Why Patients Choose Dr. Barone for Arm Lift Surgery

Fewer Side Effects & Minimal Scarring

Dr. Barone places arm lift incisions along the inner arm or on the back so clothing and natural arm position keep them out of view. Awake surgery under local anesthesia means less post-op grogginess, so you can start the gentle arm movement your recovery calls for right away.

Two-Decade Refinement of Contouring Procedures

Dr. Barone has been performing arm lifts across her general surgery and plastic surgery careers, refined across two decades and taught to the plastic surgery residents she mentors as Chief of Plastic Surgery at the Long School of Medicine at UT Health San Antonio.

Recognized for Exemplary Results

Dr. Barone has been recognized both locally and nationally for her abilities as a plastic surgeon in San Antonio, TX. For instance, she has been listed among San Antonio's Top Doctors, as well as America's Top Doctors.

Jeanette’s Body 
Contouring Journey

After losing over 100 pounds, Jeanette lived with loose skin. Dr. Barone was able to safely perform brachioplasty for her to achieve the toned look Jeanette wanted. This was combined with a tummy tuck for flattering comprehensive results.

Arm Lift Cost and Financing

An arm lift with Dr. Barone in San Antonio starts around $3,000. Two variables typically move the price up or down: liposuction added to the arm lift, and concierge-service arrangements for out-of-town patients. Loose-skin volume also plays into the final estimate, and Dr. Barone quotes each patient at the consultation once she has examined the arms.

Financing Partners

Financing runs through two partners we work with regularly, ALPHAEON and CareCredit®. Both offer low-interest medical loans, and patients are also welcome to pay by cash, credit card, or check. At the consultation, our team walks through the numbers with you so nothing about cost catches you off guard.

What Causes Loose Upper Arm Skin?

Genetics

For some people, no matter what weight they are, they may still have loose upper arm skin. That's because there's a genetic component to this condition.

Weight Loss

Patients can feel discouraged after significant weight loss if they notice loose skin. However, it's a completely normal effect that happens on a weight loss journey. If it impacts your confidence, plastic surgery can help.

Aging

As we age, skin all over our body can begin to sag and droop. It's perfectly common, and many people live with it. If it impacts your self-esteem or the fit of your clothes, you can visit Dr. Barone for an arm lift consultation.

Consultation

First, Dr. Barone will meet with you privately during a consultation at her San Antonio office. She will listen to what you have to say, and explain your options. She also offers virtual consultations for your convenience.

Sedation

Before your procedure, we'll make sure you're fully relaxed. Dr. Barone uses local anesthesia during arm lifts, allowing patients to remain comfortable without experiencing the side effects of general anesthesia.

Incision

When it's time for your procedure, Dr. Barone will start with incisions marked underneath your arms or on your back. 

Removal

Next, Dr. Barone will remove loose skin that is causing compromised definition. 

Liposuction

If you have stubborn fat deposits in the upper arms, Dr. Barone can remove them using liposuction.

Sutures

Dr. Barone will close the incisions using sutures, tightening upper arm skin in the process. She'll also cover the area with bandages, so that it can stay protected.

Recovery

Recovery from brachioplasty can require one to two weeks away from work. Avoid strain during this time, but be sure to take short walks from time to time to promote blood flow, which is essential to proper healing.
