Understanding Arm Lift Surgery

Loose, sagging upper arm skin can cause self-consciousness and limit clothing choices. Arm lift surgery, or brachioplasty, offers a transformative solution for individuals struggling with excess arm skin, regardless of age, weight loss, or genetic factors.

Are You a Candidate for Arm Lift Surgery?

Ideal candidates for arm lift surgery may experience:

  • Loose, sagging skin on upper arms
  • Self-consciousness in sleeveless clothing
  • Embarrassment about arm appearance
  • Difficulty finding flattering clothing

The Arm Lift Procedure

Dr. McAllister performs arm lift surgery as an outpatient procedure, typically taking one to two hours. The surgical approach may include:

  • Incisions from elbow to underarm
  • Potential liposuction for fat removal
  • Excess skin and tissue elimination
  • Skin repositioning for a smoother contour

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery involves wearing compression garments and following specific care instructions. Patients can expect:

  • Bruising and swelling for 10-14 days
  • Return to work within 1-2 weeks
  • Gradual improvement in arm appearance
  • Minimal activity restrictions

Important Surgical Considerations

Before arm lift surgery, patients should:

  • Discuss current medications with Dr. McAllister
  • Discontinue blood-thinning medications
  • Cease smoking prior to surgery
  • Follow pre-operative instructions carefully

I regret choosing Dr. Andrew McAllister at Coastal Plastic Surgery Institute for my second breast augmentation and mastopexy. My first surgery in 2019 went well, so I trusted him again in 2024. Huge mistake. I specifically requested the same implant style as my previous surgery, just in a larger size. Instead, Dr. McAllister used a completely different implant type without my knowledge or consent. I also agreed to a “lollipop” lift, but he performed a “donut” lift instead, which multiple other board certified surgeons have since told me was the wrong choice for my case. When I voiced my concerns at my post-op appointments, he brushed them off and told me everything would improve with time. It didn’t. He later attempted a revision, which only made things worse. During that revision, he removed what turned out to be a permanent suture without informing me of its purpose. He also injected Kenalog steroid to “fix” the pleading and scarring which left a noticeable blue mark on my skin that lasted over a month. Again, no warning was given about possible discoloration. When I tried to get answers after the in office revision, I was met with evasiveness, defensiveness, and zero accountability. Dr. McAllister was out of the country when I first called with concerns, but when I finally spoke to him a few weeks later, he was more concerned that I sought a second opinion than actually fixing my results. I strongly do not recommend Coastal Plastic Surgery Institute or Dr. McAllister to anyone. If you care about transparency, communication, and actual results, go elsewhere!

Dr. McAllister fixed a horrific surgical scar that left me deformed from an abdominal reconstruction surgery that was 30 years ago. I am 5 weeks post-op and the results are amazing. He is a talented surgeon and a caring person. His staff is professional, attentive and caring too. I highly recommend him. I am a Registered Nurse and was impressed with the care I received.

Great doctor and staff. Always very friendly and takes the time to explain and answer your questions. He knows I say I know you will tell me the truth which is reassuring to know that he does. He offices are very clean. I would and have recommended him to others. You will be in good and safe hands.

Dr. Drew McAllister is an excellent surgeon. I’ve been in his office several times and cannot say enough about the excellent care I received from him and his professional staff. He was very attentive to detail and made sure my medical needs were met. If I could give more than 5 stars, I definitely would.
