Brachioplasty-Arm Lift completed! Dr. Juan Pablo Cervantes



Recommended Posts

I had this surgery done this last July in the US. I had not worn shirts to show my arms in 20+ years and now I show my arms as much as possible. I had no pain at all. I took one pain pill and only took it because I was afraid not to. I did not have drain tubes either. Easy, easy recovery. I was back to my weight/cardio exercise class in 2 weeks. Best decision I ever made.

Any pictures to share? If I can afford it, this would be my surgery after reaching goal. Have not shown above my elbow in over 30 yrs. Glad you said there was no pain and recovery was easy.

Not sure if you're looking to go out of the country but what I did was first went to a Plastic surgeon in my city for a $40.00 consultation and quote to see if I needed to lose more weight first and if I was a good candidate for the surgery. They printed out the quote (OUCH!) and instructions on what to expect. This made me feel more comfortable about doing the surgery and then we have a FB group that the patients have started online that have had surgery with Dr. Cervantes.< /p>

Wow! You look so much healthier and happier! You and your arms look awesome!

<p>I did it! had my surgery on 9/1/14 in Mexico with Dr. Juan Pablo Cervantes in Tijuana. So far everything has been amazing. No real pain at all. I had it much worse plated out in my head. I stayed from Sunday (night before) and left Friday morning. Drains were removed Thursday and stitches will dissolve anywhere from 120/150 days. I'm to take weekly pics to send to him to review and he is available to me anytime I have a question or concern. Amazing difference!</p> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <p> </p>

Thank you for all the info and you look amazing. I also need my arms done. Can you tell me if that $3200 was just the surgeon or did it also include the hospital stay, etc. thanks again!

If you eat for emotional or other reasons, this book may help you. It helped me.

Wow what a transformation....you look great! So happy for you. Do you have other surgeries planned? I did my arms, face/neck and breasts/implants first, then 4 months ago I did the lower body lift and the thigh lift...It's a journey to say the least!!!

Congratulations! I had multiple procedures done at once but the arms were life changing. I love my toned looking arms. My scars are barely visible and well hidden, well placed.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
