Like all surgeries in which we seek to improve body contour, arm lift surgery seeks to restore the harmonious balance of the arms that may have been lost due to various reasons such as aging, weight fluctuations or genetics which create excess skin and or fat under the arms.
Brachioplasty or arm lift surgery is where the skin is ressected and the tissues are repositioned thus resulting in tighter and better formed arms.

Frequently Asked Questions About Arm Lift in Mexico
What are the steps to surgery?
If you are a patient who has seen alterations in your arms for some of the above mentioned reasons, such as having excess skin, loss of elasticity or changes in the shape of your arms, and you’re clear about your expectations, then this surgery may be right for you. Most importantly, you need to discuss your expectations with your surgeon.
Second, you will need to undergo medical examinations to determine your health status. These examinations include lab work and a preoperative cardiac evaluation. The third step is the surgeon will take pictures to evaluate the areas of concern and further will advise on the procedures recommended, details about those procedures including incisions and where they will be located, risks of surgery, pre-operative and post-operative care, as well as recovery time. Following this discussion, we will schedule a surgery date and you will be given the necessary information to prepare.
How long will your procedure take and what type of anesthesia used?
The surgery time will be approximately 3-4 hours. The type of anesthesia we use is light sedation typically known as “twilight” sedation, plus a local anesthetic. You may return to your home later in the day or you may stay overnight in the hospital and the surgeon will do a follow up with you before you check out the next morning. In addition, your next follow up appointment will be scheduled.
What will my incisions look like?
The incisions for this procedure are placed on the inside of the arm that typically extends from the axillary fold in the elbow to the underarm, depending on the case. These incisions are not visible from the front or behind when the arms are down.
When will I see my final results?
You will see the change in your arms almost immediately after surgery but you will have swelling for several weeks. The majority of the swelling will have dissipated within two months. It is very important to follow all your directions, so that with this we can ensure that your results will be optimum. Final results will be visible after about 3 months. The scars will take a bit longer to heal but with the proper after-care, they will continue to fade over time.
How long will my recovery take?
Recovery is gradual and you can generally return to your regular activities after two weeks of surgery. However, for the first 4 weeks, you will need to limit the movement of your arms and avoid strenuous physical activity as well as heavy lifting.
Regular follow ups will be scheduled to monitor progress.
