Over time, due to weight fluctuations or simply genetic factors, it’s common for sagging skin to appear on the inner arms. This condition ​​can cause aesthetic discomfort and affect the self-esteem of many people. Fortunately, plastic surgery offers an effective and lasting solution: brachioplasty, or arm lift.

What is brachioplasty surgery like?

Brachioplasty is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the arms, resulting in a firmer, more sculpted, and rejuvenated contour. It is especially recommended for patients who, despite leading an active lifestyle and maintaining a balanced diet, are unable to improve sagging in this area through exercise alone.

During the surgery, Dr. Patricia Martínez, a specialized plastic surgeon, adapts the technique to each patient’s needs. In mild cases, a small incision combined with liposuction may be sufficient. In situations with more excess skin, a larger incision is made on the inner arm, always aiming for the scar to be as discreet as possible. The goal is to achieve a natural and harmonious result that blends with the rest of the body.

The results of an arm lift are visible from the outset, although the final result is seen after full recovery. Patients experience a noticeable improvement in the shape and firmness of their arms, allowing them to wear sleeveless garments with greater confidence and comfort.

Recovery after brachioplasty is usually gradual. It’s normal to experience swelling or mild discomfort during the first few days, which can be managed with medication. Wearing a compression garment and following medical instructions are key to proper healing and optimal results.

If you’re wondering whether sagging arms can be corrected, the answer is yes. Brachioplasty is a safe and effective treatment when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon. At Dr. Patricia Martínez’s practice, each case is evaluated individually to offer the best surgical option and support the patient throughout the entire process, from the initial consultation to postoperative follow-up. Achieving firm arms is possible and can significantly improve your well-being and confidence.
