The Cost of an Arm Lift in Philadelphia
According to RealSelf.com, the cost of an arm lift procedure in Philadelphia is about $5,325. However, the range can vary greatly, with costs as low as $3,800 and as high as $7,000. This price range mostly depends on the individual patient’s needs, the experience level of the plastic surgeon, and the surgical center where the procedure is being performed. The only way to determine how much your individual arm lift surgery may cost is to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. During this consultation, your surgeon will discuss your medical history with you, examine your arms, and provide you with a better estimate as to how much your surgery may cost.
*Individual results may vary
It’s worth noting that while most patients have to pay for their arm lift surgery out-of-pocket, some health insurance companies may cover the cost of the procedure. For example, if you keep getting severe skin infections as a result of sagging skin, your doctor may recommend that you undergo arm lift surgery as a means of putting a stop to chronic infections.How Does Arm Lift Surgery Work?
Arm lift surgery is surprisingly straightforward; in fact, most procedures take about an hour to perform. Before the surgery begins, the patient will be placed under general anesthesia. During the actual surgery, the plastic surgeon will make key incisions along the underside of the arm, above the elbow, and potentially underneath the armpit. These key incisions allow the plastic surgeon to access the arm muscles.Arm Lift Consultations Available
Once the arm muscles have been repositioned and corrected, the plastic surgeon will remove excess arm skin and close the incisions. The patient will only have to spend a couple of hours in outpatient before being sent home. The best candidates for an arm lift procedure are those who have recently lost a significant amount of weight, and as a result, have excess arm skin.Take the Next Step
