Is there a required BMI for an arm lift? (photo)

Thank you for your question.A medical clearance is necessary if you have other health problems. I do not require a specific BMI for patients to be a candidate for arm surgery. If your arms do not change with weight loss or gain then I would suggest an in person consultation to see what your best options are.

You just acknowledge that BMI above 30 are related to higher risk of complications, and If I already know you have a high risk to end up complicated, then, in my opinión you should not get any surgery until your BMI is below 30. Safety must be priority for all of us and specially you. You will be a great candidate for Arm Lift and lateral Torsoplasty in order to tighten the skin on your lateral torso which will not improve just with Lipo or losing weight.Be encouraged!!Dr. Cárdenas
