According to Dr. Illich Navarro the founder of Mommy Makeover Tijuana, an arm and thigh lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty and thighplasty, respectively, aims to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms and thighs. The surgical procedure involves making incisions, removing excess tissue, tightening underlying tissues, and redraping the remaining skin.
Arm lift also known as brachioplasty is a cosmetic procedure that removes excessive fat and skin over the underarm and elbow. It helps in toning your arms and provides an appealing contour to them. Advancing age, weight fluctuations and genetic factors result in sagging and drooping of the upper arms that can hamper your appearance.
A thigh lift is a cosmetic surgery performed to tighten sagging thigh muscles and remove excess skin from the thighs to restore a more youthful and pleasing body contour. Thigh lift is particularly beneficial for individuals with large amounts of loose hanging skin on the thighs. This usually occurs due to lack of skin elasticity related to aging or a major weight loss.
Quit Smoking. Patients who smoke will need to quit smoking at least three weeks before their mommy makeover procedure and three weeks after.
Change your diet. A healthy diet is important for everyone, but it becomes more vital when you’re getting ready for liposuction.
It is important to change your diet to include foods rich in antioxidants, collagen, healthy oils, and water and improve your skin’s elasticity and moisture.
Reducing your intake of processed foods, sugars, and refined carbohydrates can help reduce inflammation and improve your overall health.
Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.
Stop taking blood-thinning medications such as aspirin, Motrin, and Advil.

Try to reduce your intake of alcohol and avoid binge drinking alcohol for two weeks before your surgery.
