Step 1: Virtual Photographic Assessment

Submit clear photos of your upper arms from various angles through PlacidWay. Our partner plastic surgeons in Tulum will review your skin laxity and fat distribution to determine the optimal incision layout and customized plan.

Step 2: Pre-Surgical In-Person Consultation

Arrive in Tulum and meet your surgeon face-to-face. They will perform a physical exam, conduct required pre-op lab work, and carefully map out the surgical markings on your arms to ensure balance and precision.

Step 3: The Brachioplasty Procedure

Performed under general anesthesia or deep IV sedation inside a sterile, state-of-the-art operating suite. The surgeon removes excess hanging tissue, performs any scheduled liposuction, and completes the closure using fine, dissolvable cosmetic sutures.

Step 4: Serene Seaside Recovery & Lymphatic Drainage

Relax in your Tulum retreat wearing your custom-fitted compression arm sleeves. Within 3 to 4 days, you will begin gentle, specialized lymphatic drainage massages to reduce localized swelling, encourage blood flow, and speed up the healing process.

Step 5: Follow-Up & Safe Return Home

At around day 8 to 10, visit the clinic for your final physical checkup and suture evaluation. Once cleared by your plastic surgeon, you can travel home to resume light daily activities and enjoy your newly sculpted arms.

"After losing over 80 pounds, the loose skin hanging from my arms was a constant reminder of my past weight. I chose to travel to Tulum for my brachioplasty, and the care was phenomenal. My surgeon was incredibly thorough, the scars are hidden beautifully, and spending my initial recovery days in a peaceful jungle cottage made the healing process feel incredibly peaceful."

"I had avoided sleeveless shirts for nearly a decade due to heavy, sagging upper arms. The team in Tulum combined an arm lift with targeted liposuction, and the results are stunning. My arms look slim and toned. The bilingual nurses, the clean private surgical clinic, and the attentive post-op care completely exceeded my expectations."
