Arm Lift in Baton Rouge, LA,
With Dr. Robyn Daugherty
The upper arms can be a challenging area to address through diet and exercise alone. Your skin can stretch and sag due to weight fluctuations, the aging process, genetics, or sun damage. Elasticity loss prevents it from returning to its original position, leaving a “bat wing” appearance.
An arm lift with double board-certified Dr. Robyn Daugherty tightens and smooths the underlying tissues and eliminates excess skin and stubborn fat, revealing slender, toned arms.

What Is an Arm Lift?
Arm lift, medically known as brachioplasty, is a body contouring procedure that eliminates unwanted tissue. With tighter, smoother arms, you can achieve your ideal figure with the fit appearance you’ve always wanted.
Excess skin on the upper arms can cause physical discomfort or other concerns, such as:
- Rashes
- Skin irritation
- Decreased physical activity
- Hygienic concerns
- Difficulty finding tops or jackets that fit well
- Poor self-confidence and body image
An arm lift requires Dr. Daugherty to make incisions on the backs or insides of each upper arm. She often combines the skin removal with liposuction to remove any excess fat. To achieve optimal results, Dr. Daugherty may also remove tissues from the sides of the chest or underarm areas. After she sutures the remaining skin together, slimmer results are visible immediately.
Post-Surgery Scar Care With SkinPen®
Dr. Daugherty recommends SkinPen® microneedling treatments to improve the appearance of arm lift scars. This FDA-approved device creates thousands of microchannels to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Microneedling treatments activate your natural healing abilities, revitalizing your appearance with minimal downtime and discomfort. Most patients experience the best results following three to five sessions scheduled every four to six weeks.
