Hello- I am from Southern California. I am not at goal yet and not ready for plastics, but I was wondering what the arm lfst/removal of excess skin costs around here. I know it varies. If you had one, what did you pay, and what was the experience like? Suggested surgeons?
Thanks!

 I will be one week out tomorrow - The procedure cost me about $5,700 and so far I can say it was TOTALLY worth it!  I am super happy with the results - so far from what I can see.

Will be posting pics tomorrow - add me as a friend if you would like to see.

In Southern Colorado I was quoted $8,000 all inclusive.  I have not had it yet,   I chose to go with the Circumfrential Lower Body Lift  (11 days away!!) first.

The average cost seems to be somewhere between 3 and 6K. My bracchioplasty was $3900.

Not in S Cal, but I live in the Southwest (Tucson),

My 3 quotes ranged from 3,900 to 4,500 -- that included an Outpatient Surgery Center with a board certified anesthesiologist, full nursing care, pre-op appts and 1 year of post-op care.

I saw the PS the day after surgery, 2 weeks out, 3 months out, 6 months out (I will see him at 9 months and at 11 months).

My healing is going very well -- I still have a tiny 'crease' of skin near my elbow -- he said that is that has not resolved itself by my 11-month follow up, he will repair it in his office.

Good luck --- I am thrilled with the results from my brachio.
