What is an arm lift?
An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the contour and firmness of the upper arms. Its main goal is to remove excess sagging skin and persistent fat deposits, reshaping the area between the shoulder and elbow to restore tone and definition. As a result, many patients experience greater comfort during movement and a better fit in clothing.
This procedure is especially popular after significant weight loss or when skin elasticity has diminished due to aging or genetic factors. Depending on the degree of skin laxity, Dr. Valdés may recommend a traditional brachioplasty (which involves a linear incision) or a mini brachioplasty, which results in smaller scars and is indicated for milder cases. In many cases, liposuction is combined with skin removal to achieve a more precise and refined contour.

Meet Dr. Everardo Valdés
Certified by CMCPER and trained in the best hospitals in Mexico, USA. In the United States and Europe, Dr. Valdés is one of the most respected plastic surgeons in Monterrey. He is also a professor at UANL, where he trains the next generation of plastic surgeons.
He himself has experienced a transformation: from being obese as a child to becoming a national athlete. That journey shaped the way he connects with patients. He understands what it's like to want a change and how surgery is only one part of that journey.
Why consider an arm lift?
For many patients, the goal isn't perfection, but freedom: to move, put on what they want, and feel lighter in their own body. Here's what a well-performed arm stretch can achieve:
Softer, more contoured upper arms
By removing excess loose skin, a more refined and sculpted arm shape is restored, improving both the appearance and feel of the upper arms. The result is often a more athletic and proportionate silhouette.
Balanced results with natural softness
When skin removal is combined with strategic liposuction, Dr. Valdés improves definition and, at the same time, maintains the natural softness of the arm, avoiding an overly tense or artificial appearance.
Better fit in clothing and social comfort
After surgery, patients usually experience a better fit of clothing and no longer feel the need to hide their arms. This contributes to a greater sense of self-esteem in both informal and professional environments.
Meet these real patients stories
Are you ready for a transformation you can trust?
You deserve more than just a great result.

Is this procedure only for people who have lost a lot of weight?
Not at all. While many patients after losing weight benefit from brachioplasty, it is also common in people with age-related skin sagging or with persistent fat that distorts the shape of the arm.
How long do the results last?
The results are long-lasting, especially with a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. As long as aging continues, the skin will never return to the level of laxity it had before surgery.
Is the surgery painful?
Most patients report mild to moderate pain, especially in the first few days. Pain is well controlled with oral medications, and discomfort usually decreases significantly after the first week.
Can I combine it with other procedures?
Yes Arm lift surgery is usually part of a
How soon can I raise my arms or start exercising again?
Smooth arm movement begins early in recovery, but full extension and weight lifting are restricted 4 to 6 weeks. Dr. Valdés offers a personalized plan based on your surgery and your progress.
