An arm lift in Lima tightens and reshapes the inner arms. It removes loose skin and refines the contour from the armpit to the elbow. Many people know it as brachioplasty.
In Lima, this procedure is popular after weight loss or when skin elasticity has decreased. If you want sleeker arms and a confident look in sleeveless tops, an arm lift in Lima can help.
What an arm lift does
An arm lift trims extra skin and can reduce stubborn fat. The goal is a firm, smooth line that matches your body. Results look natural when the plan is tailored to you.
✅ Reduces sagging
✅ Improves shape and proportion
✅ Boosts confidence in daily clothing
Who is a good candidate for an arm lift in Lima
1️⃣ People with moderate or severe laxity on the inner arms
2️⃣ Patients after weight loss who have extra skin
3️⃣ Healthy adults with realistic expectations
4️⃣ Non-smokers or those who will pause smoking before and after
5️⃣ Anyone with a stable weight for several months
If you have small fat pockets and good skin quality, arm lipo could be enough. If the skin will not retract, a Lima arm lift offers a more complete result.
Consultation and planning in Lima
During your consultation for an arm lift in Lima, the surgeon evaluates:
✅ Skin quality and elasticity
✅ Amount and distribution of fat
✅ Degree of tissue laxity
✅ Medical history, medications, and habits
With this, we select the best technique, design the incision pattern, and define whether to add arm liposuction for fine contouring. The plan is personal because each arm is different.
Arm lift techniques explained
1️⃣ Mini arm lift
For mild laxity. Short incisions hidden near the armpit. Quicker recovery and discreet scars. Good option for early loss of tone.
2️⃣ Standard arm lift
For moderate to severe laxity. The incision usually runs along the inner arm from the armpit toward the elbow. It removes more skin, tightens the tissues, and defines the contour.
3️⃣ Extended arm lift
For laxity that continues into the armpit and side of the chest. This approach improves the transition from the arm to the torso. It is common in post-weight-loss patients.
Combining liposuction with an arm lift in Lima is common. Lipo sculpts the fat layer. The lift removes loose skin. Together they deliver a refined finish.
Procedure day
Arrive fasting. Markings are done and the plan is reviewed once more. Your arm lift in Lima uses general anesthesia or sedation with local anesthesia depending on your case. The duration is about one to three hours. If another procedure is added, it may take longer.
At the end, sutures and a compression dressing are placed. Many patients go home the same day. Some stay overnight for comfort and observation. Your safety guides this choice.
Recovery timeline after an arm lift in Lima
✅ You can go home the same day in most cases
✅ Discomfort is managed with prescribed medication
✅ Lymphatic drainage may help reduce swelling
✅ Compression sleeves are used for 4 to 6 weeks
Typical milestones:
1️⃣ Desk work in 7 to 10 days
2️⃣ Light gym from week 3 or 4
3️⃣ Arm training and heavier loads between weeks 6 and 8
4️⃣ Scar maturation takes 6 to 12 months
Scar care matters for any Lima arm lift. We guide you with silicone gels, sun protection, massage, and follow-ups. Over time, most scars fade and soften.
Arm lift in Lima or arm liposuction
