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.

Before and After Arm Lift


Our 75-year-old patient lived with excess skin on both of her upper arms, a common result of aging. She decided to visit Dr. Barone for an arm lift. Now, her upper arms are smoother and trimmer.

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.
