extremely satisfied because they were very professional. I came in last minute and they were able to fit me in their schedule even though it was a last min surgery. It was a very easy process and Dr Ford was wonderful!!
Had a positive experience, receptionists were all very welcoming and professional which is a plus, felt very comfortable. The RN consult before my procedure was awesome. Chelsea was patient, kind and a true professional. I appreciated her guidance and I am very happy with my results. Thanks everyone. I'll be returning.
Chelsea is excellent at administering botox as well as making me (and I'm sure all her clients) relaxed and comfortable.
Renuance cosmetic surgery made it very affordable for me to get an eyelid lift. They are seeing me regularly to make sure that I heal completely. Dr Ford and her staff are very pleasant and helpful.
Dr. Eichenberg was the only plastic surgeon I met with who said he could at least try to help me with my problem. I have very fatty anterior thighs - directly above the knee and no plastic surgeon would touch them. He is going to transfer fat to that area. I loved how he got down on the floor and really looked at my problem area.

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.
