Arm Lift in Mexico
An Arm Lift, also known as Brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure to remove sagging skin that droops downward and resemble bat wings. The surgeon tightens the underlying supportive tissue that defines the shape of the upper arm. Typically the localized pockets of fat need liposuction prior to skin reduction.
Arm lift surgeries are ideal for those who have too much excess skin after losing massive weight. Many bariatric patients will combine arm lifts, body lifts, and body contouring.
The majority of patients looking for Arm Lift are individuals who have lost a lot of weight. Loss of weight can cause the upper arm skin to become loose and flabby. Weight loss surgery patients following bariatric surgery such as a gastric sleeve or gastric bypass are candidates for this procedure.
Is The Arm Lift Procedure For you?
Other patients seeking Arm Lift surgery have sagging skin from loss of elasticity caused by aging. The plastic surgeon may recommend upper-arm-lift for adults commonly over 40 with significant upper arm skin laxity.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), there is a rise in Arm Lift procedure due to people paying more attention to their arms, sleeveless fashions, and celebrities, including first lady Michelle Obama.

- Reduce excess or sagging skin on the arms.
