Arm Lift Benefits

The benefits of an arm lift in Edinburg and the McAllen area procedure include:

Improved Arm Contour: An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, can significantly improve the contour of your arms by removing excess skin and fat. This results in smoother, more toned arms, which can boost your self-confidence.
Enhanced Arm Appearance: Sagging or flabby arms can be a source of self-consciousness for many individuals. An arm lift can help you achieve a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing arm appearance, making you feel more comfortable wearing sleeveless clothing.
Increased Mobility: Excess skin and fat on the arms can restrict movement and make certain activities uncomfortable. After an arm lift, you may experience increased mobility and comfort in daily tasks and exercises.
Reduction of Skin Irritation: Loose skin on the arms can lead to skin irritation and discomfort. By removing this excess skin, an arm lift can alleviate these issues and improve overall skin health.
Boosted Confidence: Many individuals report a significant boost in self-confidence and body image after undergoing an arm lift. Feeling better about the appearance of your arms can positively impact your overall self-esteem and quality of life.
Long-Lasting Results: The results of an arm lift are typically long-lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight and follow a healthy lifestyle. This means you can enjoy the benefits of a more toned arm contour for years.

The Arm Lift Procedure

The arm lift procedure, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical solution to address excess skin and fat on the upper arms. Here's an overview of what to expect during the arm lift procedure:

1. Anesthesia

The arm lift procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure comfort and safety throughout the surgery. Dr. Rios and his anesthesia team will monitor your vital signs and administer anesthesia to keep you pain-free during the procedure.

2. Incisions

Dr. Rios will make carefully planned incisions on the inside or back of your upper arms. The length and pattern of these incisions will depend on the extent of correction needed. In some cases, shorter incisions may be used for less extensive modification.

3. Removal of Excess Tissue

After making the incisions, Dr. Rios will remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms. This step is crucial for achieving a smoother arm appearance. If needed, liposuction may be used to refine the arm's shape further.

4. Skin Tightening

Once the excess tissue is removed, Dr. Rios will carefully tighten and reposition the remaining skin to create a more toned and youthful arm contour.

5. Incision Closure

After the desired improvements are made, Dr. Rios will close the incisions with sutures and apply dressings to protect the surgical site.

Recovery + Results: Meeting Your New Arms

After the arm lift procedure, you will be monitored as you wake up from anesthesia. You may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the initial days following surgery. Dr. Rios will provide post-operative instructions, including the use of compression garments and recommendations for activity restrictions during the initial recovery period. Over the following weeks and months, you'll notice a significant improvement in the appearance of your arms as swelling subsides and the final results emerge. Patients typically enjoy a more toned and youthful arm contour, which can boost confidence and self-esteem.
