The Procedure
What is Arm and Biceps Augmentation?
Arm augmentation with implants or fat grafting allows for greater volume in the biceps and triceps area, improving the proportion and aesthetics of the arms.
We use custom 3D implant technology: each prosthesis is digitally modelled according to the patient's unique anatomy before the procedure. This guarantees perfect integration with the existing musculature and a completely natural result, indistinguishable from a natural biceps.
The surgery is performed under local anaesthesia or sedation and takes approximately 1–2 hours. Incisions are placed in strategic areas to minimise scarring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions answered
Your surgery includes the surgical procedure, a personalised nutritional plan for the pre- and post-operative period, personal training sessions at a specialist gym, all medical check-ups, and continuous follow-up.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia or sedation. Post-operative discomfort is mild and is easily managed with the prescribed medication. Most patients report minimal discomfort.
The first results are visible within a few weeks. The final result is apparent between 3 and 6 months after the procedure, once the skin has fully retracted.
With our comprehensive method, which includes a nutritionist and personal trainer, we transform your habits to maintain results permanently. The extracted fat cells do not return.
Most patients resume their daily activities within 48–72 hours. Medical follow-up ensures an optimal and safe recovery.
Modern implants have no fixed expiry date, but periodic review is recommended. According to manufacturers and SECPRE, a check-up every 2–3 years with ultrasound or MRI is advisable. Replacement is considered if capsular contracture, rupture, or a desired aesthetic change occurs.
This is uncommon with latest-generation implants. Silent rupture is detected at follow-up appointments; displacement or rotation is prevented by correct surgical technique and the post-operative compression garment.
It is the formation of scar tissue around the implant that can harden the area. It occurs in a small percentage of cases; we use textured or smooth implants according to anatomy and antimicrobial protocols to minimise it.
After full recovery you can resume normal life. Sensitivity is maintained in most cases. Adjust the plan according to your activity level and the type of implant chosen.
During the first few weeks the implant settles into its pocket. The final result is apparent between 3 and 6 months, once the swelling subsides and the tissues adapt to the implant.

Honest Information
Risks and safety of biceps implants
Every surgery, however minimally invasive, carries risks. We explain them transparently so you can make a fully informed decision. At NATURAL FIT® Body Contouring we apply the strictest protocols to minimise them.
Capsular contracture
Hardening of tissue around the implant. Uncommon with modern implants and correct technique; treated with medical management or revision surgery depending on the degree.
Rotation or displacement
The implant may shift from its ideal position in isolated cases. Precise pocket technique and the post-operative garment minimise this risk.
Implant rupture
Low risk with latest-generation implants. Detected at scheduled follow-up appointments with ultrasound or MRI and replaced if it occurs.
Haematomas and seromas
Accumulation of blood or fluid around the implant. The compression garment and drainage minimise their occurrence.
Sensitivity changes
Temporary changes in sensitivity in the area. Normal sensitivity is progressively restored in most cases.
Infection
Low risk thanks to the aseptic protocol, antibiotic prophylaxis, and pocket selection. It is the complication requiring the most prompt attention if it arises.
According to the Spanish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (SECPRE) and the Spanish Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (AECEP), current implants have an excellent safety profile when placed by an accredited plastic surgeon in a hospital setting, with the recommended periodic follow-up.
