The two questions

Before anything else

Recovery and cost decide whether arm lift is possible for you at all. Everything else on this page assumes you have answered these two.

Recovery

Most patients return to desk work in 1 to 2 weeks and avoid heavy lifting for about 6 weeks.

Cost

The average surgeon fee is $6,192.

That figure is the latest ASPS statistic , and it is the surgeon's fee alone. Anesthesia and the facility are billed on top, and your city moves the total.

Before you book

What should I ask at a consultation?

Ask about board certification, scar placement, and combining the lift with liposuction.

We check board certification against public board data and publish the source and the date on every profile. It is free for every surgeon and it is never for sale.

Common questions

What people ask about arm lift

Where is the scar?
The incision runs along the inner arm. It trades loose skin for a line that fades but does not vanish.
Am I a candidate?
The best candidates are at a stable weight with loose upper-arm skin, commonly after significant weight loss.
