Arm lift (brachioplasty) in Roger Domingos Medical Services Ltda.
About the clinic
An arm lift, or brachioplasty, at Roger Domingos Medical Services Ltda. in Rio de Janeiro helps remove excess skin from the upper arms. The clinic is located in the Ipanema neighborhood and holds JCI accreditation for meeting international safety standards. Patients choose this procedure to address "bat wing" sagging caused by aging or significant weight loss.
Brachioplasty Techniques
Dr. Roger Domingos selects a surgical method based on the amount of loose skin. These options allow for a personalized approach to body contouring:
- Mini brachioplasty uses a short incision hidden in the armpit.
- Standard medial brachioplasty involves an incision along the inner arm.
- Extended brachioplasty addresses larger areas of skin, often after massive weight loss.
Liposuction is frequently performed during the same surgery to refine the final shape of the arm. Dr. Roger Domingos is a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).
Recovery Timeline
Healing follows a structured schedule to help patients get back to their daily lives. During the first week, patients wear compression sleeves and must limit arm movement. Light activities can usually start between 7 and 14 days after the surgery. Most people return to their normal routine within 3 to 4 weeks.
Full upper-body exercise is typically safe after 6 to 8 weeks. While the new arm contour is visible within 4 to 6 months, scars take 12 to 18 months to mature fully. The clinic provides remote follow-up care for international patients traveling to Brazil for treatment.
Candidate Requirements
Ideal candidates for an arm lift have stable weight and good general health. The procedure is designed for those with sagging skin that does not improve with exercise. Dr. Roger Domingos offers video consultations to discuss goals and surgical plans before patients travel to the clinic.

Specialties and Surgical Procedures
The clinic specializes in body contouring, breast surgery, and facial aesthetics. Every surgical plan begins with a 60-minute consultation to evaluate anatomy and goals. Surgeons aim for natural-looking results that respect the aging process.
Body Contouring and Liposuction
The practice offers several abdominal procedures to address excess skin and muscle repair. Specialists perform lipoabdominoplasty, which combines flank liposuction with abdominal tightening. For patients seeking muscle definition, the clinic provides high-definition (HD) liposuction.
Liposuction techniques used at the clinic include:
- Tumescent liposuction for reduced bleeding
- Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) for fibrous areas
- Vibration-assisted liposuction (PAL) for increased precision
Other body procedures include arm lifts (brachioplasty) and thigh lifts. Surgeons also perform Mommy Makeover surgery, combining breast and abdominal procedures under one anesthesia.
Breast and Facial Surgery
Breast procedures include augmentation, reduction, and mastopexy (breast lift). Specialists use modern cohesive implants and offer fat grafting options. In some cases, surgeons combine mastopexy with liposuction to improve breast position.
Facial rejuvenation focuses on refinement and harmony. The clinic offers transconjunctival blepharoplasty for the eyes. This technique uses an incision on the inner eyelid to remove fat bags without visible scarring. Other facial services include rhinoplasty and deep plane facelifts.
Gynecomastia Treatment
The clinic treats adult men and selected adolescents for gynecomastia (enlarged male breasts). Surgeons use isolated liposuction for cases involving only fat. If glandular tissue is present, they perform surgical excision to flatten the chest contour.
Aesthetic Medicine and Cosmetology
Non-surgical treatments help maintain surgical results or prevent early aging. These are integrated into personalized skin quality plans. Available aesthetic options include:
- Botulinum toxin injections
- Hyaluronic acid fillers
- Collagen biostimulators
These procedures are often combined with surgical contouring to improve overall skin appearance.
Services for International Patients
The clinic provides support for patients traveling to Brazil. Dr. Roger Domingos offers video consultations to discuss surgical goals and risks before travel. The team manages post-operative follow-up through digital platforms once patients return home.
International services include:
- Personalized video consultations for surgical planning
- Written operative summaries including implant details
- Clear aftercare instructions for the recovery period
- Coordination for local wound checks if needed abroad
The clinic recommends that patients coordinate return flights based on surgeon clearance. This helps reduce the risk of blood clots during recovery.
