Cost for Brachioplasty?
Probably should have had arms done when I had TT, Gynecomastia & hernia repair. But I'm already thinking of round 2 a little bit. Just wandered if anybody just had a brachioplasty done and what was cost and the amount of downtime you experienced before you could say bend over and lift ten pounds. Go back to work etc. I feel lucky I don't think I have it as bad as some women but bug the hell out of me now that I had other problem areas worked on. Has anyone had arms and thighs done sametime as well and what was cost?

Although I either need to find a pot of gold or a fortune cookie with accurate lottery numbers (and get a good case of amnesia to forget the pain of this surgery), those prices make me a little hopeful. Like he mentioned, something about having the other work done make the other areas much more glaring. Particularly interested in the thighs because I could actually carry off some cute, form fitting dresses, but everything is so short and I am not confident enough to work past these shar-pei thighs of mine. I never thought I'd be willing to deal with the thigh scar, but now that my waist is smaller, I have to get a full size larger pants to fit the thighs, so the waist is huge. Will it ever end???

The average cost seems to be 3-6K for arms. Mine were $3900. Best money ever spent. I felt good enough to return to work in 10 days.

I had my arm lift almost two years ago - Cost was $5,400 in Honolulu. I went back to work a week and a half later. I don't think I would have tried to pick up 10 lbs for at least a month. Had my thighs and breasts done at the same time - each procedure was about $6,500. I was off work for three weeks with that surgery. Good luck.
The thighs I think I can live with for a while as chaffing has never really been a big issue for me since I lost the weight. The prices on the arms seem reasonable enough maybe something I can do next year if I'm lucky. Possibly can get a discount If I go with same plastic surgeon that did my first surgery. Sounds like two weeks vacation would be enough for me to get back to work, which would be cool.
