When is arm lift surgery recommended?

If you're considering anarm lift or arm liposuction, you should know that this procedure is recommended for patients who havelost a significant amount of weight—for example, those who have undergonebariatric surgery.It's also recommended for those who haven't been able to tone the area throughexercise.

Some people, due to their body type or genetic predisposition, tend to haveexcess skin on their arms. Aging and a lack of collagen can affect skin elasticity. In all these cases,brachioplastyis an effective and permanent solution.

Arm Lift Surgery Procedure in Barcelona

The procedure for thiscosmetic body surgeryis determined by the technique used and the pre- and post-operative care required. Our team of surgeons advises patients throughout the process to ensure they understand the details of their upcoming surgery and know how to prepare.

The techniquesused in arm lifts to correct sagging skinand achieve toned arms in both men and women are determined by the plastic surgeon after assessing the amount of tissue to be removed. The patient may require a combination of techniques, such as fat removal, arm liposculpture, and skin tightening.

Inaxillary brachioplasty, the incisions are small and, in most cases, become barely noticeable over time. When they are located at the level of the armpit, they are not visible. Therefore, once the patient has fully recovered, they will be able to wear whatever clothes they choose with complete confidence.

Since this is a procedure performed on the upper extremities, it is carried out under sedation andlocal anesthesia, so the patient will be awake but calm and pain-free. The benefit of this is thatrecovery is much faster and more comfortablefor the patient.

Theprocedure usuallytakes one or two hours at most. However, there is no exact timeframe; it varies from patient to patient.

When a person has loose skin and undergoes an arm lift, it is normal to experience swelling and bruising in the treated area. The final results of the procedure may take several weeks or even months to become apparent, as the swelling must subside and the tissues settle.
