How much does an arm lift cost?

The average cost of an arm lift (brachioplasty) is $5,490, according to the latest statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. This average cost is only part of the total price – it does not include anesthesia, operating room facilities or other related expenses. Please consult with your plastic surgeon's office to determine your final fee.

A surgeon's fee for arm lift surgery will be based on his or her experience, the type of procedure used and the geographic office location.

Most health insurance plans do not cover arm lift surgery or its complications, but many plastic surgeons offer patient financing plans, so be sure to ask.

Arm lift costs may include:

Anesthesia fees
Hospital or surgical facility costs
Medical tests
Post-surgery garments
Prescriptions for medication
Surgeon's fee

When choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area for an arm lift, remember that the surgeon's experience and your comfort with him or her are just as important as the final cost of the surgery.
