Is an arm lift only for weight loss patients?

Not at all. While many patients pursue an arm lift after significant weight loss , others experience sagging skin because of aging or genetics. If you feel your upper arms no longer match your appearance or confidence, an arm lift may be a meaningful solution. At RBMD, we tailor your brachioplasty in South Barrington based on your individual needs and goals.

Will my arm lift scars be noticeable?

Each brachioplasty in South Barrington at RBMD involves some degree of scarring, but Dr. Burke places incisions strategically to reduce their visibility. Over time, scars often fade, becoming less prominent. We also provide scar care instructions and product recommendations to support the healing process, so you feel confident in sleeveless styles again.

How do I know if a brachioplasty is right for me?

If you struggle with sagging skin or stubborn fat in the upper arms, you may benefit from an arm lift. When you meet with Dr. Burke, she will assess whether a brachioplasty in South Barrington is the most effective option to achieve your desired outcome. Your comfort and satisfaction guide every recommendation.

The Arm Lift Process

Consultation

Your visit begins with a thoughtful conversation about your goals and concerns. Dr. Burke evaluates your upper arms, reviews your health history, and walks you through the surgical process. If you have excess skin or stubborn fat in the area, this procedure may be the right solution. We provide personalized guidance and can ask questions at every step of the decision-making process.

Procedure

Dr. Burke performs your surgery under general anesthesia, removing excess skin and reshaping the underlying tissue. The result is a tighter, smoother arm appearance. If excess fat is also present, she may use liposuction to enhance contour. Your surgical plan is tailored to your needs, creating an outcome that’s beautifully balanced.

Recovery

Rest is essential after your procedure. You should be able to return to daily activities within 5 to 10 days, though you should limit lifting, pushing, and pulling for 2 weeks. You should also avoid driving while on pain medication. Early results appear in 2 to 4 weeks, with your full outcome taking shape over several months.
