Your Top Arm Lift Questions, Answered By Our Surgeons
Will I have visible scars after brachioplasty?
We place incisions along the inner arm to keep scars as discreet as possible. As you heal, these lines fade and become less noticeable over time.
Are the results permanent?
Your results can last for many years, especially if you maintain a stable weight.
How long will it take to recover?
Most patients return to light daily activities within the first 1-2 weeks, and you can expect to return to your normal routines within about 4 to 6 weeks, depending on your healing.
How much does an arm lift cost?
The cost of your arm lift depends on the extent of your procedure and your specific goals.
We’ll provide clear pricing during your consultation, so you can plan with confidence.
