FAQ

Arm Lift in Vancouver: common questions

How much does Arm Lift cost in Vancouver?

Arm Lift generally runs CAD$6,800 to CAD$13,600 per procedure (both arms), and each Vancouver clinic sets its own price. The biggest variables are the provider's experience level and the specific device or product used. Newer technology and senior injectors price at the upper end. Pricing is quoted in Canadian dollars (CAD). Request a consultation from any of our listed Vancouver clinics for a personalized quote.

How often should I get Arm Lift?

Maintenance schedules vary. Most Vancouver providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6 to 12 months once optimal results are achieved.

Can I wear makeup after Arm Lift?

Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.

Do I need an arm lift or can a device tighten my arms?

Pinch the loose skin on the inner upper arm. If it is a thin fold that hangs and you can gather it in your hand, only surgery removes it; tightening devices firm mild laxity and will not shrink a hanging fold. If the skin is loose but still sits against the arm, radio-frequency tightening or a fat treatment may be enough. A surgeon will show you which by lifting the skin and demonstrating what removal would achieve.

Where is the scar and how visible is it?

For a full arm lift the incision runs along the inner arm from the armpit toward the elbow, placed so it faces the body and is hidden with arms at rest. For milder laxity a short incision confined to the armpit may suffice. The scar fades over one to two years and is the main trade-off of the procedure; most patients who have it say the contour was worth the line.

What is the recovery?

Compression sleeves for several weeks, arms kept relatively still and elevated for the first days, desk work at one to two weeks, and lifting or exercise at about six weeks. Swelling settles over a few months. The result is permanent for the skin removed, provided weight stays stable.

What does it cost?

Typically $5,000 to $10,000 for both arms including surgeon, anesthesia, and facility, higher when combined with liposuction or other body contouring. Not covered by insurance for cosmetic reasons.
