Bilateral Brachioplasty Could a doctor please help me understand what it means to have a bilateral brachioplasty?

A: Bilateral brachioplasty

This term refers to an arm lift to correct the skin excess of both the left and right upper arms. It is commonly combined with liposuction of the posterior arms to achieve the best contour.

Bat Wings Arms Arm Tuck or Arm Lift for loose skin and bat wings?

A: Correction of "Bat Wings"

If the degree of skin laxity extends from the arm pit region down to the elbow, than a brachioplasty or arm lift is required to remove the excess skin. Liposuction is often added to help achieve the best contour. An arm tuck is a confusing term. Patients that have laxity at just the upper part of the arm may benefit from a short scar arm lift (which could also be called and arm tuck). TO see what id the best procedure to meet your goals, find a plastic surgeon with a lot of experience performing these procedures.

A: Cost of brachioplasty

The cost will really depend on whether a short-scar or full brachioplasty is required to meet your goals. The inclusive average cost is $4500-8000, depending on the amount of time required to perform the procedure and whether or not liposuction is necessary to achieve the best contour. It is best to talk to a plastic surgeon to see which procedure is best for you.
