At our clinic in Malaga, we treat each case with precision and empathy, achieving natural and proportionate results. Regain your confidence and feel free to move without inhibitions.
What is brachioplasty or arm surgery?
An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat accumulated on the inner arms, achieving a firmer, more defined and proportionate silhouette. It is a procedure particularly recommended for people who have experienced significant weight loss or who, over time, notice sagging in this area.
At Dr. Francisco Giraldo’s clinic, we perform this procedure safely, using advanced techniques and fully personalised planning. We study each case to adapt to the patient’s anatomy, always seeking harmonious results and minimal scarring.
Brachioplasty is a common procedure at our clinic in Malaga, leaving our patients highly satisfied. Our patients not only regain firmness in their arms, they also gain confidence, comfort and freedom to dress as they wish, without complexes.

Stages of an arm lift
1.
Initial personalised consultation
The initial consultation is key to analysing the degree of sagging and determining the most appropriate technique for you. Dr. Giraldo will evaluate your skin, accumulated fat, and proportions, clearly explaining the surgical options and addressing any concerns you may have.
2.
Preoperative preparation
Before the procedure, we will carry out medical tests (such as blood tests or an ECG) and give you clear instructions on diet, medication and habits to avoid. Everything is designed to ensure that you arrive at the operating theatre safely and without any surprises.
3.
Surgical procedure
The operation lasts between 1 and 2 hours, under general anaesthesia. Excess skin and accumulated fat are removed, and the arm is reshaped to achieve a firmer, more defined and natural silhouette, with minimal and well-placed scars.
4.
Post-operative care and treatment
After spending a few hours at the clinic, you will return home with a compression garment to aid your recovery. We will be by your side at all times with check-ups and follow-ups to ensure you feel safe.
5.
Visible results
You will notice a feeling of lightness and harmony in your hands and arms; many patients report feeling more confident, more comfortable in their bodies, and with a renewed attitude after the operation.

Frequently asked questions about breast reduction
Where are the scars and are they very noticeable?
Many patients want to know where the scar will be located and whether it will be visible; other clinics emphasise that it is usually done on the inner side of the arm so that it is discreet.
Is recovery from brachioplasty painful?
Some websites indicate that discomfort after the procedure is moderate and can be controlled with painkillers, so it is not usually considered a particularly painful surgery.
Can brachioplasty be combined with liposuction or other body contouring surgeries?
Several websites respond to this question by explaining that the procedure can be complemented with liposuction to improve the result.
Should I wear compression garments and for how long?
Other centres recommend wearing a compression sleeve or girdle for several weeks (around six) after surgery to help the skin adapt.
When can I resume my daily activities and exercise?
It is usually advisable to rest during the first few weeks and start returning to normal activities around the third or fourth week, avoiding heavy lifting or strenuous activity.
What are the most common risks or complications of brachioplasty?
Frequently asked questions lists often mention possible complications such as bleeding, infection, poor healing, seromas, or blood clots; these complications are rare but it is important to be aware of them.
