Hi I have lost quite an amount of weight; and my breasts have sagged. I am wondering how much it is to have it re-lifted. And I'm not entirely sure why, but when I exercised; I lost weight all over except for my arms- how much would it cost to get liposuction on my arms and also lifted since there would be extra skin?
Answer: Arm Lift, Brachioplasty, Arm Reduction, Breast Lift, Liposuction, Surgery Cost Hello wanlirachel, thank you for your question. There is no fixed cost for this surgery. Cost depends on how much time the surgery is, your geographic area, and your selected surgeon’s schedule fee. I would suggest you seek consultation with at least 3-5 surgeons to get a range of fees. In my office, we always try to get insurance to cover these procedures. Based on your history, your insurance may cover a portion of these procedures. Do not necessarily go for the surgeon who has the lowest fee. I would suggest going to a board certified plastic surgeon with significant experience, and a surgeon you feel comfortable with. Please also request to see before and after photos of other patients that have a similar history and physique as yours. Sincerely, J. Timothy Katzen, M.D.

Answer: How much would it cost for a breast lift and brachioplasty? When it comes to costs of surgery, there may be many “variables” involved. The specific surgeon's credentials/experience level (or lack thereof), the specific geographic area you are looking at, the different operations available, the location of the procedure (quality of surgery facility), type/quality of anesthesia provide… are some of the potential variables involved. You will find some average costs of surgery listed on this website and on individual plastic surgeons' websites as well. In regards to outcome of the planned procedure, more important than costs of the procedures will be careful selection of your plastic surgeon. I would suggest starting with the American Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons. Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery. Ask to see lots of examples of their work and preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done. You may also find the attached link, dedicated to arm lifting surgery concerns, helpful to you as you learn more. Best wishes.

Answer: Cost of brachioplasty and breast lift. The cost of the procedures you are requesting depends on the where you have it done and who does it. Cost may range from $10,000 to 20,000. Large cities are likely to have higher costs but more experienced surgeons due to a higher volume. See several board certified plastic surgeons and choose the one who you feel will give you the best results. Costs are important but your safety and results are the most important.

Answer: How much would it cost for a breast lift and brachioplasty? Hi, first of all congratulations on your weight loss. It is normal in some cases see this because sometimes it becomes a little difficult to reduce your arms even with a great weight loss, having said that, you still have some surgical options, as well with your breast. The cost will vary based on which procedure is chosen and some many other factors. I recommend to visit a certified plastic surgeon for your best choice treatment. Good luck.

Answer: After weight loss; arm and breast lift fees The global fee for any procedure in my facility is a combination of:(1) OR fee for the accredited OR, (2)anesthesia billed by the hour with a board certified anesthesiologist who has been with my team fo over 15 years, and (3)surgical fee. The surgical fee is determined by my examination. Based on your statement, "I have lost quite an amount of weight" means that your skin may have a quality issue. How long has your weight been stable? Any other issues such as smoking, etc? These factors help determine the exact procedure to optimize aesthetics and longevity of your procedure.I hope this helps you make the best decision.Best of luck.
