Transform Your Arms: Sculpt and Tone with an Arm Lift

An arm lift (brachioplasty) is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms, helping to restore a more youthful, firm appearance. Whether it's due to weight loss, aging, or genetics, an arm lift can improve the contours of your arms and boost your self-esteem. Ideal for those who struggle with sagging skin or stubborn fat on the upper arms, this procedure offers a smoother, more defined look.

Types of Treatment

Leading Up to Your Procedure

To ensure a smooth recovery and the best possible outcome, it's essential to properly prepare for your arm lift surgery. Here’s how to prepare:

Quit Smoking

Smoking significantly impairs the body’s ability to heal and increases the risk of complications. To optimize your recovery and reduce the risk of infection, we strongly recommend quitting smoking at least 4-6 weeks before your surgery, and refraining from smoking during your recovery period.

Discontinue Contraceptive Pills

For your safety, all contraceptive pills must be stopped at least one month prior to surgery. This is necessary to reduce the risk of blood clots and to support optimal circulation during your procedure.

Limit Alcohol Consumption

Alcohol can interfere with anesthesia, increase swelling, and slow down the healing process. To ensure a smoother surgery and recovery, please limit alcohol intake at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure and refrain from drinking during your recovery period.

Stop Blood Thinners, Supplements, and Herbal Teas

Blood-thinning medications, certain supplements, and herbal teas can increase the risk of bleeding during surgery. Please stop taking these at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure. Always consult with your surgeon about any medications or supplements you're currently taking to ensure a safe and effective surgery.

Payment Details

Payments for your procedure should be made in cash. Bank transfers should be done 7 days prior to arrival and if you prefer to pay by credit card, a processing fee will be added to the total amount, and the payment must be processed before your arrival in the country.

Visa Arrangements

Dietary Recommendations

A well-balanced, nutritious diet is key to supporting your body’s healing process. Eat nutrient-rich foods in the weeks leading up to your surgery to help strengthen your immune system and prepare your body for the procedure.

Prepare for Post-Surgery Recovery

It’s important to prepare a comfortable, quiet space for recovery at home. Take time off from work and avoid any strenuous activities to ensure your body can focus on healing. Having a cozy space to rest will help support a quicker and more comfortable recovery.

Quit Smoking

Smoking can slow healing and increase the risk of complications. It’s advised to stop smoking at least 4-6 weeks before surgery and during recovery.

Discontinue Medications

Some medications, especially blood thinners, should be stopped before surgery. Discuss all medications and supplements with your dentist.

Limit Alcohol Consumption

Alcohol can interfere with anesthesia and recovery. Avoid drinking for at least 1-2 weeks before the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is an arm lift (brachioplasty) and how does it work?

An arm lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms to improve their appearance. It is ideal for those with sagging skin due to aging, weight loss, or genetics. The procedure involves making incisions, removing the excess tissue, and tightening the skin for a smoother, firmer look.

2. Who is a good candidate for an arm lift?

Good candidates for an arm lift are individuals who have excess skin and fat on their upper arms, often due to aging, weight loss, or genetics. Ideal candidates are generally in good health and have realistic expectations for the procedure. It’s not intended as a weight loss solution, but as a way to improve the appearance of the arms.

3. What is the recovery time after an arm lift?

Recovery time varies, but most patients can return to light activities after 1-2 weeks. Full recovery typically takes about 4-6 weeks. You will experience some swelling and bruising, which will subside over time. Your surgeon will provide specific aftercare instructions to ensure optimal recovery.

4. Are the results of an arm lift permanent?

Yes, the results of an arm lift are generally permanent, as long as you maintain a stable weight. However, significant weight fluctuations or aging may impact the appearance of your arms over time. To maintain your results, a healthy lifestyle is important.

5. Is an arm lift painful?

An arm lift is typically performed under general anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. After surgery, you may experience discomfort, swelling, and bruising, but pain can usually be managed with prescribed medications. Most patients report minimal pain after the initial recovery period.

6. How long will it take to see the final results of my arm lift?

While initial swelling will subside within a few weeks, it may take up to 6 months for the final results of your arm lift to fully develop. Your arms will continue to improve in appearance as they heal, revealing firmer, more toned contours over time.

7. What is the difference between a facelift and a mini facelift?

A full facelift targets both the lower face and neck, lifting more tissue for a more dramatic result, while a mini facelift focuses on the lower face and is less invasive with shorter recovery time.
