Brachioplasty, also known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms. It aims to improve the appearance of the arms, resulting in a firmer, more toned, and younger look.

It is an ideal solution for people who have experienced significant weight loss or who have sagging skin due to aging or genetics.

Brachioplasty is an excellent option if you have lost a significant amount of weight, either after bariatric surgery or through a strict diet.

It is recommended that you consider removing excess hanging skin on your arms if you want to reduce sagging that does not improve with exercise or improve the contour of your arms. If you want to feel more comfortable wearing sleeveless clothing, this surgery is right for you.

The results of Brachioplasty surgery are long-lasting. To maintain the results, it is essential to maintain a stable weight, as this is ideal for preserving the results obtained after surgery.

You should know that in an Arm Lift, the skin that is removed is from the inner arm. For this reason, the skin and scar in this area tend to relax a little over time, and the final result will not be seen until six months later.

If you are bothered by excess hanging skin on your upper arms, Brachioplasty may be the perfect solution for you.

The starting point for a  Brachioplasty is to have an initial consultation with the surgeon, who will determine if it is the correct procedure for you and decide on the technique to be used.  The conversation will involve comparing the deformity to the resultant scar to determine if the trade-off is appropriate for you.

This procedure is performed under general anesthesia and involves an incision on the inner arm, from the armpit to the elbow. Through this incision, excess skin and fat are removed. In some cases, it is complemented with liposuction to improve definition. The surgery typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours.

The cost of Brachioplasty can vary depending on the individual’s needs, but on average, it is approximately $8,000.

During the first few days after surgery, it is normal to feel some sensitivity and swelling in your arms. These symptoms usually disappear within a few days.

It is essential to wear compression garments to reduce swelling and promote better scar healing. You will be asked to keep your arms elevated to minimize swelling. Avoid lifting weights or making sudden arm movements during the first few weeks. You can return to your routine after approximately two weeks, provided you follow your surgeon’s instructions.
