Question:
I was wondering if anyone had an idea how much it cost to have the surgery on your

legs? Also can you have the TT, legs, and arms done at the same time and how long are you hospitalized? Thanks    — jan M. (posted on May 29, 2002)

My plastic surgeon's fee for a panniculectomy was $3000, and his fee for a bilateral brachioplasty (armlift) was $3200. There was an additional $1000 or so for anesthesia, drugs, etc... I had my tummy and arms done at the same time and that surgery took approximately 5 hours. I was scheduled to be in the hospital only overnight, but ended up staying longer due to some medication-related complications. My surgeon wanted to keep operating time at a minimum, and advised scheduling another surgical date if I wanted any further plastic surgery done later on. Many surgeons will combine tummy tuck and breast lift procedures...it is my understanding that thighlift procedures are fairly long all by themselves. Best wishes!

I am looking at a total of $13,050 for brachioplasty, mastoplexy, adominoplasty and thigh lift, being done all at once by USC. Will probably go the route of a home equityloan to pay for all of it.

Having a tt, thigh lift and arm lift is quite a bit of work, but you may find a surgeon willing to do it. I wanted my thigh lift and arm lift done at the same time, but my surgeon did not think it should be done. I know many doctors will combine an arm lift with a tt and some a thigh lift with a tt. As for costs, it cost me 10,000.00 for a circumfrential thigh/buttocks lift (also removed excess skin from my groin to my knee). That included a two day hospital stay. The doctor quoted apx. $7,000.00 for arm lift and removal of skin at my bra line. This includes anethesia and hospital fees (he does all of his surgeries in a hospital). Best of luck!
