Introduction
An arm lift at Lugo Plastic Surgery in Athens, GA, can transform your arms from loose and saggy to more toned and youthful-looking. Dr. Lugo will focus on achieving natural-looking results, allowing you to proudly show off those arms.
An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, reshapes and tightens the upper arms by targeting excess skin and fat, often a result of aging, significant weight loss, or genetics, to create a smoother, more toned appearance.
An arm lift can transform your arms by removing excess skin, improving their shape, and making them look more toned and sculpted. After witnessing the positive changes, many people become more motivated to adopt an active, healthy lifestyle.
The best candidates for an arm lift are those with significant excess skin or sagging in the upper arms.

Dr. Lugo believes every patient deserves the highest quality of care, which is why Lugo Plastic Surgery is accredited by QUAD A. This nonprofit, physician-founded and physician-led organization has partnered with thousands of healthcare facilities to raise and standardize the quality of care. Through its accreditation programs, QUAD A helps practices like ours demonstrate a strong commitment to patient safety while ensuring consistent, exceptional standards.
QUAD A officially recognizes facilities that have met 100% of its high standards. Accreditation assures the public that patient safety is the top priority. An accredited facility is re-evaluated through a yearly self-survey and an onsite survey every three years. Facilities must continuously comply with all QUAD A accreditation standards between surveys.
Our accreditation certificate signifies that Lugo Plastic Surgery, as an office-based surgery center, has consistently demonstrated the highest level of care and safety in meeting or exceeding all applicable state and federal guidelines.
After anesthesia, Dr. Lugo will perform liposuction of the entire upper arm, and she will then make incisions along the inside of your upper arm. Depending on your needs, excess skin and fat will be removed, and the remaining skin and fat will be tightened and smoothed to achieve a more contoured appearance.
Liposuction is often included with arm lift surgery to remove excess fat and achieve an enhanced result.
After surgery, you’ll need to rest and take it easy for the first few days, following Dr. Lugo’s care instructions, which include wearing compression garments to reduce swelling.
Most of our patients can return to light activities in 1–2 weeks, but avoid heavy lifting for 4–6 weeks.
The cost of an arm lift in Athens, GA, varies from $4,000 to $9,500.
