Arm Lift Surgery (Brachioplasty)

If you want to have arms that look great and toned, it’s important that you eat right and exercise regularly. Of course, this is not guarantee that you’ll be looking trim, toned, and athletic. You see, sometimes dealing with your body contour is much more difficult than that. It’s for this reason that many people visits a skilled Cancun plastic surgeon in order to get the look that they have always wanted.

About Arm Lift Surgery

Also called brachioplasty, arm lift surgery is a body contouring option that involves the reshaping and recontouring of the look of the upper arms. This is expecially good for dealing with the triceps and the shoulder area which can droop or sag and may not look particularly appealing.

Who should get arm lift surgery?

There are many people who might benefit from arm lift surgery. If you have excess skin or flabby upper arms as a result of age, for example, an arm lift can be a great option for your needs. For people who have lost a lot of weight, an arm lift is an important surgery to consider. Since skin can stretch out a lot and may not shrink to conform to a slimmer frame, the only option for looking your best is arm lift surgery.

Skilled Cancun cosmetic surgeon Dr. Alfonso Gonzalez Cepeda will use his knowledge and experience to determine if you are a great candidate for the surgery.

The Arm Lift Surgical Procedure

During the arm lift procedure, an incision will be made along the underside of the arm or the back area of the arm. The length of the incision and its placement will depend on your needs. Note that any scarring that occurs during surgery will fade over time and we will make our best efforts to be as discreet as possible. Through these incisions, excess skin and tissue is removed and underlying structures are adjusted. Cancun liposuction may be used to remove any excess fat deposits in the arm area.

Risks and Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

The primary benefit of arm lift surgery is that it gives your upper arms a more toned and appealing appearance that they would not otherwise have. As for the risks of surgery, these are the same that you may experience with any other surgery. These common risks include:

• Infection
• Poor healing time
• Allergic reactions to anesthesia
• Blood clots
• Excessive bleeding

All of these can be avoided through following our pre-operative and post-operative instructions.

Other Things to Consider About Body Contouring

Since arm lift surgery is often performed after major weight loss, many patients tend to undergo other body contouring surgeries as well, such as tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and thigh lifts. These surgeries will help restore a person’s appearance and improve their body contour.
