Definition of the procedure

What is brachioplasty or arm lift surgery?

Brachioplasty, also known as an arm lift, is a body contouring surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the inner side of the arms, from the armpit to the elbow. Its goal is to reduce sagging, improve firmness, and better define the arm contour, especially in patients who have experienced significant weight loss or age-related changes.

In Dr. Aroca’s hands, brachioplasty is planned on a personalized basis, selecting the type and length of the scar, the need for complementary liposuction, and the final arm design to achieve a harmonious, functional, and aesthetic result.

Benefits of Brachioplasty

Firmer, More Sculpted Arms

The surgery removes excess skin and reshapes the fat tissue, resulting in more defined arms with improved visual tone and a more sculpted contour.

Reduction of Sagging and “Bat Wings”

Brachioplasty addresses significant sagging on the inner arm, correcting the appearance of loose skin that often cannot be improved through exercise or diet.

Better Fit and Comfort When Dressing

By reducing volume and sagging, clothes fit better, there is less friction on the inner arms, and many patients feel more comfortable wearing sleeveless tops or dresses.

Increased Confidence and Body Image Security

By harmonizing the shape of the arms with the rest of the body, it enhances the perception of a more balanced and well-proportioned figure, positively impacting self-esteem.

Frequently Asked Questions About Brachioplasty

We address the most common questions from our patients to help you make an informed and safe decision.

The surgery is performed under anesthesia, and postoperative pain is usually manageable with prescribed medication. Discomfort is mainly felt as tension and limited arm movement initially, but it becomes more tolerable as recovery progresses and you follow the team’s recommendations.

Yes, as with any surgery that removes skin, brachioplasty leaves a scar. The scar is usually located on the inner or slightly posterior side of the arm, and its length depends on the degree of sagging. It is planned to be as discreet as possible when the arm is at rest, and over time, it tends to become less noticeable. Proper scar care is essential.

Yes. The goal is to achieve firmer, well-proportioned arms while avoiding overcorrections or unnatural shapes. Attention is given to the arm’s thickness, the transition to the armpit and shoulder, and its harmony with the rest of the body contour.

In some cases, it can be combined with liposuction of the back, lateral chest, or other body contouring procedures, provided your health, weight, and surgical time allow. Dr. Aroca evaluates each case to determine which combinations are safe and appropriate.

Recovery varies for each patient, but generally, light daily activities can be resumed within 2 to 3 weeks, with initial restrictions on lifting and wide arm movements. The final result is usually consolidated between 3 and 6 months, as swelling subsides and the scar matures.

The results are long-lasting as long as you maintain a stable weight and healthy habits. Natural aging may affect skin quality over time, but the severe sagging addressed during surgery generally does not return if weight and lifestyle factors are managed.

It is recommended when there is moderate to severe sagging on the inner part of the arms, excess skin after weight loss or age-related changes, and when the patient is at a relatively stable weight but the arms do not improve with exercise or diet.

Undergo an evaluation with a plastic surgeon, complete the required tests, disclose medical history and medications, adjust habits such as smoking and weight control, and arrange at-home support for the first days of the postoperative period. Closely following all preoperative instructions is essential.

It includes the use of compression sleeves, temporary limitations on lifting the arms above the head, massages and lymphatic drainage as indicated, and follow-up appointments. Dr. Aroca’s team guides you through each stage to adjust recommendations according to your recovery progress.

They include bruising, swelling, seromas, changes in sensation, healing problems, or scars that are more visible than expected. Proper patient selection, careful surgical technique, and strict adherence to postoperative care help reduce these risks.
