An arm lift (brachioplasty) removes excess skin and fat from the inner arm and tightens the tissue underneath, leaving a scar along the arm. It’s the right choice when liposuction alone isn’t enough because the skin has lost elasticity, which is common after major weight loss. If you only have fat and little laxity, see arm lipo. It’s part of Dra. Sofía Rincón’s body lift procedures.

What our patients say
"Dra., I wanted to tell you that two months after my surgery I’m so happy with how I look and, above all, how I feel. Once again people told me how beautiful my dress looked and that my body looked super natural. That made me so happy, because it’s exactly what I wanted: to look like me, but a better version of my body, without it looking exaggerated or artificial. I’m so grateful for you and all your work; every time I look in the mirror I know I made the right decision putting myself in your hands." (Translated from Spanish)
"Good morning, doctor. I just wanted to thank you a thousand times for the surgery that changed my life; your hands truly are magical and I’m so happy with my results. Here’s a photo in my dress from my stepdaughter’s quinceañera. Thanks to you the dress looked beautiful on me, and I got so many compliments on how good I looked. Thank you again for everything you did for me." (Translated from Spanish)
"The best experience I could have had. From the first time I met Dra. Sofía I felt confident; she looked after my health carefully until I was 100% ready for surgery. It's now been almost a month since my surgery (breast lift, lipo, BBL and tummy tuck), I love my body, recovery has gone very well, and she always answers and stays on top of everything. My results are exactly what I asked for!"
"I don't have words to express my gratitude for the exceptional care from Dra. Sofía Rincón. I came to her for a tummy tuck revision after complications and adhesions from a previous surgery elsewhere. She fixed everything perfectly and gave me my quality of life back. Her motto, 'Your body is reborn in expert hands,' couldn't be more true."
"My experience with Dra. Sofía Rincón was incredible. From my first consultation she was extremely thorough and knew exactly what I wanted. On the day of my surgery the care was exceptional, and she recommended the best recovery center. Today, 5 weeks later, I'm very happy with the results and her ongoing follow-up."
"Super professional, she explained my procedure in detail before applying the Botox, and all the aftercare. She gave me a lot of confidence and the result was very subtle and natural."
"I had chin liposuction with Facetite and buccal fat removal with Dra. Sofía Rincón. I was thrilled with the results and the care. She's always very professional and takes care of every detail of your face."
"Absolutely incredible work and spectacular results! I lost 30 kilos and Dra. Sofía helped me enormously with reconstructive surgeries that let me get my figure back. I'm thrilled! She's a kind, attentive surgeon with great attention to detail."

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about arm lift cost, scars, recovery, and risks in Tijuana.
An arm lift, also called brachioplasty, removes excess skin and fat from the inner arm and tightens the tissue underneath. Good candidates have hanging skin (“bat wings”) after significant weight loss, aging, or laxity, along with a stable weight and good overall health. If the main concern is fat and your skin still has elasticity, arm lipo may be enough. Dra. Sofía will confirm which one fits at your consultation.
Arm lift cost depends on whether one or both arms are treated, whether it is a standard or extended arm lift, and whether it is combined with another surgery such as a torsoplasty or liposuction, plus operating room fees at an accredited hospital and a board-certified anesthesiologist. After your consultation you receive a formal written quote with no hidden fees, so we don’t quote a single price without evaluating your case.
Arm lipo removes fat and leaves small scars, but it doesn’t remove skin. An arm lift removes excess skin and fat and leaves a longer scar along the arm. Which one you need depends on how much loose skin you have and its elasticity; sometimes they are combined.
An extended arm lift (extended brachioplasty) carries the correction from the arm toward the side of the chest to treat loose skin in that area as well. It is used when the excess skin isn’t limited to the arm, and it is often combined with a torsoplasty as part of a body lift.
Swelling, bruising, and soreness are normal during the first weeks. You’ll wear a compression sleeve or garment for as long as Dra. Sofía indicates and avoid strenuous arm activity at first, and some patients have a temporary drain. The final result becomes visible as swelling goes down over several months. Your consultation includes a recovery timeline for your case.
