Who is brachioplasty for?
Brachioplasty is the ideal solution for people who:
Have excess skin and sagging upper arms (the “bat wings” effect)
Are not satisfied with how their arms look despite exercise and a healthy diet
Have reduced skin elasticity due to ageing or weight loss
Want more defined and proportionate upper arms
What does the procedure look like?
Brachioplasty is performed under general anaesthesia and takes between 1.5 and 3 hours.
The procedure includes:
Precise incisions made on the inner side of the upper arm or along the armpit so that the scars are discreet.
Removal of excess skin and, if needed, liposuction for better contouring of the arms.
Tightening and reshaping of the tissue to achieve a natural, harmonious look.
Recovery and results
Swelling and mild discomfort are present in the first weeks after surgery.
Wearing compression sleeves is recommended to support recovery and reduce swelling.
A return to light activities is possible after 10–14 days, while strenuous physical activity should be avoided for several weeks.
The final results become visible after 2–3 months and are long-lasting with a healthy lifestyle.
Our expert team at Menssana Hospital uses the latest techniques to ensure natural, aesthetically pleasing results with minimal scarring. We approach every patient individually, guaranteeing safety, precision and a quick recovery.
