What Is an Arm Lift?
Technically called brachioplasty, arm lift surgery is a plastic surgery procedure that improves the appearance of the upper arms. At Weiler Plastic Surgery Group, we offer several procedures to help women and men attain the attractive, more youthful arms they desire.
How Much Does an Arm Lift Cost in Baton Rouge?
The cost of your arm lift depends on the surgical technique used by the surgeon and your needs. We will provide a personalized price estimate during your one-on-one consultation with one of our plastic surgeons. We offer a variety of financing options for qualified patients from the surrounding area, New Orleans, and beyond.

“Mini” Arm Lift
An arm lift can be beneficial for patients who have excess skin due to weight loss or the natural aging process. When an arm lift is performed with liposuction, your surgeon removes the fat along with any excess skin. This procedure changes the appearance of the arms, therefore enhancing comfort and restoring self-confidence.*
Brachioplasty can help you regain the natural shape of your arms that has been lost over time or with weight gain. You don’t have to feel insecure about your arms or wear only long-sleeve shirts anymore when you consult with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons about cosmetic surgery for your arms.
Brachioplasty/Arm Lift
This procedure is reserved for patients who suffer from a condition known as batwing deformity, where a tremendous amount of skin hangs from the middle aspects of the arm. Your surgeon places the incision on the inner portion of the arm so the scar is not visible when the arms are resting next to the body. There are varying levels of arm lifts depending on the nature of your personal needs. For some, an arm lift is simple and involves a little bit of liposuction and a little bit of skin reduction. For others, it can be an extensive procedure that truly provides drastic and incredible results.*
Are You a Good Candidate for an Arm Lift?
- Skin laxity in arms due to weight loss or the natural aging process
- Excess fat in arms
- Discomfort due to excess fat or skin

Incision Placement
Many patients desire the removal of excess fat and skin but prefer minimal scarring. Our plastic surgeons perform minimal-access brachioplasty for patients who are only looking to improve the region of the arm close to the axilla (armpit). This incision hides well in the armpit crease and becomes virtually invisible with time.* This type of arm lift is not indicated for massive weight loss patients.
Your Surgical Experience
Arm lifts are performed at Weiler Plastic Surgery under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Patients will need someone to drive them home after the surgery and have someone stay with them for a day or two after surgery. A garment or ace wrap is applied after surgery and should be worn for four to six weeks. All current medications you are currently taking will be reviewed at your preoperative appointment and we will inform you if anything you are taking will need to be stopped prior to surgery.
The Consultation Process
No matter if you’re a Baton Rouge local or driving in from New Orleans, our plastic surgeons and their office staff will make your plastic surgery experience as easy and comfortable as possible. You will be able to discuss your areas of concern and goals for your arm lift surgery. A physical exam will be performed to assess your arm area, skin, and excess fat deposits. You will be given a recommendation for the most effective procedure to meet, and exceed, your expressed goals as well as alternative treatments.* At Weiler Plastic Surgery, we like for you to take as much time as you need to have all of your questions answered. Your satisfaction, desires, and goals are our primary concern.
What to Expect After Surgery
We like to see our patients back at the office one to two days after surgery. At this time dressings are taken off and incisions are assessed. Concerns are addressed and instructions are reviewed for optimal recovery. At this visit you will be allowed to go home and shower with your compression garment on. You should expect some swelling and bruising initially, which will subside over the next couple of weeks. You will return to the office seven days post surgery and again at two weeks for follow-up visits.
Post-Op Activity Restrictions
Patient’s recovery after arm lift procedures are variable, but most patients are able to return to work within five to seven days and are back to normal activities within two weeks.* Strenuous activity and weight lifting is to be avoided for the first few weeks.
For one full year following your surgery, we invite you to enjoy special discounts and rewards through our Post-Op Perks program.
