ABOUT THE SERVICE
Tensioning of skin of the upper arm or brachioplasty resolves the problem of sagging skin, which appears as a result of natural ageing or after a considerable weight loss, for example, after bariatric surgeries.
Before the surgery
Blood tests are necessary.
Process of the surgery
Excess skin and fats are removed from upper arms. The surgery lasts about 1-2 hours and the surgery is performed under local or general anaesthesia.
Post-operative period
You should wear a compression garment for 2 to 3 weeks. You can start active physical activity in 2-4 weeks. Oedema and bruising disappear within a month.
Result
The result is long-term, but can be influenced by drastic changes in body weight and natural ageing.

Unlike small private plastic surgery clinics, Jurmala Hospital is a safe place for any surgical manipulations – the hospital does not only provide a modern surgery unit and a team of experienced surgeons and anaesthesiologists, but also complete resuscitation and intensive care possibilities, which is an important advantage for your safety during any surgeries!
