Arm
Lift
Procedure overview
Brachioplasty reduce excess skin and fat of the upper arm which leads to a reduction of the circumference of the upper arm. When there is good skin tone or minimal skin sagging, fat deposits can be reduced by liposuction alone. But marked skin redundancy or laxity can only be improved by the resection of both excess skin and fat. The skin incision is usually placed in the inside of the upper arm to hide the scar and this generally leads to an excellent cosmetic appearance and contour of the arm.
Surgery takes approximately two to three hours.
The anesthesia can be general or local with sedation.
Usually this is an inpatient procedure and the patient is discharged the following day.
In some cases edema or lymphoedema of the arms can result.
Infection, bleeding, bruising, wound breakdown, skin necrosis (skin loss), asymmetry and scars.
The healing process may take seven to ten days. An elastic bandage or compression garment may be recommended for several months.
Good and stable results can be achieved in young patients with adiposities and good skin tone as well as in adults of older age, sometimes with the help of several months of postoperative elastic compression.
