Post-Bariatric Surgery
Brachioplasty in Madrid
Post-Bariatric Surgery
Over time, the skin on the arms loses firmness, fat tissue accumulates, and the skin begins to sag. This may be caused by natural aging, weight loss, or simply genetic factors.
The brachioplasty, also known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure designed to redefine the shape of the arms by removing excess skin and fat to achieve a firmer, more harmonious, and aesthetic contour.
At Clínica 3 de Mayo, Dr. Jesús Lago, a specialist in cosmetic surgery and post-bariatric surgery, uses advanced techniques to achieve natural-looking results, with discreet scars and a faster recovery.
Brachioplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the upper arm from the armpit to the elbow.
During the surgery, excess skin and fat causing sagging — often referred to as “bat wings” — are removed. Depending on the case, it may be combined with liposuction to achieve a more defined and harmonious result.
The goal is to restore the natural tension of the tissues, improve body proportions, and help patients regain confidence when wearing sleeveless or fitted clothing.
This treatment is recommended for patients who:

His goal is not only to tighten the skin, but also to reshape the arm in a harmonious and natural way in balance with the rest of the body.

Results are noticeable from the first few weeks, although the final outcome can be fully appreciated after 2 to 3 months, once the swelling subsides and the skin adapts to its new shape.
The result is a firmer, smoother, and more natural-looking arm
