Arm lift: When giving cost of $5,000-$7.000 is that both arms or per arm?

When an arm lift is quoted in the price range of $5,000-$7,000, it typically refers to the cost for both arms, not per arm. This estimate usually encompasses the surgeon's fee, facility fee, anesthesia, and other related costs. However, prices can vary based on geographic location, the complexity of the procedure, the surgeon's experience, and other factors.

It's always a good idea to clarify these details with the specific clinic or surgeon providing the quote to ensure you have a complete understanding of what's included in the cost.

Typically that quote is for both arms, but prices vary from surgeon to surgeon an in person consultation would be best for a detailed exam and evaluation.always see a board certified PS.

Thanks for the question.  It is extremely likely that when a quote is given it includes both arms.
When it comes to costs of surgery, there may be many “variables” involved. The specific surgeon's credentials/experience level (or lack thereof), the specific geographic area you are looking at, the different operations available, the location of the procedure (quality of surgery facility), type/quality of anesthesia provide… are some of the potential variables involved. You will find some average costs of surgery listed on this website and on individual plastic surgeons' websites as well.
In regards to outcome of the planned procedure, more important than costs of the procedures will be careful selection of your plastic surgeon. I would suggest starting with the American Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons.
Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery. Ask to see lots of examples of their work and preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done.  Best wishes.
