Body Surgery
Brachioplasty
Arm Lift
This procedure allows us to remove fat deposits from the inner arms and eliminate excess skin that creates a sagging appearance. These issues often persist despite exercising and even weightlifting.
The length of the incision or scar will depend on the amount of excess skin for each patient. It may be located in the armpit for mild to moderate cases or extend along the inner arms when more skin needs to be removed, as often occurs with patients who have experienced massive weight loss after bariatric surgery. In any case, the scar will be positioned so that it is not visible during the patients' daily activities, and many feel encouraged to wear sleeveless shirts again without fear of their scars being revealed. In most cases, liposuction is performed as the first part of the procedure to remove fat deposits, achieve a more pleasing contour of the arm, and facilitate skin excision.
Shape the arms and restore their healthy, youthful appearance.
Results will be evident from the beginning, but the final outcome will only be visible after several weeks when the swelling has completely subsided.

Have Questions?
Here, you can find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions. However, if you still have any concerns, don't hesitate to contact me.
How long does recovery take after a brachioplasty?
Recovery time varies depending on the patient, but it generally takes 2 to 4 weeks to return to everyday activities. During this period, it’s important to follow post-operative instructions and avoid strenuous physical activity.
Will there be visible scars after the surgery?
Yes, brachioplasty leaves a scar along the inner arm, which tends to fade over time. However, the goal is always to make the scar as discreet as possible, and treatments are available to improve its appearance.
Is brachioplasty painful?
It is normal to experience some pain or discomfort after surgery, which is managed with prescribed painkillers. Most patients report that the discomfort significantly decreases after the first few days.
How long will the results of a brachioplasty last?
The results of brachioplasty are long-lasting, as long as a stable weight is maintained and a healthy lifestyle is followed. However, the natural aging process may affect the skin’s elasticity over time.
When can I resume my normal physical activities after a brachioplasty?
Light activities, such as walking, can be resumed a few days after surgery, but it’s recommended to wait at least 4 to 6 weeks before engaging in intense exercises or activities that involve the arms. Following the surgeon’s guidelines is crucial to ensure proper recovery and avoid complications.
