Brachioplasty, also known as arm lift, is a surgical procedure that has gained popularity in Bogota. This surgery, performed by the renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Guevara, certified by the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery (SCCP), seeks to improve the appearance of the arms by removing excess skin and fat, thus restoring their firmness and contour.
What does brachioplasty consist of?
During brachioplasty, Dr. Guevara makes an incision on the inner arm, from the armpit to the elbow. Through this incision, excess skin and fat are removed, and the tissues are tightened to achieve a more toned appearance. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours.
Am I a good candidate for brachioplasty?
Brachioplasty is ideal for people who have flaccidity in the arms due to weight loss, aging or genetic factors. It is important to have realistic expectations and be in good general health to undergo this procedure. Dr. Guevara will evaluate your case individually to determine if you are a suitable candidate.
Recovery and results
After brachioplasty, it is normal to experience swelling and bruising, which will gradually decrease over the following weeks. Dr. Guevara will provide you with detailed postoperative care instructions to ensure optimal recovery. The results of brachioplasty are long-lasting, as long as you maintain a stable weight and follow a healthy lifestyle.
