Why this isn't your final quote

We can't give you a 100% exact number until your surgeon sees your case in your medical video consultation. Your final quote may move from this estimate based on additional studies your surgeon may need, your specific anatomy, or projected recovery time. Most patients land within 15% of what you're seeing here — we'd rather tell you that upfront than surprise you later.

Dr. Foraste is an excellent professional. From the first moment he transmits confidence, explains everything with great clarity, and his deep knowledge and experience are evident. His manner is kind, close, and human, which makes one feel heard and in good hands. I loved how he answered every one of my questions with patience and honesty, always prioritizing health and well-being in addition to the aesthetic side. Without a doubt, I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, ethical plastic surgeon with quality results.

Dr. Foraste performed my neck liposuction. He was careful at every moment, always attentive to make sure I was well during and after the procedure, as was his assistant. I'm happy with the results. He explained the post-op care in detail and was always available for my questions. TOTALLY RECOMMENDED!!

Frequently asked questions about this procedure

Where will the scars be?

Along the inner arm, positioned to stay hidden against the side of the body. They're permanent but fade significantly and are the trade-off for removing hanging skin.

Is liposuction included?

Liposuction of the arm is commonly combined when there's also excess fat, your surgeon confirms your plan in the consultation.

Do I need a recovery house?

Usually not, an arm lift is managed in a hotel with your compression sleeves. A recovery house is available as an option.
