## What does it involve?

Arm liposuction is one of the procedures with the highest level of patient satisfaction. It is almost exclusively a procedure for women, since consistent exercise does not reduce the volume of localised fat in this area.

Most women do not want arms that look muscular or masculine. A bulky arm can give the appearance of obesity, while a thin, feminine arm helps project a slimmer body.

The goals are to improve the disproportionate appearance of the arm while maintaining feminine beauty, and to help patients feel comfortable and confident wearing sleeveless clothing.

Santelly · Conservative removal to preserve the arm's natural line

## What it corrects

- Localised fat that does not respond to exercise
- Arms with disproportionate volume
- Looking heavier because of arm size
- Discomfort wearing sleeveless clothing
- Poorly defined arm contour

## Is it for you?

- **Fat, not skin**: Your arm has fat volume and the skin retains good elasticity.
- **Non-smoker**: You do not smoke and your pre-operative work-up is complete.
- **Stable weight**: You maintain a stable weight and do not plan further weight loss.

Private assessment required · With excess skin, brachioplasty is recommended

## Process

01. **Consultation & design** — Assessment with Santelly. Clinical photos, measurements, surgical markings and a personalised plan. Fixed quote, no surprises.
02. **Surgery in a certified hospital** — Private transport and surgery in a certified operating room with an anaesthesiologist. That same afternoon, a premium suite ready for your arrival.
03. **Assisted recovery** — 24/7 nursing in your suite, lymphatic drainage, wound care and daily follow-up. Safe discharge with logistics back to California.

## Your experience includes

- **Private transport**: Private transfer and safe border crossing
- **FastLane Medical Pass**: Expedited medical crossing Tijuana — San Diego
- **Premium suite**: Recovery suite, nights included

- **Medical follow-up**: Assessment, surgery and check-ups

## Recovery

- **DAY 1—2 — Assisted rest in suite**: Early mobilisation with nursing. Drain management. Light diet. No straining.
- **DAY 3—7 — Gentle activation**: Short walks, daily lymphatic drainage and drain removal as indicated.
- **WEEK 2 — Return to California**: Cleared to travel. Light activity allowed. Continuous garment use.
- **MONTH 1—3 — Progressive result**: Residual swelling settles and the contour becomes defined. The scar matures gradually.

> Relatively simple aftercare: moderate rest for a few days. Virtually every patient notices significant improvement within the first days.

## FAQ

### When will I notice the improvement?

Most patients perceive significant improvement within the first days after surgery, with the result refining as swelling settles.

### Will the scars show?

Very small incisions are used in discreet areas, and they become practically imperceptible over time.

### Does it work if I have lax skin?

When excess skin exists, liposuction alone may not be enough; in those cases a brachioplasty should be considered.
