Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) South Barrington, IL | Renee Burke, M.D.

Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Loose skin and excess fat in the upper arms can cause self-consciousness in sleeveless clothing. An arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, offers a surgical solution to tighten and reshape sagging upper arm skin for patients in Barrington, Arlington Heights, Schaumburg, Crystal Lake, and surrounding areas.

Personalized Arm Lift Assessment

Dr. Burke conducts a comprehensive evaluation of individual concerns and skin tone to determine the most appropriate approach. Depending on your specific needs, treatment may include:

• Liposuction for fat removal
• Surgical skin tightening
• Strategic incision placement to minimize visible scarring

Surgical Procedure Details

Arm lift procedures are typically performed under general anesthesia. Incisions are carefully placed in the underarm or along the inner arm to minimize visible scarring while effectively reshaping arm contours.

Recovery and Results

Recovery timelines vary based on the extent of the procedure. Patients can typically:

• Engage in light activity the day after surgery
• Return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks
• Wear compression garments to support healing

Long-Term Expectations

Results can be long-lasting, though factors like weight fluctuations and natural aging may impact the surgical outcome over time.
