Achieving Confidence Through Arm Lift Procedures with Dr. Schlechter
4 Minute Read:
For many women, the appearance of their upper arms can be a source of self-consciousness. Aging, weight fluctuations, and genetics often result in excess fat, sagging skin, and a “bat wing” appearance, making it difficult to achieve the toned arms they desire—even with dedicated exercise. This issue can leave women feeling frustrated or even reluctant to wear short sleeves or sleeveless outfits.
At Spring Ridge Plastic Surgery, Dr. Benjamin Schlechter understands these emotional and physical concerns, offering personalized treatments designed to restore confidence and beauty. With over 29 years of experience, Dr. Schlechter has become a trusted expert in arm contouring procedures, providing solutions tailored to meet each patient’s unique goals. Whether you’re considering a surgical arm lift (brachioplasty), or a laser arm lift, which incorporates liposuction and Renuvion™ Skin Tightening, Dr. Schlechter is committed to helping you achieve natural-looking results while ensuring your comfort and safety.
The Surgical Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
For patients with significant skin laxity and excess fat in the upper arms—often due to aging or weight loss—a surgical arm lift may be the ideal option. This procedure, known as brachioplasty, involves the removal of loose skin and fat to create a smoother, firmer contour. Dr. Schlechter skillfully places incisions along the inner arm, from the armpit to the elbow, ensuring minimal scarring.
As a compassionate and detail-oriented surgeon, Dr. Schlechter provides pre-treatment regimens that improve skin quality before surgery. This proactive approach enhances the overall results, leaving patients with more youthful, aesthetically pleasing arms. After surgery, Dr. Schlechter schedules regular follow-up visits to monitor healing and offer personalized care. His commitment to minimizing scarring through post-operative treatments and careful scar management ensures the best possible outcome.
Brachioplasty is an excellent solution for women who struggle with the physical and emotional effects of sagging arm skin, allowing them to regain their confidence and feel more comfortable in their bodies.
The Laser Arm Lift: Liposuction and Renuvion Skin Tightening
For women seeking a less invasive option, Dr. Schlechter offers the laser arm lift, which is ideal for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity. This procedure targets fat reduction and skin tightening through advanced technologies like Power Assisted Liposuction and Renuvion™ Skin Tightening. Both systems offer excellent results with quicker recovery times compared to traditional Brachioplasty surgery.
The Renuvion™ system, a state-of-the-art, FDA-approved technology, combines helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to tighten skin and stimulate collagen production. Dr. Schlechter often uses Power-Assisted Liposuction in conjunction with Renuvion™ to remove excess fat and improve contouring. Over time, the skin tightens further as collagen production increases, leaving patients with firmer, more youthful arms. He does also recommend a pretreatment Alastin™ product with this procedure that helps with recovery, and improve results. While some surgeons recommend using Vaser™ Liposuction in conjunction with Renuvion™, it significantly increases the risk of burns because this liposuction system and the Renuvion™ both put heat into the tissues.
The Smartlipo™ Triplex and The Precision TX System, though used less frequently by Dr. Schlechter, melts fat and uses heat to tighten tissue, providing another option for patients seeking non-surgical solutions. However, Dr. Schlechter prefers Renuvion™ for its superior results and more advanced technology.
Who is a Candidate for a Laser Arm Lift?
It’s important to note that a laser arm lift may not be suitable for everyone. Patients with poor skin quality, excessive skin laxity, or significant fat may require a brachioplasty instead. Dr. Schlechter evaluates each patient’s anatomy and skin condition carefully to determine the best approach. In some cases, where substantial fat reduction is needed but skin tightening is moderate, a laser arm lift might be recommended—but only for the right candidates. Dr. Schlechter’s honest, patient-centered approach ensures that women receive the most appropriate treatment based on their individual needs.

Understanding the Costs and Recovery
The price range for a laser arm lift typically falls between $6,000 and $8,000. The Brachioplasty Pricing Starts at $9,000 and goes up based on the complexity and length of the case. These prices include the surgeons fee, anesthesia, facility costs, garments and all post operative appointments. Dr. Schlechter often recommends IV sedation for the Laser Arm Lift, but in some cases, it can be down under a local sedation. IV sedation is required for the Brachioplasty. He tries to ensure the most comfortable patient experience and allow for a more aggressive treatment approach. While recovery is faster with laser Arm Lift when compared to the traditional Brachioplasty surgery, patients are still advised to avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks and wear compression sleeves to optimize results.
With years of experience and a compassionate approach, Dr. Schlechter provides women with the tools and confidence to enhance their appearance and feel their best.
In conclusion, Dr. Schlechter carefully evaluates each patient to recommend the most suitable option for their needs, providing safe, effective, and customized solutions for achieving beautifully toned arms.
