WHAT DOES IT INVOLVE?
Firmness restored,
without excess skin.
With age, the lower arm becomes flaccid. Patients seek this technique to remove the excess skin and fat that hangs and does not respond to exercise.
It is recommended for patients with excess skin and laxity after considerable weight loss or from a lack of tone. The surgery can restore the freedom to wear sleeveless clothing and a more youthful look.
When the problem is mainly fat and the skin has good elasticity, arm liposuction may be enough. If skin is excess, an arm lift is what truly resolves the contour.

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) is a body plastic surgery procedure performed by Santelly in Tijuana, Mexico, for patients from Mexico and California. We remove excess skin and fat from the lower arm to restore a firm, youthful line.
Is it the same as arm liposuction?
No. Liposuction removes fat and suits skin with good elasticity. An arm lift removes excess skin and is the option when marked laxity exists.
What is the scar like?
It is a planned scar on the inner arm, concealable with short sleeves. It is cared for with lymphatic drainage and products indicated by nursing.
When can I return to the gym?
Light cardiovascular activity resumes gradually. Arm training is generally authorised after the sixth week.
