Brachioplasty in Merida

What is Brachioplasty and What Does It Involve?

Brachioplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at addressing issues in the upper arms, such as sagging and fat accumulation. This process aims to:

1. Reduce fat deposits: It removes excess adipose tissue in the upper arms.
2. Remove excess skin: It corrects loose skin that may hang like a «batwing» when raising the arms.
3. Tighten supporting tissue: It enhances firmness around the treated area.
4. Smooth the remaining skin: It leaves the skin looking smoother and rejuvenated.

Who Is This Procedure For?

Brachioplasty is suitable for those experiencing sagging or fat accumulation in the upper arms. This condition may result from:

1. Changes in skin elasticity due to aging.
2. Significant weight loss, either through obesity surgery or a healthy lifestyle.
3. Genetic factors predisposing to loose skin.
4. Lymphedema.

Is an Arm Lift Right for Me?

You may consider brachioplasty if:

1. You have loose skin on the upper arms.
2. You are willing to accept an arm lift scar, typically located along the upper arm.
3. You maintain stable weight, avoiding significant long-term changes.
4. You do not have medical conditions that increase the risk of surgical complications.
5. You do not smoke, as smoking can interfere with proper healing.

What Happens During Brachioplasty?

If you are deemed a candidate for brachioplasty, the procedure will follow these steps:

1. Anesthesia: You will be administered medications to keep you comfortable during surgery. This may include general anesthesia for sleep and numbness or local anesthesia to numb the surgical area and relax you.
2. Incision: The surgeon will make an incision on the inner or back part of the arm, the size of which will depend on the extent of the procedure.
3. Removal of excess skin and fat: Excess skin will be removed, and in some cases, liposuction may also be performed to eliminate additional fat.
4. Tightening of tissue: Supporting tissue will be sutured to improve firmness.
5. Incision closure: The incision will be closed with sutures, and a sterilized bandage will be applied to reduce the risk of infection.
