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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
